- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

- Definition
-
Cyanide poisoning by aerosol gaseous state , HCN, or cyanogen chloride as CBW terror attack or military exposure;
While liquid cyanide can be absorbed through the skin or eyes, the primary route of exposure is by inhalation or ingestion; Following absorption, cyanide is distributed rapidly to all organs and tissues in the body; Cyanide combines with ferric iron in cytochrome a3 (a component of the cytochrome oxidase complex in mitochondria) and inhibits this enzyme; This prevents intracellular oxygen use and results in imbalance between ATP hydrolysis and production; Metabolic acidosis is a hallmark of cyanide toxicity; It develops as cells are forced to use anaerobic metabolism and accumulate hydrogen ions and lactate; clinically seizures followed by respiratory arrest then
circulatory collapse; color good by global hypoxia effects
