Published: May 22, 2013

Author(s): Krista G. Austin, John Travis, Gerry Pace, Harris R. Lieberman

Journal: Drug Testing and Analysis

1,3‐Dimethylamylamine (DMAA) is a sympathomimetic compound currently incorporated into some dietary supplements. Significant controversy exists regarding the ‘natural’ origin of DMAA, as claimed by manufacturers of supplements. Manufacturers often refer to its presence by the name Geranamine® implying that DMAA is found in the plant species Geranium and Pelargonium known collectively as Geraniaceae. This study determined whether DMAA is present in...

Nurse induced respiratory depression by succinylcholine – the ‘hero syndrome’

Published: May 15, 2013

Author(s): F. Musshoff, U. Kuepper, B. Madea

Journal: Drug Testing and Analysis

A nurse administered the neuromuscular blocking agent succinylcholine (SUX) to at least one patient and gave first aid in the therapy of unexpected respiratory depression. SUX is regarded as an undetectable and thus perfect poison due to its short half‐life and degradation to the endogenous compounds choline and succinic acid. However, SUX and especially its metabolite succinylmonocholine (SMC) were found in plasma and urine a few hours...
