Poisoning due to organophosphate insecticides. acute and chronic manifestations
TL;DR: Two patients with Diazinon ® poisoning and the second with parathion poisoning illustrate the acute manifestations, the criteria for diagnosis, and treatment with pralidoxime and atropine in organophosphate poisoning.

Cholinergic Innervation of the Canine and Human Ventricular Conducting System Anatomic and Electrophysiologic Correlations
TL;DR: It is concluded that the enhanced ventricular electrical stability produced by vagal stimulation in dogs is mediated by cholinergic nerve fibers which supply the ventricular conduction system, and this anatomic pathway is present in human hearts.

Tricyclic Antidepressant Poisoning: Reversal of Coma, Choreoathetosis, and Myoclonus by Physostigmine
TL;DR: Physostigmine salicylate appears to be the drug of choice in tricyclic antidepressant poisoning as well as in treating classical anticholinergic intoxication, and can be used as a diagnostic test for suspected poisoning from these agents.
