N° 57 – February 2008
Monthly Electronic Newsletter of Sertox (Latin-American Portal of Toxicology) – Year 5

Like other Januaries, it was a month with a lot of assistential activity. But they also gave us time to upload the statistics of poisoning attending in Sertox during 2007 [See, only available in Spanish]. The increasing trend of cases of scorpionism in recent years was maintained this year: 177 cases, twenty-three more than in 2006 that represented 9.28% of total cases. Also we climb a new monograph on:  Hylesia nigricans (black butterfly) (See: only available in Spanish). See also two new articles in RETEL Nº 14[See then].  In the middle of the campaign launched in Argentina to reduce energy consumption, a dispute about the dangers associated with Low-energy bulb disposal [See]. There is much more to see. Remember: We recommend you to read complete each news bulletin this click the sign ->  at the end of the title (and click on the image if you want to expand it). You can see the bulletin in Spanish, as not all the news is translated to English language (and conversely). Until the next issue. JCP
