Cyanide Poison

Let's start by understanding exactly how cyanide kills you. In simple terms, cyanide prevents cells from using oxygen to make energy molecules.

The cyanide ion, CN-, binds to the iron atom in cytochrome C oxidase in the mitochondria of cells. It acts as an irreversible enzyme inhibitor, preventing cytochrome C oxidase from doing its job, which is to transport electrons to oxygen in the electron transport chain of aerobic cellular respiration. Now unable to use oxygen, the mitochondria can't produce the energy carrier adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Tissues that require this form of energy, such as heart, muscle cells, and nerve cells, quickly expend all their energy and start to die. When a large enough number of critical cells die, you expire as well. Death usually results from respiratory or heart failure.

Immediate aymptoms include headaches, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, lack of coordination, and rapid heart rate. Long exposure symptoms include unconsciousness, convulsions, respiratory failure, coma and death.

A person exposed to cyanide may have cherry-red skin from high oxygen levels, or dark blue coloring, from Prussian blue (iron-binding to the cyanide ion). In addition to this, skin and body fluids may give off an almond odor.

The antidotes for cyanide include sodium nitrite, hydroxocobalamin, and sodium thiosulfate.

A high dose of inhaled cyanide is lethal too quickly for any treatment to take effect, but ingested cyanide or lower doses of inhaled cyanide may be countered by administering antidotes that detoxify cyanide or bind to it. For example, hydroxocobalamin, natural vitamin B12, reacts with cyanide to form cyanocobalamin, which leaves the body in urine.

These antidotes are administrated via injection, or IV infusion.

Cyanide is actually a lot more common than you'd think. It's in pesticides, fumigants, plastics, and electroplating, among other things. However, not all cyanide are so poisonous. Sodium cyanide (NaCN), potassium cyanide (KCN), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), and cyanogen chloride (CNCl) are lethal, but thousands of compounds called nitriles contain the cyanide group, yet aren't as toxic. They still aren't terribly good for you, so I wouldn't go around ingesting other cyanide compounds, but they're not quite as dangerous as the lethal kind.

Thank you for reading, have a lovely day :)

The Case of Jeffrey Dahmer:

Sexual Serial Homicide from a Neuropsychiatric Developmental Perspective

J. Arturo Silva, M.D

Michelle M. Ferrari, M.D

Gregory B. Leong, M.D

)c(

"Sexual serial homicidal behavior has received considerable attention during the last three decades. Substantial progress has been made in the development of methods aimed at identifying and apprehending individuals who exhibit these behaviors. In spite of these advances, the origins of sexual serial killing behavior remain for the most part unknown. In this article we propose a biopsychosocial psychiatric model for un- derstanding the origins of sexual serial homicidal behavior from both neuropsychiatric and developmental perspectives, using the case of convicted serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer as the focal point. We propose that his homicidal behavior was intrinsically associated with autistic spectrum psy- chopathology, specifically Asperger’s disorder. The relationship of Asperger’s disorder to other psychopathology and to his homicidal behavior is explored. We discuss potential implications of the proposed model for the future study of the causes of sexual serial homicidal criminal."

"Poggers."

[wowowwild]

The vending machine dialogue for each of the snacks is so funny and cute and they're siblings your honor.

Transcripts under the cut:

Hotdog $7

Edgeworth: "When you're in hot water, you might need a hot dog." ... Hmm... It looks like the slogan was decided through a public contest. And the winner was... Prosecutor Winston Payne... ?

Franziska: Hmph. What a pathetic slogan. No presence at all! Now if it was up to me it would read... "If you leave matters in a Von Karma's hands, everyone in court will be found guilty dogs!"

Edgeworth: ... Objection!

Franziska: Overruled!

Orange Juice $9

Edgeworth: "When it's looking bad, blind your opposition with some OJ!" Are they promoting violence?

Franziska: Don't worry. My whip will make sure anybody following this advice won't be for long.

Edgeworth: (Compared to the sting of a whip, the sting of orange juice may not be so bad.. )

Beef Jerky $9

Edgeworth: "Don't be a jerk in court like these beef jerks!" I see...

Franziska: Objection! Miles Edgeworth! Wouldn't you agree that it's a very clever pun?

Edgeworth: Do you really think they put that much effort into the product name?

Franziska: *with lots of shaking and flashing* Even a foolish fool could understand the foolish thinking of the fool who made it up! *without the shaking and flashes* You're acting so foolishly that I got so thoroughly mad, and am now utterly famished!

Edgeworth: ... If you wanted a pack of these, all you had to do was act like a normal person.

Milk $7

Edgeworth: "Defendant's Fresh Milk!" ... What exactly is that supposed to mean?

Franziska: I bet it means that the milk is freshly milked by various defendants on trial right now.

Edgeworth: No, I think it might mean that this was milked right here from the various defendants.

Franziska: Miles Edgeworth... You can't possibly be serious!

Edgeworth: ... Of course not.

Ham Sandwich $8

Edgeworth: "Don't let the prosecution and the defense make a ham sandwich out of you!" ...?

Franziska: It sounds like it's directed at that ham of a Judge.

Edgeworth: Well, it certainly isn't directed at me. I can out-maneuver him any day.

Swiss Rolls $6

Franziska: "Stay neutral as the Swiss do until the end of these!" ... The end of what?

Edgeworth: Well, I assume it means the end of the trial. I suppose this means that one should eat these during a recess...?

Franziska: You can't eat during a trial so I suppose the only time you can eat them is now, huh!

Edgeworth: I wouldn't mind if you wanted to eat one niw. They come in packs of two, after all.

Franziska: Hmph. We're in the middle of an investigation! Besides, I don't have $6 on me!

Edgeworth: If you want, we can pool our money and buy a pack together.

Franziska: If I have to split it with you, then I don't want it!
