“…Tseng et al (4) found the relationship between long-term exposure to a high-level of arsenic in drinking water and characteristic disease symptoms, including skin lesions, skin cancer, and Blackfoot disease. Ventricular fibrillation caused by arsenic poisoning was also reported by St Petery et al (5). According to Tseng, many endemic areas of chronic arsenicism had been reported for Poland, Argentina, and Chile (6).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…The cardiac effects of arsenic exposure are well known from acute high exposures in occupational [ 24 ] and medical settings [ 25 ], and intentional poisonings [ 26 ]. Other epidemiologic studies have observed associations between ischemic heart disease mortality [ 3 , 8 , 23 ], ischemic heart disease incidence [ 27 ], hypertensive heart disease mortality [ 28 ], hypertension [ 29 ], vascular disease mortality [ 30 ], carotid atherosclerosis [ 31 ], and increased blood pressure [ 32 ] and arsenic exposure.…”

“…[14][15][16] Two cases of torsades des pointes ventricular tachycardia and one case of ventricular fibrillation (preceded by torsades) have been reported after accidental arsenic ingestion. In all 3 cases, QTc prolongation and T-wave inversions, indicative of widespread repolarization abnormalities, were noted to precede the onset of ventricular tachycardia.…”
