Introduction Acute copper toxicity is a rare occurrence, and management guidelines are not based on robust evidence. Treatment recommendations are often extrapolated from those of chronic copper intoxication and the management of Wilson’s disease. Although D-penicillamine, EDTA, and dimercaprol have varying success, we describe the use of chelation with succimer monotherapy in a patient with acute copper salt ingestion with su...

During ontogeny, environmental factors can shape trait development and resource allocation to aid survival, reflecting adaptive plasticity. This may include differential investment in brain regions in response to cognitive challenges. Especially the brain anatomy of fish seems to respond readily to biotic and abiotic factors. However, we currently lack sufficient data to determine the extent to which such changes are consisten...
