For participants, the effectiveness of intravenous lipid emulsions to treat poisoning with tricyclic antidepressants was interesting.Tricyclic antidepressants are one the major
causes of drug toxicity, and they can cause severe damage
to cardiovascular and neurologic system. There has been some evidence which shows that intravenous lipid emulsions can effectively reverse TCA toxicity.This evidence is limited to some experimental animal studies and some case reports, so this study is the first randomized controlled trial on this issue. |

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
After my paper was accepted
I applied for my visa and I made an appointment for the French Embassy. After getting visa, I tried to buy the ticket to Marseille, France. I prepared myself .
At least 3 months before traveling I made an appointmet for getting visa. You can buy tickets in lower prices if you apply earlier. It's better to reserve a room in hotel. It's better to be in group for staying at a hotel so you can save money and have the accompaniment of friends. It's better to take subway for transporting. I bought the food from supermarkets and chain restaurants, they were cheaper and with better quality. Trip Advisor is a good software for finding the places to visit. I prepared myself for my presentation. I practiced a lot. |
