Psychotomimetic symptoms after a moderate dose of a synthetic cannabinoid (JWH-018): implications for psychosis

Psychopharmacology January 26, 2021 Eef L. Theunissen, Johannes T. Reckweg, Nadia R. P. W. Hutten et al. 20 citations

Use of the CytoSorb adsorption device in MDMA intoxication: a first-in-man application and in vitro study

Intensive Care Medicine Experimental June 21, 2020 Corinna N. Lang, Michaela J. Sommer, Merja A. Neukamm et al. 31 citations

To date, there is no causal therapy of MDMA intoxication and removal of MDMA from the circulation might be a reasonable measure to prevent adverse courses after overdosing. We present here first-in-man experience and in vitro...
