Disease relevance of sulfanylidenebarium

From profound hypokalemia to life-threatening hyperkalemia: a case of barium sulfide poisoning [1].
A case of deliberate overdose of barium sulphide in a psychiatric setting is presented, with resulting flaccid paralysis, malignant arrhythmia, respiratory arrest and severe hypokalaemia, but ultimately with complete recovery [2].

Anatomical context of sulfanylidenebarium

We describe a 25-year-old man who was brought to the emergency department with skeletal muscle weakness, respiratory arrest, and rhabdomyolysis, as well as life-threatening hyperkalemia, after ingesting a depilatory containing barium sulfide (Magic Shave; Carson Products Co, Savannah, Ga) [1].
