797 Citations1985Ira J. Chasnoff, William J. Burns +2 more
It is suggested that cocaine influences the outcome of pregnancy as well as the neurologic behavior of the newborn, but a full assessment will require a larger number of pregnancies and longer follow-up.
JAMADeath Caused by Recreational Cocaine Use
255 Citations1979Charles V. Wetli
The data suggest that the rate of absorption, the peak blood concentration, and the prior use of cocaine all contribute to the possibility of a fatal reaction, and despite current belief, cocaine cannot be considered a safe recreational drug.

The 100-milligram dose given intranasally and all of the doses given intravenously produced significant dose-related physiologic and subjective responses.

Excerpt Cocaine has the peculiar quality of being both a local anesthetic and a sympathomimetic agent with powerful central nervous-system stimulant effects.

While routes of administration for modern recreational use could lead to unexpected drug accumulation in the blood it is not likely to occur from chewing coca leaves.
CHEST JournalCocaine and Acute Myocardial Infarction
133 Citations1984Warren A. Kossowsky, Alan F. Lyon
The close temporal correlation in two cases between cocaine use and clinical infarction and the relative paucity of atherosclerotic blockage of the coronary arteries in the others suggest that cocaine, either by a mechanism of coronary artery spasm or by increased myocardial oxygen demand consequent to hypertension and tachycardia, is implicated in the precipitation of these infarctions.
Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental TherapeuticsMODIFICATION OF THE EFFECT OF TYRAMINE BY VARIOUS AGENTS AND PROCEDURES
126 Citations1961U. Trendelenburg
The phenomenon of subsensitivity to tyramine can be experimentally separated from that of supersensitivity to norepinephrine; it is likely that two different mechanisms are responsible for the two phenomena.

The most common cause of cerebral infarction in the 18 infants evaluated in this series was perinatal asphyxia, and 14 of the 18 have died or are faring poorly at 4 to 12 months of age.

Cerebral infarcts of arterial origin in neonates probably have been missed in living patients in the past, but now are recognized in the newborn period by properly timed CT examination.

117 Citations1982Ira J. Chasnoff, Roger P. Hatcher +1 more
The effects of nonnarcotic drugs on intrauterine growth and neonatal behavior appear to place the polydrug-addicted newborn in an intermediate zone of deficit between normal and opiate-add addicted newborns.

The most characteristic features of the PCP-exposed infants were the sudden outbursts of agitation and rapid changes in level of consciousness, similar to responses described in adults intoxicated with PCP.

It is shown that occlusive vascular disease is a prominent feature of severe perinatal asphyxia and is associated with venous sinus thrombosis in five infants.

An evaluation of neonatal behavior using the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale revealed that infants of mothers who used T's and blue's throughout pregnancy demonstrated interactive deficits and withdrawal similar to methadone-addicted newborns.
