TOXICOLOGY OF CAFFEINE OR COFFEE OVERDOSE from http://rcm-medicine.upr.clu.edu/publications/sidne y_kaye/toxicology-of-caffeine.htm From the Institute of Legal Medicine, UPR School of Medicine, Medical Center, Rio Piedras, P.R.
Caffeine is probably the most widely used of all drugs. It is found in coffee, tea and "cola" drinks. Can it be harmful, or is it a perfectly safe refreshing beverage?
Millions of people drink countless cups of coffee daily - some are bound to drink excessive amounts (more than 5 cups). This could in some cases produce bizarre symptoms.
"Has caffeine overindulgence ever been overlooked and the symptoms diagnosed as psychoneurosis, anxiety type"? This was the question presented by Dr. J. F. Greden, the Director of Psychiatric Research, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, at the 1974 Spring meeting of the American Psychiatric Society (1). Coffee excesses can elicit symptoms of violent behavior in some persons; but what a feeling of relief to both Physician and patient to see the symptoms completely disappear on the physician's order to stop drinking coffee for 2 days.
The symptoms of caffeine overdose are varied and bizarre and could be easily misinterpreted, as it will be described in the following sections.
Caffeine Chemical Formula: C8H10N402
Occurrence (2)
Coffee (coffee arabica): There are about 100 mg of caffeine per cup.
Tea (thea sinensis): Has about 75 mg of caffeine per cup (caffeine + theophylline).
Cocoa (thio broma cocoa): Contains about 200 mg of theobromine per cup.
"Cola" drinks (cola acumenato): Has about 60 mg of caffeine per cup.
Synonyms
Methyl theobromine; xanthine chemical group; trimethyl xanthine. Theophylline and theobromine are related xanthines that are pharmacologically similar to caffeine.
Uses
Caffeine is a powerful CNS stimulant, a mild diuretic and has been used as a mild antidepressant. It maintains wakefullness (Antihypnoid), decreases drowsiness, and fatigue, 'While increasing clearness of the mental process acting as a cortical stimulant. It is incorporated in "cold treatment or pain tablets" such as APC and others.
Caffeine is most commonly used in the form of coffee (by far) as a "pick up" mental stimulant, since it decreases feeling of sleepiness, especially at breakfast and also the feeling of boredom or tiredness at midmorning and midafternoon. Many millions of cups of coffee are consumed daily at the customary "coffee breaks".
Physical Properties
Caffeine is a white crystalline and shiny powder with a melting point of 236° C and is a weak base.
MLD
Very few deaths have been reported by its use and probably when used in excess of 10 grams. The blood lethal level are probably in excess of 15 mg percent.
Remarks
No deaths have been reported by an overdose of drinking coffee, - but an overdose of coffee of more than 5 cups per day may have a direct dose related effect on the central nervous system, and may affect the heart and its rhythm, blood vessel diameter, coronary circulation and increase blood pressure, urine volumen and gastric secretions. These effects are capable of producing bizarre signs and symptoms which are very baffling, i.e.: High fever or low grade fever unresponsive to persistent antibiotic treatment (3), psychoneurosis (anxiety) unresponsive to Diazeparn (1) and paraxysmal atrial tachycardia (4).
Symptoms (1-9)
The symptoms vary with acquired or inborn tolerance, but in general the patients may complain of light headedness, dizziness, breathlessness, chest discomfort, nervousness, irritability, tremulousness, muscle twitching, tension headache, insomnia (difficulty in getting to sleep or staying asleep), psychoneurosis (anxiety), lack of appetite, loss of weight, restlessness, silliness, elation, euphoria, confusion, disorientation, excitation, and even v
Why not just build a console with a keyboard and mouse, setup for massively multiplayer gaming only?...and then lock it into a shifty subscription based hardware upgrade blood-line that costs enormous sums of money.
Yeah, my first impression of this game is that it is exactly like Tribes 2, except the turrets are user contolled, and some of the team play modes are different (but AWESOME). At first, I found the vehicle control mechanisms a little bit worse than Tribes 2 (you have to hold down jump to gain altitude) but I guess I can live with it. Having the multitude of variety in vehicles should make the teamplay interesting.
T2 is nice because you have more defined roles. For instance, I could spend an entire game repairing and defending the base, and not fire a single shot! There is a learning curve though. I dont know if this would be the right game for a beginner. Hell, I started out with Quake2 myself, and I turned out fine.
I did this as well. Summer jobs suck. I used to take the 300 degree plates off the conveyor. by the end of the summer, I had NO feeling left in my fingertips.
