Multiple experimental evidences have confirmed that at the molecular level, cancer is caused by lesions in cellular DNA.
Persons who overdose with cardiac glycosides have a better chance of overall survival if they can survive the first 24 hours after the overdose.
In most cases, kidneys can recover from almost complete loss of function, such as in acute kidney (renal) failure.
There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors.

Throughout history, plants containing cardiac steroids have been used as heart drugs and as poisons (e.g., in arrows used in combat), emetics, and diuretics.
