RESUMO
En los últimos años, la Sumisión Química con escopolamina, conocida popularmente como Burundanga, ha recibido una importante atención de los medios de comunicación de masas en nuestro país sin una clara correlación con el número de casos notificados en la literatura científica. Esta ausencia de casos notificados puede ser debida en parte a la dificultad de obtener un diagnóstico analítico que permita confirmar la presencia de la misma en los sujetos que la padecen. Presentamos tres casos de varones con Sumisión Química confirmada con escopolamina atendidos en nuestro centro
In recent years, Drug-facilitated crime with Scopolamine, popularly known as Burundanga, has received significant attention from the mass media in our country without a clear correlation with the number of cases reported in the scientific literature. The absence of reported cases may be due in part to the difficulty of obtaining an analytical diagnosis that allows confirming its presence. We present three cases of confirmed Drug-facilitated crime with Scopolamine in our center

The association of copper and zinc to plasma ligands was studied during the rat perinatal period. Analysis was carried out by means of column chromatography (Sephadex G-150) and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Levels of copper were low at birth and showed a sharp increase after day 10. This increase was similar to that of ceruloplasmin activity as well as its association with copper. Zinc levels, instead, showed higher levels before birth and decreased slowly toward the adult values. Association of zinc to albumin and associated proteins showed a pattern similar to the decrease in plasma zinc levels.
