Aspirin overdose can lead to metabolic acidosis and cause pulmonary edema development. Early symptoms of aspirin poisoning also include tinnitus, hyperventilation, vomiting, dehydration, and fever. Late signs include drowsiness, bizarre behavior, unsteady walking, and coma. Abnormal breathing caused by aspirin poisoning is usually rapid and deep. Pulmonary edema may be related to an increase in permeability within the capillaries of the lung leading to "protein leakage" and transudation of fluid in both renal and pulmonary tissues. The alteration in renal tubule permeability may lead to a change in colloid osmotic pressure and thus facilitate pulmonary edema (via Medscape).

Has a pregnancy category X and associated with central nervous system defects, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, prematurity, hemorrhage, and ocular defects when given anytime during pregnancy and a fetal warfarin syndrome when given during the first trimester. Option B: Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar). Also has a pregnancy category X which has a high risk of causing permanent damage to the fetus. Option C: Celecoxib (Celebrex). Large doses cause birth defects in rabbits; not known if the effect on people is the same. Option D: Clonidine (Catapres). Crosses the placenta but no adverse fetal effects have been observed. Option E: Transdermal nicotine (Habitrol). Nicotine replacement products have been assigned to pregnancy category C (nicotine gum) and category D (transdermal patches, inhalers, and spray nicotine products). Option F: Clofazimine (Lamprene). Clofazimine has been assigned to pregnancy category C.

Raynaud’s disease is most common in young women and is frequently associated with rheumatologic disorders, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
In torticollis, the sternocleidomastoid muscle is contracted, limiting the range of motion of the neck and causing the chin to point to the opposing side. Option B: In craniosynostosis one of the cranial sutures, often the sagittal, closes prematurely, causing the head to grow in an abnormal shape. Option C: Plagiocephaly refers to the flattening of one side of the head, caused by the infant being placed supine in the same position over time. Option D: Hydrocephalus is caused by a build-up of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain resulting in large head size.
