Reduced brain connectivity in frontal cortex linked to propofol-induced loss of consciousness
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) A new study shows that loss of responsiveness induced by propofol, a commonly used anesthetic, is associated with greatly diminished brain connectivity in the frontal cortex and significant changes in resting state brain networks. The study, based on a novel method for constructing total brain connectivity maps and comparing them with results obtained for resting state networks, is published in Brain Connectivity.

Treatment of cocaine cardiovascular toxicity: a systematic review. Richards JR et al. Clin Toxicol 2016 Feb 26 [Epub ahead of print]
Abstract

There is considerable controversy among toxicologists, emergency physicians, and cardiologists as to the best agent...

Two Cases of Refractory Cardiogenic Shock Secondary to Bupropion Successfully Treated with Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrance Oxygenation. Heise CW et al. J Med Toxicol 2016 Feb 8 [Epub Ahead of Print]
Abstract
This awesome, exciting paper from Banner University Medical Center in Phoenix describes two teenagers with severe bupropion overdose who survived refractory cardiac arrest after veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO):
Case 1: A 15-year-old girl was brought to hospital after ingesting up to 90 150-mg bupropion tablets. She had a seizure en route...
