Case Conference: agitated delirium from snorting “bath salts”
This article is part of the New England Journal of Medicine‘s “Case Records of the Massachusetts General Hospital” series. There is a very good discussion of the initial approach and differential diagnosis for a patient who presents with “agitation, delirium abnormal vital signs, and reports he had taken a toxic substance.” However, I find some of the management decisions puzzling. The patient was initially treated with fomepizole and sodium thiosulfate. Although toxic alcohols and cyanide are certainly in the differential for metabolic acidosis, that seems to me a case of treating the lab val...

The effect of propofol on the sciatic nerve
Propofol is a rapid, but short-acting, intravenous drug that is preferentially used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia. Propofol can inhibit inflammation and suppress the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha from astrocytes, and enhance the synthesis and release of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10. Consequently, propofol can inhibit damage caused by proinflammatory cytokines and exert protective effects on the central nervous system... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)

Propofol's effect on the sciatic nerve: Harmful or protective?
(Neural Regeneration Research) A recent study published in the Neural Regeneration Research showed that after propofol was injected into the injured sciatic nerve of mice, nuclear factor kappa B expression in the L4-6 segments of the spinal cord in the injured side was reduced, apoptosis was decreased, nerve myelin defects were alleviated, and the nerve conduction block was lessened.

UCLA psychologists report new insights on human brain, consciousness
This study, he said, marks an initial step toward conducting neuroscience research on consciousness.   The research was conducted at Belgium's University Hospital of Liege.   Monti's expertise includes cognitive neuroscience, the relationship between language and thought, and how consciousness is lost and recovered after severe brain injury. He was part of a team of American and Israeli brain scientists who used fMRI on former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in January 2013 to assess his brain responses.   Surprisingly, Sharon, who was presumed to be in a vegetative state since suffering a brain hemorrha...

Ohio has exhausted its supplies of pentobarbital, the powerful sedative it uses to execute prisoners, becoming the latest death penalty state to be hit by what amounts to a boycott on drug sales to US corrections departments.Ohio expended its last viable doses of pentobarbital on Wednesday in killing Harry Mitts Jr, 61, sentenced to death for the 1994 shootings in Cleveland of a black man and a police officer.

New anesthetics likely following propofol discovery
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Imperial College London have identified the site where the widely used anesthetic drug propofol binds to receptors in the brain to sedate patients during surgery. Until now, it hasn't been clear how propofol connects with brain cells to induce anesthesia. The researchers believe the findings, reported online in the journal Nature Chemical Biology, eventually will lead to the development of more effective anesthetics with fewer side effects...
