Unusual Tachycardia After Cocaine Use —Reply
In Reply I thank Lin and He for their interest in my case report. Most of their points were already addressed in detail, however. Determining the cause of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BVT) was clearly addressed when I stated that “treatment of BVT should consider the cause of the arrhythmia.” Gastric lavage for treatment of aconitine ingestion was also mentioned.

Regulatory roles of ACSL5 in the anti-tumor function of palmitic acid (C16:0) & lt;em & gt;via & lt;/em & gt; the ERK signaling pathway
Eur J Histochem. 2023 Nov 8;67(4). doi: 10.4081/ejh.2023.3867.ABSTRACTPrevious studies have highlighted the susceptibility of cancer to perturbations in lipid metabolism. In particular, C16:0 has emerged as a promising novel treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma. In our study, we investigated the levels of C16:0 in the serum of non-small lung cancer patients were significant downregulation compared to healthy individuals (n=10; p<0.05). Moreover, our in vitro experiments using A549 cells demonstrated that C16:0 effectively inhibited proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. Despite these promising results, its...

Removal of an impacted apricot pit from a scarring duodenal stenosis using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) stone extraction technique
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2023 Nov 6. doi: 10.17235/reed.2023.10019/2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 66-year-old man presented with repeated vomiting for 5 days. Initial gastroscopy showed gastric retention while computed tomography (CT) revealed a 1.8*1.1 cm, oval-shaped, high-density object in the duodenum. Considering his past medical history of a surgical repair for duodenal ulcer perforation 20 years ago, a diagnosis of foreign body (FB) impaction causing gastric outlet obstruction was established. After gastric lavage, a second gastroscopy was performed. A brownish round FB impacted upon scarring stenoses at the junct...
