The boon and bane of nitrous oxide
Eur Arch Psychiatry Clin Neurosci. 2024 Apr 13. doi: 10.1007/s00406-024-01801-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNitrous oxide (N2O) has been known since the end of the eighteenth century. Today, N2O plays a huge role as a greenhouse gas and an ozone-depleting stratospheric molecule. The main sources of anthropogenic N2O emissions are agriculture, fuel combustion, wastewater treatment, and various industrial processes. By contrast, the contribution of medical N2O to the greenhouse effect appears to be small. The recreational and medical uses of N2O gradually diverged over time. N2O has analgesic and anesthetic effects, makin...

The boon and bane of nitrous oxide
AbstractNitrous oxide (N2O) has been known since the end of the eighteenth century. Today, N2O plays a huge role as a greenhouse gas and an ozone-depleting stratospheric molecule. The main sources of anthropogenic N2O emissions are agriculture, fuel combustion, wastewater treatment, and various industrial processes. By contrast, the contribution of medical N2O to the greenhouse effect appears to be small. The recreational and medical uses of N2O gradually diverged over time. N2O has analgesic and anesthetic effects, making it widely used in modern dentistry and surgery. New research has also begun studying N2O ’s antidep...

Vitamin B12 deficiency-induced megaloblastic anemia in a pediatric patient with autism spectrum disorder with a chronically unbalanced diet
We report the case of an 11-year-old boy with ASD who developed megaloblastic anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency. He had a prolonged history of selective eating for more than 10 years. His nutritional status on admission was poor, and he had low weight and short stature. His food selectivity was so strong that intervention to expand diet variety was unsuccessful. A developmental-behavioral pediatrician found that the patient had visual dominance and could take some medications when suffering from a minor illness. Nutritional supplements were selected after consultation with a nutritionist. Although compulsory treatment w...

Knuckle hyperpigmentation in a young male: A clinical sign of B12 deficiency not to be missed
Trop Doct. 2024 Feb 29:494755241234081. doi: 10.1177/00494755241234081. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVitamin B12 and folate deficiency are reversible causes of megaloblastic anemia. Strict vegetarians are at risk of megaloblastic anemia due to low cobalamin in their diet. Knuckle hyperpigmentation in patients with megaloblastic anemia is due to excess melanin synthesis in skin. Here we present a case of a young vegetarian male with megaloblastic anemia with knuckle hyperpigmentation managed successfully with intravenous followed by oral vitamin b12 and folate supplementation.PMID:38419508 | DOI:10.1177/00494755241234081 (...
