Excess weight gain in the first 18 months of life is associated with later childhood overweight, obesity and greater arterial wall thickness
Commentary on: Skilton MR, Marks GB, Ayer JG, et al.. Weight gain in infancy and vascular risk factors in later childhood. Pediatrics 2013;131:e1821–8. Implications for practice and research The association between early postnatal weight gain and later childhood obesity suggests that programmes providing culturally tailored, universal, affordable or free support to families of newborns and infants are essential. Nursing care should emphasise the importance of optimal, rather than maximal, infant growth. Nursing research, in particular qualitative methods, could strengthen understanding of infant feeding practices and...

Stroke of luck
Wes Varda recalls noticing symptoms of what would result in a stroke a year before it actually happened.
In 2007, he began feeling dizzy, and it would get worse with seasonal allergies. After a really bad episode that sent him home from work, he consulted his doctor who diagnosed it as benign vertigo.
A year later, Varda had another dizzy spell, but this time, he lost voluntary control of his muscles. Realizing something was wrong, he called his father for help, and a few hours later, Varda’s…

Thromboembolic stroke: a sequela of Hymenoptera venom–induced anaphylaxis
The potential for anaphylaxis to Hymenoptera stings is well known. Anaphylaxis often occurs after a number of uneventful prior stings.1 In the United States, a Hymenoptera sting can lead to a systemic allergic reaction in 3% of adults and accounts for more deaths than any other envenomation.1 Thromboembolic stroke associated with Hymenoptera venom–induced anaphylaxis has not been documented in the literature.

Ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections for adhesive capsulitis more effective than placebo
Commentary on: Prestgaard T, Wormgoor ME, Haugen S, et al.. Ultrasound-guided intra-articular and rotator interval corticosteroid injections in adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: a double-blind, sham-controlled randomized study. Pain 2015;156:1683–91. Context Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder or painful stiff shoulder) is relatively common. It is idiopathic: known associated factors include trauma, diabetes, prolonged immobilisation, age, stroke and autoimmune disease. While self-limited, pain and decreased range of motion can last up to 2–3 years. Therefore, there is practical value in therapeutic in...

New reversal agent for factor Xa inhibitors shows promise
Commentary on: Siegal DM, Curnette JT, Connolly SJ, et al.. Andexanet alfa for the reversal of Factor Xa inhibitor activity. N Engl J Med 2015;373:2413–24. Context Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have emerged as alternatives to vitamin K-antagonists (eg, warfarin) for the long-term management of stroke prevention for non-valvular atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolic disease. Favourable side-effect profiles and absence of therapeutic monitoring are important benefits of these newer agents. Warfarin is readily reversed with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or prothrombin complex concentrates.1 The first reversal ag...

Case presentation: the dancing man from sierra leone
Discussion
Making this diagnosis is challenging, as brain imaging often shows non specific changes and blood results are usually normal. CSF may reveal raised proteins and WBCs. A high index of suspicion is required to arrange a brain biopsy as this confirms the diagnosis.
