Finally! The “New England Journal of Medicine” discovers medical toxicology
4 out of 5 stars
Case 12-2018: A 30-Year-Old Woman with Cardiac Arrest. Goldstein JN, Dudzinski DM, Erickson TB et al. N Engl J Med 2018 Apr 19;378:1538-1549.
Reference
In the past, we’ve complained that the New England Journal of Medicine never seemed to include a toxicologist or emergency physician as a discussant in relevant cases in their series “Case Records of the Massachusetts General Hospital.” This resulted in some embarrassingly lame reviews, especially for a journal of such prestige.
Well, it looks like the editors may finally have seen the light. In a recent issue, our friend Dr. Tim Eric...

How Flight Crews Really Deal With All That Jet Lag
Find yourself draggy for a week after a redeye? Just think of the flight attendants and pilots who do it all the time.
Former Continental Airlines flight attendant Abbie Unger told The Huffington Post that for her, the most grueling part of working transcontinental flights was the varied schedule. Unger, who is also a HuffPost blogger, was an on-call flight attendant and did not have a set number of flights she worked per month.
“I never worked a day that was nine to five, so I was constantly trying to regulate my body clock as I juggled early morning check-ins followed by late night check-ins,” she said.

A Troubling Potential Link Between Sleep Aids And Mental Illness
In today's "always on," high-stress world, it has become commonplace to turn to over-the-counter sleep aids for a little help with drifting off into dreamland at night. However, that habit, if made a consistent one, could lead to potentially serious damage when it comes to ones mental health.
A new study zeroing in on anticholinergic drugs -- a category that includes common non-prescription sleeping aids and antihistamines like Benadryl -- found that the long-term use of such medications in higher doses can lead to an increased risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, in the future. It's the first study...

Media dementia scare over hay fever and sleep drugs
Conclusion
This large US prospective cohort study suggests a link between those taking high levels of anticholinergic medicines for more than three years and developing dementia in adults over 65.
The main statistically significant finding was in a group taking the equivalent of any of the following medications daily for more than three years:
xybutynin chloride, 5mg
chlorpheniramine maleate, 4mg
olanzapine, 2.5mg
meclizine hydrochloride, 25mg
doxepin hydrochloride, 10mg
These are not unrealistic doses of medicine, so the results may be applicable to a significant proportion of older adults.
