Food Allergies: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Aug;108(2):159-165.ABSTRACTIn the United States, approximately 2% to 3% of adults and 8% of children have a food allergy. Allergic reactions range from minor pruritus to life-threatening anaphylaxis. These allergies often lead to significant anxiety and costs for patients and caregivers. Common food allergies include peanuts, cow's milk, shellfish, tree nuts, egg, fish, soy, and wheat. Peanut allergy, the most common, is the leading cause of life-threatening anaphylaxis.

We Can Prevent Overdose Deaths If We Change How We Think About Them
I’ve been living in recovery from opioid use disorder for eight and a half years, and this might be a weird thing to say about addiction, but I feel lucky—like I dodged a bullet.

Drug Allergy in Older Adults: A Study from the United States Drug Allergy Registry
CONCLUSION: Older adults represented a quarter of USDAR participants but were neither racially nor ethnically diverse and were generally healthy without considerable antibiotic need. Most older adults presented for antibiotic allergy assessments, the vast majority of which were disproved. Drug allergy assessments may be underutilized in the older adults who are most vulnerable to the harms of unconfirmed antibiotic allergy labels.PMID:37557950 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2023.07.024

Immediate Postoperative Management of Cardiac Surgery Patients
Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J. 2023 Aug 1;19(4):97-99. doi: 10.14797/mdcvj.1274. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTCardiac surgery is quite common in the United States. Outcomes after cardiac surgery are not only dependent on how the surgery went and how the anesthesia care was provided intraoperatively but also on the optimal management in the postoperative critical care setting. It is of paramount importance that the cardiac intensivist has a comprehensive understanding of cardiopulmonary physiology and the sequelae of cardiopulmonary bypass. Most preventable deaths after cardiac surgery have been linked to postoperative problem...
