Pharmacist ’s knowledge regarding the management of overactive bladder in elderly women
Anticholinergic drugs used to treat overactive bladder (OAB), have common side effects, including constipation, dry eyes and dry mouth. They can also cause central nervous system effects such as confusion and reduction in cognitive function [1]. Polypharmacy and an increase in blood brain barrier permeability increase these effects [2] which, are more likely in the elderly [3] as aging, as well as trauma, multiple sclerosis, hypertension, stroke and diabetes [4], leads to increased blood brain barrier permeability.

The Therapeutic Effect of Electroacupuncture Therapy for Ischemic Stroke.
Authors: Yu BH, Xing Y, Zhang F Abstract Electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation is a supplementary therapy and commonly applied in treatment of ischemic stroke in clinic. Stroke is an important cause of long-term disability in individuals in both developing and developed countries. In our review, we show the application of EA stimulation for apoplectic pain, limbs spasticity, blood flow interruption, depression, swallowing dysfunction, aphasia, urinary incontinence, cognition and memory impairment, and constipation following stroke in patients and the related mechanisms in animals. The effectiveness of EA involves wit...

Daily intermittent fasting in mice enhances morphine-induced antinociception while mitigating reward, tolerance, and constipation
The opioid epidemic has plagued the United States with high levels of abuse and poor quality of life for chronic pain patients requiring continuous use of opioids. New drug discovery efforts have been implemented to mitigate this epidemic; however, new medications are still limited by low efficacy and/or high side effect and abuse potential. Intermittent fasting (IF) has recently been shown to improve a variety of pathological states, including stroke and neuroinflammation. Numerous animal and human studies have shown the benefits of IF in these disease states, but not in pain and opioid treatment. We thus subjected male a...

The Prognostic Value of Traditional Chinese Medicine Symptoms in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Study.
Conclusions: The combination of 10 TCM symptoms, once onset occurred, including hemiplegia, restlessness, hemianesthesia, short breath, headache, constipation, night sweat, tinnitus, thirsty, and gurgling with sputum, may affect the recovery of motor dysfunction. Furthermore, the improvements of TCM symptoms dynamically after treatment would be observed in a large prospective cohort. This trial is registered with NCT01806233. PMID: 32733577 [PubMed]

Clinical research linking Traditional Chinese Medicine constitution types with diseases: a literature review of 1639 observational studies.
CONCLUSION: Eight biased TCM constitutions were closely related to specific diseases, and could be used to guide individualized prevention and treatment. More rigorously designed studies are recommended to further verify the constitution-disease relationship. PMID: 32744037 [PubMed - in process]

Evaluating the Efficacy of Massage Intervention for the Treatment of Poststroke Constipation: A Meta-Analysis.
Conclusion: Our results strongly suggest that massage can effectively reduce the incidence and severity of constipation after stroke. However, large, multicenter, long-term, and high-quality randomized controlled trials need to be conducted to establish a definitive conclusion. PMID: 32595748 [PubMed]

Potassium binders for chronic hyperkalaemia in people with chronic kidney disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Evidence supporting clinical decision-making for different potassium binders to treat chronic hyperkalaemia in adults with CKD is of low certainty; no studies were identified in children. Available studies have not been designed to measure treatment effects on clinical outcomes such as cardiac arrhythmias or major GI symptoms. This review suggests the need for a large, adequately powered study of potassium binders versus placebo that assesses clinical outcomes of relevance to patients, clinicians and policy-makers. This data could be used to assess cost-effectiveness, given the lack of definitive studies and t...

Tu1164 HYGIEACARE PREP FOR COLONOSCOPY CONSISTENTLY PROVIDES 97% ADEQUACY, AND IS AGNOSTIC TO PREDICTORS OF POOR ORAL BOWEL PREP
The quality of bowel preparation (BP) before colonoscopy plays a pivotal role in the safety, efficacy and quality of the outcome of colonoscopy. Inadequate BP is evident in more than 25% of all colonoscopies. High-quality BP is critical for detection of precancerous lesions.. Inadequate BP is correlated with patient-specific factors including age, male gender, medications, comorbidities such as chronic constipation, diabetes, gastrointestinal surgery, cirrhosis, stroke, and irritable bowel disease (IBD).

What Are Some Risk Factors for Cerebral Palsy?
Discussion The term, cerebral palsy, or CP has gone through many iterations with the first description in 1861 by W.J. Little who described it as “The condition of spastic rigidity of the limbs of newborn children.” The most recent definition is from Rosenbaun et al. in 2007 which states it is “a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cog...

Gut microbiota and stroke
Benjamin Y. Q. Tan, Prakash R Paliwal, Vijay K SharmaAnnals of Indian Academy of Neurology 2020 23(2):155-158 Ischemic stroke remains a significant health problem, which is expected to increase owing to an aging population. A considerable proportion of stroke patients suffer from gastrointestinal complications, including dysphagia, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and constipation. Often, these complications adversely affect stroke outcomes. Recent research postulates the role of “brain-gut axis” in causing gut microbiota dysbiosis and various complications and outcomes. In this review, we present ou...

Efficacy of trazodone for treating paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity presenting after thalamic hemorrhage: A case report.
Authors: Morinaga Y, Nii K, Sakamoto K, Inoue R, Mitsutake T, Hanada H Abstract Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a clinical condition characterized by abnormal paroxysmal surges in sympathetic nervous system activity. PSH is known to occur after severe head injury and hypoxic encephalopathy. Cases of PSH that develop after stroke have been reported worldwide; however, PSH is not commonly reported in the field of stroke research in Japan. Some studies have suggested that gabapentin may improve the symptoms of PSH. To our knowledge, this is the first case report demonstrating the efficacy of trazodone fo...
