How to Keep Alzheimer ’s From Bringing About the Zombie Apocalypse
I tried to kill my father for years. To be fair, I was following his wishes. He’d made it clear that when he no longer recognized me, when he could no longer talk, when the nurses started treating him like a toddler, he didn’t want to live any longer.
My father was 58 years old when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He took the diagnosis with the self-deprecating humor he’d spent a lifetime cultivating, constantly cracking jokes about how he would one day turn into a zombie, a walking corpse. We had a good 10 years with him after the diagnosis. Eventually, his jokes came true.
Seven years ...

Benefits and risks of oxygen therapy during acute medical illness: Just a matter of dose!
Authors: Allardet-Servent J, Sicard G, Metz V, Chiche L
Abstract
Oxygen therapy is used to reverse hypoxemia since more than a century. Current usage is broader and includes routine oxygen administration despite normoxemia which may result in prolonged periods of hyperoxemia. While systematic oxygen therapy was expected to be of benefit in some ischemic diseases such as stroke or acute myocardial infarction, recent randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have challenged this hypothesis by showing the absence of clinical improvement. Although oxygen is known to be toxic at high inspired oxygen fractions, a recent meta-a...

Preventable Cases of Oral Anticoagulant-Induced Bleeding: Data From the Spontaneous Reporting System
Conclusion: Our findings describe the most reported risk factors for preventability of oral anticoagulant-induced bleedings. These factors may be useful for targeting interventions to improve pharmacovigilance activities in our regional territory and to reduce the burden of medication errors and inappropriate prescription.
Introduction
Oral anticoagulant therapy is widely used for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation, or for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (Raj et al., 1994; Monaco et al., 2017). Oral anticoagulants can be di...

Hemodynamic changes after infusion of intravenous lipid emulsion to treat refractory hypotension caused by glyphosate-surfactant herbicide poisoning: A case report
Rationale:
Glyphosate-surfactant herbicides (GlySH) are non-selective herbicides that are extensively used worldwide. A recent case report on GlySH poisoning suggested successful resuscitation upon using intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) for refractory hypotension. The efficacy of ILE in GlySH poisoning remains unproven due to a lack of randomized controlled trials, and further evidence is required to clarify the mechanism by which ILE may reverse hypotension in GlySH poisoning.
Patient concerns:
A 46-year-old man presented to the emergency department 45 min following ingestion of approximately 200 cc of GlySH. On ...
