Managing Collapsed or Seriously Ill Participants of Ultra-Endurance Events in Remote Environments
Abstract Increasing participation in ultramarathons and other ultra-endurance events amplifies the potential for serious medical issues during and immediately following these competitions. Since these events are often located in remote settings where access may be extremely limited; the diagnostic capabilities, treatment options, and expectations of medical care may differ from those of urban events. This work outlines a process for assessment and treatment of athletes presenting for medical attention in remote environments, with a focus on potentially serious conditions such as major trauma, acute coronary syndro...

Safety of diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis and inactivated poliovirus (DTaP-IPV) vaccine.
CONCLUSIONS: In this safety surveillance study of more than 200,000 DTaP-IPV vaccine recipients, there was no evidence of increased risk for any of the pre-specified adverse events monitored. Continued surveillance of DTaP-IPV vaccine safety may be warranted to monitor for rare adverse events, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome. PMID: 24699471 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

PROspective Multicenter Imaging Study for Evaluation of chest pain: Rationale and design of the PROMISE trial
Conclusion: Multispecialty community practice enrollment into a large pragmatic trial of diagnostic testing strategies is both feasible and efficient. The PROMISE trial will compare the clinical effectiveness of an initial strategy of functional testing against an initial strategy of anatomical testing in symptomatic patients with suspected CAD. Quality of life, resource use, cost-effectiveness, and radiation exposure will be assessed.

Ischemic stroke: A rare complication of liver hydatid cyst.
We report the case of a 39-year-old patient who was admitted in our intensive care unit because of anaphylactic shock due to a cracked HCL fortuitously discovered. This accident was also complicated by an ischemic stroke witch underline mechanisms are discussed. PMID: 24075197 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Orolingual Angioedema with Alteplase Administration for Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
A 68-year-old African-American male with a history of hypertension and gout (on lisinopril for approximately 1 year) presented to the Emergency Department with 2.5 h of left-arm weakness and numbness. Of note, the patient was in newly discovered rapid atrial fibrillation and, in light of persistent neurologic deficits (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 16→7) within 4.5 h, the decision was made to administer i.v. tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for treatment of presumed embolic right middle cerebral artery stroke. Approximately 30 min post infusion, the patient developed severe diffuse orolingual angioedema of...

Summary: International Kidney Cancer Symposium
Conclusions:  Ideal ischemia time is 20-25 minutes or less improves short and long term renal function.  >25 minutes carried 5 year risk of new onset stage 4 CKD No differences on GFR for cold vs. warm ischemia times Preoperative GFR and the percent of kidney preserved was a better predictor of post op GFR.  No ischemia preserves renal function better than warm. Longer cold ischemia times were equivalent to shorter warm ischemia times. Quality and quantity of the remaining kidney is associated with ultimate renal function.
