Around the world, obesity and diabetes are on the rise. Since 1980, rates of obesity and of diagnosed diabetes have doubled, with particularly sharp increases in low and middle-income populations. In one recent year, an estimated 1.5 million people died from diabetes, and millions more suffer from heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and lower-limb amputation.

The Health And Beauty Benefits Of Green Vegetables
For Allure, by Ramona Emerson.
The other day, my mother asked if we should have waffles for breakfast, and my response shocked even me: “What if we had a salad?” In the weeks since Allure asked me to write about leafy greens, I’ve changed. Once a kale agnostic, I’m now a Devout Kale Orthodox. The kind of person who eats spinach for breakfast and offers unsolicited advice to strangers in line at the salad bar: “You know, romaine is actually healthier than arugula.” (I know, spoiler alert. Just sit tight for a minute.)
All the Good They’re Doing
The more I learned about leafy greens...

Early Clinical Improvement in Central Retinal Artery Occlusion is Associated with Central Retinal Artery Recanalization (P4.262)
Conclusions:In our case series, no patient without early recanalization of the CRA had ECI. Further studies are merited to determine the impact of CRA recanalization timing and, furthermore, whether fibrinolytic therapy is associated with improved CRA recanalization rates and long-term visual acuity in CRAO patients.Disclosure: Dr. Alkuwaiti has nothing to disclose.

Facial Danger Zones: Techniques to Maximize Safety during Soft-Tissue Filler Injections
Summary: Given the short recovery and immediate results, facial fillers have become a popular alternative to surgical rejuvenation of the face. Reported complications arising from facial filler injections include erythema, tissue loss, blindness, stroke, and even death. In this article, the authors describe their anatomically based techniques to minimize risk and maximize safety when injecting in the facial danger zones, including the glabella/brow, temporal region, perioral region, nasolabial fold, nose, and infraorbital region. Complications generally arise secondary to vasculature injury and/or cannulation with filler. ...

Little Black Boxes: Noncardiac Implantable Electronic Medical Devices and Their Anesthetic and Surgical Implications.
Abstract
Implanted electronic medical devices. or stimulators such as pacemakers and nerve stimulators have grown enormously in diversity and complexity over recent decades. The function and potential interaction of these devices with the perioperative environment is of increasing concern for anesthesiologists and surgeons. Because of the innate electromagnetic environment of the hospital (operating room, gastrointestinal procedure suite, and imaging suite), implanted device malfunction, reprogramming, or destruction may occur and cause physical harm (including nerve injury, blindness, deafness, burn, stroke, para...

Surgeon ’s Guide to Facial Soft Tissue Filler Injections: Relevant Anatomy and Safety Considerations
The purpose of this study is to provide a review of the relevant facial anatomy related to soft tissue filler injections. Facial fillers are used daily in our clinical practice. Although safe and predictable, adverse events do occur. Some of these dire events include vascular complications leading to blindness, ischemia, and even stroke. Proper knowledge and understanding of the anatomic landmarks can minimize the risk of these vascular events. Additionally, early recognition and treatment are necessary in order to prevent permanent complications.

P 164 Parietal stroke mimicking the Heidenhain variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease
The Heidenhain variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disease with an occipito-parietal focus.It initially presents with visual disturbances such as visual agnosia or cortical blindness (Kropp et al., 1999).After presentation of early visual symptoms, rapid progression of dementia and death follows.While the Heidenhain variant matches neuropathological criteria of CJD, differential diagnosis from other neurological disorders using biomarkers from electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reveal low sensitivity and specificity...

Embolization for the treatment of intractable epistaxis: 12 month outcomes in a two centre case series.
CONCLUSION: Embolization for epistaxis is safe and effective. Of those who had recurrent epistaxis post embolization, most were taking P2Y12 inhibition and/or anticoagulation. We prefer bilateral distal internal maxillary artery and unilateral facial artery embolization under general anesthesia for optimal safety and efficacy. Advances in knowledge: Embolization with this technique seems to facilitate superior outcomes without complications despite the large proportion of patients taking anticoagulating or P2Y12 inhibiting agents.

Nivolumab-induced posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
A 47-year-old woman with metastatic, poorly differentiated lung cancer with neuroendocrine features was brought to the hospital after 4 days of nausea, vomiting, disorientation, and 1 generalized tonic clonic seizure. On examination, her blood pressure was 148/95 mm Hg, heart rate 95 bpm, and temperature 36.4°C. She was encephalopathic and had cortical blindness. She had no history of seizures or visual impairment. MRI brain without contrast showed changes consistent with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES; figure, A). She had been on nivolumab, of which she had received 2 doses; the last dose was 24 da...
