Prevalence of COVID-19 Mimics in the Emergency Department
Conclusion Several potentially fatal diseases remain masked among the wave of COVID-19 mimics. It is imperative that a thorough differential diagnostic panel be considered prior to the rendering of a COVID-19 diagnosis.PMID:34334560 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.6434-20

The Case For Sauna Bathing Is Stronger Than Ever
A new research review has plenty of good news for people who love a good sauna session: Studies overwhelmingly suggest that the relaxing habit is also a healthy one. A paper published Wednesday in Mayo Clinic Proceedings gathered existing findings on Finnish sauna bathing, the practice of spending time in relatively dry rooms heated to between 80 and 100 degrees, interspersed with periods of cooling. The results were culled from more than 70 studies published up through February 2018. Overall, the research suggests that “sauna bathing, an activity used for the purposes of pleasure, wellness, and relaxation, is linked...

Safety and efficacy of incobotulinumtoxinA doses up to 800 U in limb spasticity: The TOWER study
Conclusion: Escalating incobotulinumtoxinA doses (400 U up to 800 U) did not compromise safety or tolerability, enabled treatment in a greater number of muscles/spasticity patterns, and was associated with increased treatment efficacy, improved muscle tone, and goal attainment. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01603459. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class IV evidence that, for patients with limb spasticity, escalating incobotulinumtoxinA doses (400 U up to 800 U) increases treatment efficacy without compromising safety or tolerability.

Intensive speech and language therapy in patients with chronic aphasia after stroke: a randomised, open-label, blinded-endpoint, controlled trial in a health-care setting
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01540383. Results We randomly assigned 158 patients between April 1, 2012, and May 31, 2014. The modified intention-to-treat population comprised 156 patients (78 per group). Verbal communication was significantly improved from baseline to after intensive speech and language treatment (mean difference 2·61 points [SD 4·94]; 95% CI 1·49 to 3·72), but not from baseline to after treatment deferral (−0·03 points [4·04]; −0·94 to 0·88; between-group difference Cohen's d 0·58; p=0·0004). Eight patients had adverse events during therapy or treatment deferra...

Turmeric: Nature ’s Miracle Root for Disease
My friends Lelir and Westi in Bali don’t like to go to doctors. Nature is their pharmacy. You see, Lelir is a Balian. That means “herbal healer.” And Westi’s plantation is bursting with healing plants.  But one plant stands out above all the others. Lelir uses it to make a daily immune-boosting elixir as well as an anti-aging facial scrub. Balians use it as an antibiotic and for liver support. They boil it with milk and sugar to treat the common cold and allergies. Rural doctors make it into a paste with lime to ease sore joints. They make drinks to treat fevers and stomach pain. They mix it wi...

Probable Nootropic-induced Psychiatric Adverse Effects: A Series of Four Cases
Conclusion Healthcare providers in general, and specifically those in the mental health and substance abuse fields, should keep in mind that nootropic use is an under recognized and evolving problem. Nootropic use should be considered in cases where there are sudden or unexplained exacerbations of psychiatric symptoms in patients who have been stable and medication adherent. It is also important to remember that most nootropics are not detected on standard drug toxicology screening tests. We have very little clinical information on how nootropics may interact with psychotropics (or other medications) and potentially cause ...

A common cold is no stroke of luck: Risk for cerebral ischemia in children
Chronic and acute (minor) infections or inflammatory conditions are associated with an increased risk for cerebral ischemic stroke in adults.1–3 Stroke etiology is different in children, is probably multifactorial, and may be elusive. Minor infections are common in children and lead to similar systemic and especially prothrombotic changes as in adults. Because conventional vascular risk factors are less prevalent in children, inflammatory conditions may be more relevant contributors to stroke risk in children. However, data on the association of inflammation and pediatric stroke are scarce. In this issue of Neurology...

Intracerebral Hemorrhage Associated with Oral Phenylephrine Use: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Conclusions: It is scientifically plausible that phenylephrine may cause strokes, consistent with the pharmacologic properties and adverse event profiles of similar amphetamine-like sympathomimetics. As RCVS has been well described in association with over-the-counter sympathomimetics, a likely, although not definitive, causal relationship between phenylephrine and ICH is proposed.

Intracerebral Hemorrhage Associated with Oral Phenylephrine Use (P5.138)
CONCLUSION: It is scientifically plausible that Phe may cause strokes given that it is consistent with the pharmacological properties and adverse event profiles of similar amphetamine-like sympathomimetics. As RCVS has been well-described in association with over the counter sympathomimetics, these lines of evidence support a likely, although not definitive, causal relationship between Phe and ICH.Disclosure: Dr. Tark has nothing to disclose.

Evaluation of Misdiagnosed Cases of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage and Causal Factors for Misdiagnosis
Conclusions: Type 1 cases were mild, and diagnosis required detailed medical history analyses. Type 2 cases were severe and were diagnosed based on electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes characteristic of SAH. Symptoms of type 3 cases included vomiting, and diagnosis required recognition of meningeal irritation syndrome and detailed medical history analyses.
