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 ...

Imaging methods used in the assessment of environmental disease networks: a brief review for clinicians
ConclusionsEnvironmental epidemiology has revealed that several organs and systems in the human body are targets of air pollutants. Current imaging methods that can assess the deleterious effects of pollutants includes a whole spectrum: radiography, US, CT and MRI. Future studies will help to reveal additional links among environmental disease networks.

Degree of Bystander-Patient Relationship and Prehospital Care for Opioid Overdose.
ConclusionPresence of a proximal bystander during an overdose event is associated with dispatch codes indicative of an overdose and shorter times to naloxone administration compared with those with distal bystanders. These findings offer opportunities for public education and engagement of overdose harm reduction strategies.

Development of a new GC ‐MS/MS method for the determination of metformin in human hair
AbstractDiabetes mellitus is one of the most important public health challenges. Metformin (1,1 ‐dimethylbiguanide) represents the “gold standard” for the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2. Despite its important role in reducing mortality and morbidity in the diabetic population, metformin is associated with an increased risk of stroke. To document exposure to a drug, hair is conside red to be the specimen of choice to complement blood and urine, since it provides historical detail of a subject's chronic exposure to drug(s). Measuring hair concentration of metformin can be important for forensic toxicologists inv...

COVID 19 – Conspiracy or Apocalypse? – Part II
By Daud Khan and Leila Yasmine KhanAMSTERDAM/ROME, Jun 8 2020 (IPS) As the COVID-19 virus spread rapidly around the globe, so did various theories about what caused the pandemic. According to the standard scientific theory, the virus originated in bats; crossed over to humans, probably via another intermediate host; and then spread rapidly across the globe.
While the mainstream scientific theory sufficed for some, a large number of people saw the pandemic as the work of cold-hearted military or industrial strategists. An equally large number of people saw it as some kind of divine or natural retribution for an increasingly...

Development of a new GC –MS/MS method for the determination of metformin in human hair
In this study the authors have developed a GC/MS–MS method for the detection and the quantification of metformin in human hair and have applied it to patients under treatment. Measured concentrations range from 0.3 to 3.8 ng/mg. Me tformin appears to be poorly incorporated into hair, given a daily dose of 1 to 3 g. There is probably a correlation between dose and concentration in dark hair. AbstractDiabetes mellitus is one of the most important public health challenges. Metformin (1,1 ‐dimethylbiguanide) represents the “gold standard” for the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2. Despite its important role in redu...

Emergency Medical Service Workers Battle a Hurricane, and COVID-19, To Bring Health Care To New Orleans
As Hurricane Ida pounded the coast of New Orleans with downpours and 150-mile-per-hour winds on the afternoon of Aug. 29, New Orleans Emergency Medical Services had to reverse course after spending 18 months running around the city at full speed battling COVID-19: staying put. For 13 hours and 41 minutes, as the storm’s worst shook their community, the workers hunkered down at their base, keeping themselves safe to be ready to protect others from whatever came next. However, the deluge of 9-1-1 calls didn’t come to a halt as EMS waited out the storm. So, after EMS workers were given the go-ahead to rush back in...

Paradoxical Cerebral Air Embolism after Cardiac Ablation in Williams-Beuren Syndrome: A Clinico-Pathological Correlation
We describe the abrupt onset of neurological deterioration in a 53-year-old man with Williams-Beuren syndrome, a sporadically occurring genetic disorder caused by chromosomal microdeletion at 7q11.23. The clinical phenotype of Williams-Beuren syndrome is suggested by distinctive elfin facies, limited intellect, unique personality features, growth abnormalities, and endocrinopathies.

Effect of Recombinant Human Brain Natriuretic Peptide on Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Complicated with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Int Heart J. 2022;63(2):312-318. doi: 10.1536/ihj.21-170.ABSTRACTThis paper aims to observe the effect of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) on treatment of acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACMP) complicated with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF).A total of 103 patients with ACMP complicated with HFREF admitted to our department from October 2016 to March 2020 were observed. Patients were divided into control group (50 cases) and experimental group (53 cases). The control group was given diuretic, vasodilator, and digitalis treatment, and the experimental group was supplemented with rhBN...
