Unusual Presentation of Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning (P6.024)
CONCLUSIONCO poisoning should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients found to have isolated bilateral thalamic involvement. MR imaging undertaken in acute setting aids in management and prognosis. Follow-up is required to assess for the development of Delayed Neuropsychiatric Syndrome, which can cause changes in personality, memory and gait.Disclosure: Dr. Bains has nothing to disclose.

Rehabilitation Improves Behavioral Recovery and Lessens Cell Death Without Affecting Iron, Ferritin, Transferrin, or Inflammation After Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rats
Conclusions. Rehabilitation is an effective behavioral and neuroprotective strategy for ICH. Neither effect appears to stem from influencing iron toxicity or inflammation. Thus, additional work must identify underlying mechanisms to help further therapeutic gains.

Effect of muscle metaboreflex activation on central hemodynamics and cardiac function in humans
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Volume 0, Issue 0, Page 1-10, e-First articles. We sought to determine how the mode of muscle metaboreflex activation influences the central hemodynamic response and cardiac inotropic and lusotropic function in healthy humans. Ten healthy males performed (i) isometric handgrip (IHG) with and without post-exercise ischemia (PEI) to examine the influence of isolated muscle metaboreflex activation and (ii) rhythmic handgrip (RHG) with and without ischemia to examine the influence of enhanced muscle metaboreflex activation. Heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) were contin...

Improving anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation: observational study in three primary care trusts.
CONCLUSIONS: The APEL programme supports improvement in clinical managing AF by a combined programme of education around agreed guidance, computer aids to facilitate decision-making and patient review and feedback of locally identifiable results. If replicated nationally over 3 years, such a programme could result in approximately 1600 fewer strokes every year. PMID: 24771841 [PubMed - in process]

What's hot that the other lot got
Fibrinolysis for patients with intermediate-risk PE The use of fibrinolysis for normotensive patients with an intermediate risk of death after acute pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a controversial topic. The PIETHO trial (N Engl J Med 2014;370:1402–11) was a multicentre, double-blind trial, in which 1006 patients with acute PE and evidence of right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography or CT, as well as positive cardiac troponin test, were randomly assigned to initial treatment with tenecteplase plus heparin, or placebo plus heparin. The primary outcome of death or haemodynamic compromise within 7 days of rando...

Representation of Health Conditions on Facebook: Content Analysis and Evaluation of User Engagement
Conclusions: This research represents the first attempts to comprehensively describe publicly available health content and user engagement with health conditions on Facebook pages. Public health interventions using Facebook will need to be designed to ensure relevant information is easy to find and with an understanding that stigma associated with some health conditions may limit the users’ engagement with Facebook pages. This line of research merits further investigation as Facebook and other SNS continue to evolve over the coming years.
