Pure OCD: a rude awakening
You mentally undress your friends, Tony Blair, the lollipop lady. Your thoughts are X-rated. You wonder if you're a paedophile – or just losing your mind. A sufferer describes the nightmare – and dark comedy – of living with pure OCDOn a spring night when I was 15 the mental image of a naked child entered my head and the corners of my world folded in. I put down my cutlery. My throat was closing over. Dad sat across from me, 10,000 miles away, and Mum was hunting draughts at the window.Stoned and smiling, my brother sat next to me, resting his elbows on teenage knees too high for the table. He looked sidelong at Mum ...

Managing Bleeding in Anticoagulated Patients in the Emergency Care Setting
Conclusions: The introduction of alternative oral anticoagulants will require emergency procedures that differ in some respects from those currently in place for warfarin and it will be necessary for Emergency Medicine professionals to become familiar with these procedures. Clinical stabilization of the bleeding or at-risk patient remains the emergency physician’s priority.

Patient with acute renal injury presenting dabigatran overdose: Hemodialysis for surgery.
We report a case of an 80-year-old man presenting hemorrhage with dabigatran overdose caused by obstructive acute renal failure. Before nephrostomy, several hemodialysis sessions were necessary to remove dabigatran probably because of its large volume of distribution.

The Effect of Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Opener Spermine on Diazoxide against Focal Cerebral Ischemia—Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Conclusions: Our results suggested that diazoxide, which improved neurological deficits and decreased infarct volume and oxidative stress against ischemia–reperfusion injury, is mediated by spermine.

Re-evaluating Brain Death: The Potential for Treatment and Recovery after Brain Injury (P4.285)
Conclusions: Treatment-induced reversal of BD was evidenced by functional recovery across several domains. ACP neuromodulation optimizes cerebral functioning: electrical stimulation increases metabolic coupling; nutraceuticals promote healing, repair and neurotransmitter production while attenuating inflammatory cascades and free-radical damage. BD may not be definitively irreversible and deserves therapeutic consideration.Disclosure: Dr. Defina has nothing to disclose. Dr. Zakrzewski has nothing to disclose.

Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter Opener Spermine Attenuates the Cerebral Protection of Diazoxide through Apoptosis in Rats
Conclusions: Results in our study suggested that diazoxide improved neurologic deficits, decreased infarct volume in cortex but not in subcortex, and apoptosis in cortex against ischemia/reperfusion injury is mediated by spermine.

Impaired renal function and bleeding in elderly treated with dabigatran
Advantages of dabigatran, a thrombin inhibitor, for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation are numerous. Elderly patients with impaired renal function are at high risk of bleeding. Recommendations about the renal monitoring in elderly patients are not precise enough. The hemoclot direct thrombin inhibitor (HTI) assay measures accurately the dabigatran activity. Both could help managing serious bleeding events in selected populations. Four elderly patients recently treated with appropriate doses of dabigatran were hospitalized for major bleeding. Three patients were very elderly (> 80 years) and three had im...
