Neuro-Psychiatry Diseases Predisposing to Mental Status Changes in Patients with Community-Acquired Pneumonia (P1.313)
Conclusions: This study indicates that MSC is frequent in patients with CAP presenting to hospital emergency departments. The etiology of MSC is diverse, with approximately half of the cases due to neuro-psychiatric conditions. In patients presenting to the emergency department with MSC, a high index of suspicion should be maintained regarding the diagnosis of pneumonia.Disclosure: Dr. Kolikonda has nothing to disclose.

Evaluating coagulation tests in patients with atrial fibrillation using direct oral anticoagulants.
Authors: Chan NC, Bhagirath V, Dale BJ, Eikelboom JW
Abstract
Four direct oral anticoagulants (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) have been shown to be at least as effective and safe as warfarin for the prevention of stroke in atrial fibrillation and the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism. Although they are administered in fixed doses without routine coagulation monitoring, measurement of anticoagulant effect or drug levels may be useful to determine if: anticoagulant effect is present in patients who are bleeding or require an urgent procedure or thrombolysis; levels are within usual on-t...

A differential impact of lithium on endothelium-dependent but not on endothelium-independent vessel relaxation

Doeppner, Jürgen Hescheler, Daniel J. Müller, R. Loch Macdonald, Frauke V. Härtel Lithium is drug for bipolar disorders with a narrow therapeutic window. Lithium was recently reported to prevent stroke and protect vascular endothelium but tends to accumulate particularly in the brain and kidney. Here, adverse effects are common; however mechanisms are still vaguely understood. If lithium could also negative...

Hemopericardium and Cardiac Tamponade in a Patient Treated with Dabigatran Etexilate.
We described a case of a 66 year-old female patient with non-valvular AF receiving dabigatran etexilate 150 mg twice daily for one year who suffered from hemopericardium. Her laboratory tests performed 1 year prior were normal and her admission tests revealed acute renal failure and elevated international normalized ratio (INR) level (4.79). Urgent pericardiocentesis was followed by improved renal functions and normalized INR. Dabigatran etexilate is a new oral anticoagulant that is increasingly used in daily practice. However, life-threatening complications warrant caution. Elevated INR may be related with overdose but th...

How Did He Die?
Was he sick? Was it suicide? Was it a heart attack? Overdose? Did he die instantly? Who found him? Did he have a stroke? Did they try CPR? Who was he with? Did they do an autopsy? Have you read the report? Where was he? What is the cause of death? Is there a history of drugs or alcohol? Do anything of those things matter? Really? Do they matter? He is dead. Another family is grieving. They are making plans to bury their son. I, too, have questions. But I know the answers don't matter. It is not my place to ask those questions. The answers are not for me to know. What matters is that the parents are hurting. They loved thei...

The Indian consensus guidance on stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: An emphasis on practical use of nonvitamin K oral anticoagulants.
Abstract
The last ten years have seen rapid strides in the evolution of nonvitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). For the preparation of this consensus, a comprehensive literature search was performed and data on available trials, subpopulation analyses, and case reports were analyzed. This Indian consensus document intends to provide guidance on selecting the right NOAC for the right patients by formulating expert opinions based on the available trials and Asian/Indian subpopulation analyses of these trials. A section has been dedicated to the curren...

Can You Think Yourself Into A Different Person?
For years she had tried to be the perfect wife and mother but now, divorced, with two sons, having gone through another break-up and in despair about her future, she felt as if she’d failed at it all, and she was tired of it. On 6 June 2007 Debbie Hampton, of Greensboro, North Carolina, took an overdose of more than 90 pills – a combination of ten different prescription drugs, some of which she’d stolen from a neighbor’s bedside cabinet. That afternoon, she’d written a note on her computer: “I’ve screwed up this life so bad that there is no place here for me and nothing I can contr...
