How To Avoid China ’ s Medicine Monopoly
I want to share a shocking statistic with you… Around 80% of all the pharmaceuticals sold in America — both prescription and over-the-counter — are manufactured in China. I’m talking about drugs for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, blood pressure and blood thinners, diuretics, aspirin, antibiotics, and a big chunk of the world’s insulin and diabetes drugs — just to name a few.1 We don’t even make penicillin anymore. The last penicillin plant in the U.S. closed its doors in 2004. Americans who rely on medicine are now almost entirely at the mercy of a country whose relations with the U.S. have become more ...

Neurosyphilis with positive anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibody: a case report
A case of neurosyphilis with a positive anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibody was reported. A 54-year-old man who presented with acute memory deficits was admitted to our hospital. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was initially considered, and he was prescribed intravenous thrombolysis with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA). However, the intermittent onset of episodic memory and orientation disorder still occurred. No diffusion restriction was indicated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and subclinical seizures were frequently found by electroencephalogram (EEG). Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) te...

Acute stroke during penicillin desensitization due to jarisch herxheimer
Jarisch Herxheimer reaction (JHR) is a transient episode seen within 24 hours of treatment with antibiotics in patients infected by spirochetes. Although seen in 95% of patients, it occurs rarely in late or latent syphilis. The severity depends on the spirochete load.

Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid-associated severe neutropenia
A 72-year-old man presented with an abnormal blood count and was admitted. His history included hypertension and hyperlipidaemia with an old myocardial infarction and mild stroke; liver cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with hypersplenism and oesophageal varices but no ascites, oedema or bleeding; and benign prostatic hypertrophy. His medications (unchanged for years) included furosemide, spironolactone, bisoprolol, rosuvastatin, alfuzosin and omeprazole. Two weeks prior, he was discharged from our department after left leg cellulitis and Streptococcus pyogenes bacteraemia responsive to parenteral clind...

Cerebral venous thrombosis revealing neurosyphilis
CONCLUSION: Cerebral venous thrombosis in neurosyphilis is a poorly described entity. This case report confirms the status of great simulator of syphilis. In the context of its worldwide recrudescence, syphilis must be evoked in front of an unexplained neurological disorder.PMID:34863597 | DOI:10.1016/j.revmed.2021.11.001

Mortality and Causes of Death From Sickle Cell Disease in The Netherlands, 1985-2017
In the Netherlands, between 1985 and 2007 secular changes in the health care of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) have taken place, such as penicillin prophylaxis, vaccination programs and stroke prevention. We investigated the number and causes of death in a cohort of 298 SCD patients, established in 2007, before introduction of neonatal screening, to determine preventable deaths. All patients were diagnosed with SCD before the age of 18 (median age at diagnosis 5.1 y). Their vital status was determined up to January 2017. After a total follow-up period of 4565 patient years and a median time of follow-up of 15 ye...

Systematic Review/Meta-Analysis on Efficacy of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Sickle Cell Disease: An International Effort on Behalf of the Pediatric Diseases Working Party of European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation and the Sickle Cell Transplantation International Consortium
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited hemoglobinopathy, affecting nearly 100,000 individuals in the United States and approximately 300,000 worldwide, with low-income countries bearing the highest burden [1,2]. It is associated with several complications, including debilitating morbidity, organ injury, and shortened life expectancy. Progress in the overall management of SCD has been made in recent years, namely improved health maintenance surveillance programs, penicillin prophylaxis, chronic blood transfusions, vaccines, primary and secondary stroke prophylaxis, use of hydroxyurea, and approval of novel a...
