Intralipid therapy does not improve level of consciousness in overdoses with sedating drugs: A case series. Downes MA et al. Emerg Med Australas 2014 May 8. doi: 10.1111/1742-6723.12237. [Epub ahead of print]
Abstract
Frankly, I disliked everything about this paper. The authors did a retrospective chart review of patients at their institution who were given intralipid emulsion therapy (ILE) after presenting with a sedative drug overdose. Their goal was to determine if ILE improved the patients’ level of consciousness.
Why did I hate this study? Let me count the ways:

New Antipsychotic Drug Latuda Better for Your Weight
Latuda, a fairly new antipsychotic, has been shown to be effective in treating schizophrenia and has now been approved for use in bipolar depression. The three other atypical antipsychotics - Seroquel, Zyprexa and Symbyax - that are already approved for bipolar depression all have problems with side effects - particularly on weight gain and the related metabolic issues of increased blood glucose and elevated cholesterol and triglycerides.

Methylene blue and poison-induced hypotension
3 out of 5 stars
Methylene blue used in the treatment of refractory shock resulting from drug poisoning. Fisher J et al. Clin Toxicol 2014 Jan;52:63-65
Abstract
Refractory shock in drug overdose results mainly from myocardial depression and/or vasodilatation. Bedside echocardiography can be very helpful in sorting out these two mechanisms, each of which might require somewhat different therapy.
The best example of this is calcium channel blocker overdose. With myocardial depression, high-dose insulin/euglycemic therapy (HIT) should be considered early on. However, HIT would not be expected to produce significant vasoco...

Some Ideas for Handling Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder is being better understood each day. There is also ongoing research into its treatment.
But successfully treating bipolar disorder can involve several medication trials, and it can take years to achieve remission. Even if remission is attained, recurrence is the rule — not the exception. It’s not uncommon for all first-line treatments to be exhausted.
People in this situation may be considered by mental health professionals to be treatment-resistant. Luckily, there are treatments that can be tried when first-line, and even second-line, treatments for bipolar disorder fail.
