Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the necessity of medical interventions for patients with acute alcohol or illicit substance intoxication who present to the emergency department (ED) instead of being treated at outpatient detox centers.
- Data was collected from 2,685 ED encounters, showing that 56% of patients needed at least one medical intervention that could not be provided by a detox facility, including medications, physical restraints, and diagnostic tests.
- Findings indicated a significant portion of patients (36%) received sedatives and 34% required physical restraints, highlighting the complexity of their medical needs during intoxication.
Background: Having depression and living in a rural environment have separately been associated with poor diabetes outcomes, but there little is known about the interaction between the 2 risk factors. This study investigates the association of depression and rurality with glycemic control in adults, as well as their interaction.
Methods: This is a repeated cross-sectional study with data collected from 2010 to 2017 (n = 1,697,173 patient-year observations), comprising a near-complete census of patients with diabetes in Minnesota.
Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a novel and emerging biomarker for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). It has been demonstrated that total circulating EVs and hepatocyte-derived EVs are elevated in male mice with diet-induced NASH. How hepatocyte-derived EVs change over time and other cellular sources of EVs in NASH have not been determined.
