Deep venous thrombosis and hyponatremia associated with citalopram use for behavioral symptoms in Parkinson's disease: a case report.

Background: Evidence is limited regarding the optimal therapeutic approach for neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used for mood disorders and behavioral symptoms in older adults with cognitive impairment, but they have limited efficacy in patients with PDD. The effect of SSRIs on hemostasis is also unclear.

Dementia and Adherence to Anti-Diabetic Medications: A Meta-Analysis.

Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) and dementia (DN) are common morbid disorders with high mortality, the two disorders shared the pathogenesis of proinflammation and insulin resistance. Polypharmacy is expected when DM and DN co-exist and medication adherence is essential to an effective self-care and management plan. This meta-analysis aimed to assess medication persistence among patients with diabetes and cognitive impairment (CogImp).

Placental Characteristics of Fetuses With Congenital Heart Disease.

Objectives: To investigate whether there is an association between congenital heart disease (CHD) and placental abnormalities.

Methods: We conducted a case-control study that included cases of infants with CHD who underwent cardiac surgery within 6 months of life at the Johns Hopkins Medical Center from 2000 to 2013, and gestational age-matched normal pregnancy controls (200 neonates per group).

Results: Overall, abnormal placental cord insertion (ie, eccentric, marginal, or velamentous) was associated with CHD (odds ratio, 2.
