Lessons of the month 2: Olanzapine-induced hypothermia and hand oedema.

Introduction: We describe a case of olanzapine-induced hypothermia and hand oedema in an older adult with behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD).

Case Presentation: An 82-year-old woman with hypothyroidism and dementia was reviewed by the geriatric team at a nursing home in view of lethargy and an unrecordable oral temperature. She was noted to have a bilateral hand oedema and right basal crackles.

Primary high-grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the glans penis.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the penis is a rare haematological malignancy, with less than 30 cases being reported in the literature. Our case mentions a 57-year-old man who presented with a penile lesion that was diagnosed as DLBCL on histological biopsy. Targeted investigation and proper diagnosis are essential to distinguish it from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the glans, which presents similarly.

Kinetics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels and potential influential factors in subjects with COVID-19: A 11-month follow-up study.

We aim to study kinetics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody levels in subjects with COVID-19 for up to 11 months and the potential influential factors. The study was a prospective longitudinal study. The analyses were based on 77 serum/plasma samples with a mean of 4 samples per participant (range 1 - 18) in 20 participants with at least one positive Polymerase Chain Reaction testing result from 19 March 2020 up to 10 February 2021.

Comparing the consistency of electrocardiogram interval measurements by resting ECG versus 12-lead Holter.

In clinical trials, traditionally only a limited number of 12-lead resting electrocardiograms (ECGs) can be recorded and, thus, long intervals may elapse between assessment timepoints and valuable information may be missed during times when patients' cardiac electrical activity is not being monitored. These limitations have led to the increasing use of Holter recorders which provide continuous data registrations while reducing the burden on patients and freeing up time for clinical trial staff to perform other tasks. However, there is a shortage of data comparing the two approaches.
