Early intranasal medication administration in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Two randomized simulation trials.
J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open
February 2024
Objective: Intranasal medications have been proposed as adjuncts to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) care. We sought to quantify the effects of intranasal medication administration (INMA) in OHCA workflows.
Methods: We conducted separate randomized OHCA simulation trials with lay rescuers (LRs) and first responders (FRs).
Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSVE) is a rare post-operative infection that can be fatal if treatment is delayed. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a more common cause of encephalitis than herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), however, a significant overlap exists. The goal of this project was to understand the frequency and trend of HSVE after neurosurgery through a case series at our institution and in the literature with a focus on comparing HSV-1 versus HSV-2.

- A retrospective study evaluated adenoma detection rates (ADR) and sessile serrated polyp detection rates (SSPDR) during surveillance colonoscopies at an academic center, finding that 49% had adenomas and 8% had SSPs.
- Factors influencing higher ADR included older age, male gender, higher BMI, longer withdrawal times, and experienced endoscopists, while years since training were linked to lower ADR.
- SSPDR was higher in patients with a family history of colorectal cancer, and lower in African-American patients and those with diabetes, indicating the need for further research before using these rates as quality metrics.
