Article Synopsis
- This study evaluates the clinical features and outcomes of acute cannabis toxicity versus acute synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist toxicity in European emergency departments from 2013-2020.
- Using data from the European Drug Emergencies Network Plus, researchers analyzed 2,657 cases of cannabis exposure and 503 cases of synthetic cannabinoid exposure to compare their effects.
- The findings indicate that synthetic cannabinoid exposures are linked to more severe neuropsychiatric symptoms, while cannabis exposures are associated with cardiovascular issues.
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between medications with a known risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and proton pump inhibitor (PPI) prescription not according to guidelines.
Methods: An analysis of the records of 592 hospitalised patients aged 65 years or older was undertaken. The number of all medicines, potentially inappropriate medicines according to the EU(7)-PIM list and the Beers Criteria 2019 and medicines with a known risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, was compared in patients with PPI prescription not given based on guidelines and in patients with no PPI prescription.
Caustic poisonings are still associated with many fatalities. Studies focusing on the elderly are rare. The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical outcomes of caustic ingestion injury in elderly and non-elderly adults with regard to gender, intent of exposure, substance ingested, severity of mucosal injury, complications, and mortality.
