Background: There is a well-documented relationship between epilepsy and celiac disease, including a syndrome characterized by epilepsy, occipital calcifications, and celiac disease.
Review Summary: We report the case of a 23-year-old woman with an 11-year history of refractory epileptic seizures and newly diagnosed biopsy-proven celiac disease with increased antiendomysium immunoglobulin A antibodies. The patient showed a dramatic improvement after starting a gluten-free diet.
Background: The subject of the best vasopressor for hemodynamic management of septic shock (SS) is controversial. One of the difficulties in planning such studies is that physicians are reluctant to use one vasopressor exclusively, and there is considerable variation in practice. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of implementing a single pressor-based algorithm (in this case, norepinephrine [NE]).

Introduction: The choice of the best vasopressor for haemodynamic management of septic shock is controversial. Nevertheless, very few studies have been focused on evaluating different management algorithms.
