Article Synopsis
- The rise in energy drink consumption has been associated with gastrointestinal issues and there have been reports connecting them to acute pancreatitis.
- This article examines a case where excessive energy drink use triggered chronic pancreatitis pain in an adult male, highlighting the need for awareness about the risks of these beverages.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the safety and effectiveness of ultra-hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation (WBI) in Japanese women with early-stage breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery.
- A total of 28 patients were enrolled, and the interim analysis focused on identifying acute adverse events (AEs) within three months post-treatment.
- Results showed that most AEs were mild, with no severe reactions; only one patient experienced moderate radiation dermatitis, suggesting that the treatment is safe and the study can continue.
Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 10,827 Japanese participants to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and various body measurements, focusing on differences by age and sex.
- Results showed that in older individuals (50+ years), weight had a stronger correlation with BMD compared to body mass index (BMI), while younger age groups showed weak correlations.
- The findings suggest that weight is a key indicator of osteopenia (lower bone density) in older women; however, it may not effectively predict future bone loss across all demographics.
Topical levofloxacin has been used safely, but it can induce life-threatening hypersensitivities. We report a case of anaphylactic shock caused by levofloxacin eye drops during the treatment of a corneal injury, confirmed by a prick test. Reported cases of hypersensitivity to levofloxacin and its racemate ofloxacin eye drops are also summarized.
