CEFALIUM-INDUCED BILATERAL TRANSIENT MYOPIA, RETINAL FOLDS, AND FOCAL CHOROIDAL DELAY.

Purpose: To describe a case of acute bilateral transient myopia, retinal folds, and island of choroidal delay associated with oral administration of Cefalium, a medication commonly prescribed in Brazil for migraine that combines acetaminophen 500 mg, caffeine 40 mg, dihydroergotamine mesylate 1 mg, and metoclopramide hydrochloride 10 mg.

Methods: A 21-year-old woman with bilateral blurred vision 1 day after the use of Cefalium. The main outcomes measures were BCVA, ocular fundus, ocular coherence tomography, and angiography findings.

Hidden renal dysfunction causes increased in-hospital mortality risk after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Introduction And Objectives: Preoperative chronic renal dysfunction is an independent predictor of mortality in cardiac surgery. As normal range serum creatinine is not representative of normal renal function, we compared mortality rates, total hospital stay and post-surgical hospital stay for patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass surgery with serum creatinine < 1.5mg/dL as to their estimated creatinine clearance, normal or impaired.
