Aims: Studies show that people with severe mental illness (SMI) have a greater risk of dying from colorectal cancer (CRC). These studies mostly predate the introduction of national bowel cancer screening programmes (NBCSPs) and it is unknown if these have reduced disparity in CRC-related mortality for people with SMI.

Methods: We compared mortality rates following CRC diagnosis at colonoscopy between a nationally representative sample of people with and without SMI who participated in Australia's NBCSP.

Article Synopsis
  • Older adults with bipolar disorder (OABD) face unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment, particularly in outpatient settings.
  • Mood episodes in OABD are similar in frequency and severity to those in younger adults, with depression being more common and mixed symptoms frequent.
  • Effective treatment may involve using lower doses of lithium over other medications, and clinicians should focus on managing medical comorbidities and reducing the number of medications prescribed.

Lithium exposure reduces melanoma incidence and mortality, yet its therapeutic mechanisms are unclear. This study explores the effects of lithium on ferroptosis sensitivity and anti-tumor T cell response in melanoma. We found that lithium significantly enhanced RSL3-induced ferroptosis in vitro, evidenced by increased mitochondrial peroxide, lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial abnormalities.

Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is a condition with serious mortality and morbidity rate, resistant to benzodiazepine and second-line antiepileptic drugs. This study aimed to electrophysiologically investigate the combination of NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine and GABAergic agent propofol in an RSE model induced by lithium-pilocarpine in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into nine groups.

Article Synopsis
  • Hypernatremia is a common and serious condition in ICU patients, linked to higher mortality and longer stays, prompting this study to compare sodium chloride 0.9% and glucose 5% solutions as intravenous drug diluents.
  • The study analyzed 265 adult COVID-19 patients, observing sodium levels and severe hypernatremia over the first 8 days after ICU admission, finding that glucose 5% led to lower sodium levels and reduced occurrences of severe hypernatremia.
  • The results suggest that switching to glucose 5% as the standard diluent can help prevent hypernatremia in ICU patients, indicating a potentially simple change in treatment protocols.
