The availability of potent combination antiretroviral therapy has changed the long-term prognosis for people living with HIV/AIDS. There is increasing concern, however, about the effect of HIV therapy on lipid disorders and subsequent development of coronary artery disease. Virtually all classes of antiretroviral drugs have been associated with some aspect of atherogenic changes in the lipid profiles. This article reviews the current literature on HIV-associated dyslipidemias and the metabolic syndrome, their potential effect on future coronary heart disease, and reviews strategies for management.

Sunset Sign Due to Intraventricular Tension Pneumocephalus: A Key Clue to Evaluating Delayed Emergence After General Anesthesia.
Cureus
November 2024
Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, USA.
Prompt emergence from general anesthesia is crucial after neurosurgical procedures, such as craniotomies, to facilitate timely neurological evaluation for identification of intraoperative complications. Delayed emergence can be caused by residual anesthetics, metabolic imbalances, and intracranial pathology, for which an eye examination can provide early diagnostic clues. The sunset sign (or setting sun sign), characterized by a downward deviation of the eyes, can be an early indicator of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) or midbrain compression, as is commonly observed in states of hydrocephalus or periaqueductal or tectal plate dysfunction.
