A 21-year-old female presented excitement, auditory hallucination, monologue, and insomnia. After 1 week of risperidone administration, she showed hyperthermia, salivation, and muscle rigidity. Risperidone was discontinued, but stupor, convulsions, and respiratory distress developed. In the intensive care unit where she was transferred, catatonic symptoms such as stupor or excitement, catalepsy, and negativism were prominent. In addition, severe bronchorrhea causing respiratory failure was observed. Her catatonic symptoms, hyperthermia, and bronchorrhea resolved by ECT. After recovery, affective flattening, alogia, and avolition remained. The final diagnosis was MC associated with schizophrenia. This report suggests that MC may be complicated by severe bronchorrhea, but this condition responds to ECT.

Cellular responses following ex vivo lung exposure to the nerve agent VX - Potential for additional treatment targets?
Chem Biol Interact
November 2024
Swedish Defence Research Agency, CBRN Defence and Security, Umeå, Sweden. Electronic address:
Following inhalation exposure to organophosphorus nerve agents, symptoms rapidly develop and severe respiratory symptoms, such as bronchorrhea and bronchoconstriction are the leading causes of lethality. Nerve agent-induced lung injury is little investigated and the standard treatment for symptomatic relief targets the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and muscarinic acetylcholine and GABAergic receptors. In the present study, cellular responses in lung tissue during the acute (40 min) and extended phase (24 h) following severe exposure to the nerve agent VX have been investigated using an ex vivo rat precision-cut lung slice model including electrostimulation to induce a cholinergic response.

Introduction And Importance: Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is a common and potentially fatal condition that requires prompt and aggressive treatment with atropine, oximes, and supportive care. We report a rare case of OP poisoning that needed high doses of atropine and intensive care for 60 days.
Case Presentation: A 39-year-old male ingested 200 ml of chlorpyrifos, an OP compound, and presented with vomiting and epigastric pain.

Background: Lung invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (LIMA), formerly referred to as mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, is a rare disease that usually presents as bilateral lung infiltration, is unsuitable for surgery and radiotherapy, and shows poor response to conventional chemotherapy.
Case Summary: We report a 56-year-old Chinese man with a history of smoking and epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positivity who was initially misdiagnosed as severe pneumonia, but was ultimately diagnosed as a case of invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung by computed tomography -guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Bronchorrhea and dyspnea were improved within 24 h after initiation of gefitinib therapy and the radiographic signs of bilateral lung consolidation showed visible improvement within 30 d.
The Spectrum of Airway Involvement in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic Arizona, 13400 East Shea Boulevard, Scottsdale, AZ 85259, USA. Electronic address:
Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with a wide spectrum of central, large, and small airway abnormalities, including bronchiectasis. The bronchiectasis associated with inflammatory bowel disease has a distinct phenotype, with marked inflammation and at times severe sterile bronchorrhea that can be responsive to inhaled corticosteroids.
