Acetaminophen and acetaminophen combination products are the most frequent medications involved in intentional and unintentional poisonings. The 2008 National Poison Data System compiled by the American Association of Poison Control Centers documented 98,578 acetaminophen-related poisonings, which includes 91 fatalities. Very few case reports of ingestions of acetaminophen extended release with anticholinergics are reported in the literature.

Unveiling the enigma of spontaneous cervical swelling syndrome: A case report.
Radiol Case Rep
March 2025
Faculty of Medicine, Arab American University of Palestine, Jenin, Palestine.
Spontaneous cervical swelling syndrome is an uncommon clinical syndrome characterized by the sudden onset of swelling in the cervical region with no identifiable cause. A 47-year-old woman with a history of Iron Deficiency Anemia presented to the emergency department (ED) complaining of an acute left neck and upper chest swelling and pressure sensation in her neck. The swelling started suddenly and was growing rapidly over several hours.

Department of Analytical and Applied Chemistry, School of Engineering, IQS-Universitat Ramon Llull, Via Augusta 390, 08017 Barcelona, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the use of Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers (POCIS) as a more effective method for monitoring pharmaceutical residues in wastewater compared to traditional grab sampling.
- POCIS allows for continuous sampling over days or weeks, providing more representative data, though challenges remain in obtaining precise quantitative results due to calibration needs.
- The research successfully identifies and calibrates sampling rates for 49 pharmaceuticals in a wastewater treatment plant near Barcelona, yielding high concentrations of specific compounds, thus establishing a methodology for better environmental monitoring of pharmaceuticals.
The effect of fixed-time interval and on-demand analgesia protocols for post cesarean pain on maternal chronic pain and child development - follow up of randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Post-cesarean delivery (CD) acute pain may progress to chronic pain, which may impair maternal bonding and child development. In 2013, we compared the efficacy of versus on-demand oral analgesia for post-caesarean pain in a randomized-controlled-trial. The fixed-time-interval group had received scheduled paracetamol, tramadol, and diclofenac regardless of pain level, and the on-demand group received medication as needed, with oxycodone reserved for unrelieved pain in both groups.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic nonspecific low back pain (cNLBP) can be treated effectively with electroacupuncture (EA) at both traditional acupoints (TAPs) and myofascial trigger points (MTrPs), although the best stimulation type and frequency (alternated frequency [AF] vs. high frequency [HF]) need further investigation.
- A randomized controlled trial with 160 middle-aged cNLBP patients tested four EA treatment groups: AF and HF applied to both MTrPs and TAPs, measuring pain levels, medication usage, disability scores, and safety over four weeks.
- Results showed that AF was more effective than HF for pain reduction and disability improvements in all groups, particularly benefiting older patients (aged 60
Ferroptosis and Intrinsic Drug-induced Liver Injury by Acetaminophen and Other Drugs: A Critical Evaluation and Historical Perspective.
J Clin Transl Hepatol
December 2024
Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology and Therapeutics, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Drug-induced liver injury is a major global health issue, necessitating a better understanding of cell death mechanisms to find new treatments.
- Reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation were once key areas of research in liver toxicity but shifted focus to apoptosis, until ferroptosis—a new type of cell death—gained attention due to its unique mechanisms involving glutathione depletion.
- This review examines historical evidence for lipid peroxidation's role in liver damage and how it led to recognizing ferroptosis, highlighting that liver's antioxidant defenses generally prevent significant lipid peroxidation unless severely compromised.
