Background: Historically, anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents included warfarin and aspirin, respectively. In recent years, numerous novel anticoagulants (eg, direct thrombin inhibitors and factor Xa inhibitors) as well as the adenosine diphosphate receptor antagonists have increased significantly. Little information on the bleeding risk after exploratory ingestion of these agents is available. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the bleeding risk of these agents after an exploratory ingestion in children 6 years or younger.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter poison control center study was conducted on calls between 2005 and 2014. The following agents were included: apixaban, clopidogrel, dabigatran, edoxaban, prasugrel, rivaroxaban, or ticagrelor. Bleeding characteristics and treatment rendered were recorded.
Results: A total of 638 cases were identified. Most cases involved antiplatelet agents. No patient developed any bleeding complication. The administration of charcoal was independent of the amount of drug ingested.
Conclusion: Accidental, exploratory ingestions of these agents seem well tolerated, with no patient developing bleeding complications.

Co-Expression of Tardive Dyskinesia and Drug-Induced Parkinsonism in Rats Chronically Treated With Haloperidol.

Aim: We aimed to create a rat model of drug-induced parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia by chronic administration of haloperidol and examine the expression of direct and indirect pathway markers in the striatum of the model rats.
Methods: We treated 21 rats, 14 with haloperidol decanoate and 7 with placebo. The number of vacuous chewing movements per 2 min was counted, and haloperidol-treated rats were classified into two groups: mild and severe tardive dyskinesia.

: It is unknown whether the negative health effects associated with ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are due to their nutritional composition or to the extent of food processing itself. We evaluated the impact of a test meal composed only of UPF, according to the NOVA classification, compared to a similar meal without UPF in adults with obesity. : This is a parallel, randomized trial.

Background: Stroke ranks as the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability in adults worldwide. While an unhealthy diet is an independent risk factor for stroke, its association with disordered eating behaviours on stroke remains overlooked. This exploratory study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and severity of addictive-like eating behaviours in stroke patients and their association with the main vascular stroke risk factors.

Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a polygenic, severe metabopsychiatric disorder with poorly understood aetiology. Eight significant loci have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability was estimated to be ~ 11-17, yet causal variants remain elusive. It is therefore important to define the full spectrum of genetic variants in the wider regions surrounding these significantly associated loci.
