Background: With increase in incidence rate of persistent vomiting (PV) in the post-legalization period it is important to understand adverse effects of cannabis use and its relationship with PV.
Objective: We investigated the relationship between cannabis use disorder (CUD) and PV-related hospitalization.
Methods: A Nationwide Inpatient Sample was analyzed from 2010 to 2014 for patients (aged 15-54 y) with a primary diagnosis of PV (N = 55,549), and a comparison was made between patients with the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition classification of CUD versus non-CUD cohorts. We used logistic regression to study the odds ratio between CUD and PV.
Results: The number of PV-related hospitalizations with CUD had a significantly increased trend (P < 0.001), with a 286% increase over 5 years. A higher proportion of these patients with CUD were younger (15-24 y), female, and African American/Hispanic. In regression analysis, cannabis was associated with a seven-fold higher odds (95% confidence interval: 6.931-7.260) of PV-related hospitalization.
Conclusions: This study found that CUD was independently associated with a 609% increased likelihood of PV-related hospitalization, and this association persisted even after adjusting for known risk factors and other substances.

Background: Pathogenic variants in are associated with pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE), a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by epileptic seizures, unresponsiveness to standard antiseizure medications (ASM), and a response only to pyridoxine. Here, we report two patients (from a consanguineous family) with neonatal seizures and developmental delay.

Article Synopsis
- Sclerosing mesenteritis is a rare chronic condition that affects the mesenteric fat, involving inflammation and fibrosis without a clear cause, leading to variable symptoms, most commonly abdominal pain.
- Its diagnosis primarily relies on histological analysis, even though incidental findings have increased due to widespread CT imaging.
- The prognosis is generally good, but misdiagnosis is common, highlighting the need to consider it in cases of vague abdominal pain to prevent unnecessary treatments, though surgery might be required for severe cases like intestinal blockage.
Multimodal analgesia and anesthesia have become the gold standard in total joint arthroplasty to reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption and minimize complications associated with opioid use. There are several elements in an effective multimodal protocol, including oral medications, periarticular injection, regional nerve blocks, and spinal and general anesthesia. Many nonopioid medications are often used, such as acetaminophen and NSAIDs.

Background: Mucosal adenocarcinoma of the descending duodenum is a very rare gastrointestinal tumor. Due to its low incidence, it has rarely been the focus of clinical and pathological studies. The clinical manifestations of these tumors are usually nonspecific, and they are easily misdiagnosed or missed.

Background: Previously we identified a complex of non-structural protein (NS) 1 - Thrombin (NST) in dengue infected patients. Here, we investigated how the concentration of NS1 and NST differ in various dengue severity levels as well as their demographic and clinical features. Several comorbid (hypertension, diabetes, and chronic renal failure) often found in dengue patients were also measured and analyzed.
