Early cancer detection substantially improves the rate of patient survival; however, conventional screening methods are directed at single anatomical sites and focus primarily on a limited number of cancers, such as gastric, colorectal, lung, breast, and cervical cancer. Additionally, several cancers are inadequately screened, hindering early detection of 45.5% cases.

Article Synopsis
  • The article evaluates the effectiveness and safety of a combination treatment of atropine (ATR) and omeprazole (OME) for acute gastritis (AG) in comparison to anisodamine (ADM) with OME.
  • The study involved 95 patients, with the ATR+OME group showing a higher success rate, fewer side effects, and quicker symptom relief than the ADM+OME group.
  • Results indicated that the ATR+OME treatment significantly reduced inflammatory markers and gastrointestinal hormone levels, suggesting its strong efficacy and safety for managing AG, making it suitable for wider clinical use.

Introduction: Although the administration of activated charcoal (AC) is considered safe, the associated risk of pulmonary aspiration explains certain reluctance of physicians to use this procedure. The objective of this study was to analyse the rate of pulmonary aspiration in children receiving AC after accidental ingestion of a toxic substance.

Methods: We carried out a substudy of a multicentre prospective registry-based cohort study including children presenting with acute poisoning to 58 paediatric emergency department (EDs) members of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Emergency Medicine between 2008 and 2022 on certain previously designated days.

Background: PAPP is widely used in Australia as a potent vertebrate bait, with potential for off-target ingestion and poisoning in domestic dogs. Whilst toxicosis and resulting methaemoglobinaemia is anecdotally known to occur, this is the first description in the literature. This study reports thirteen clinical cases of suspected Para-aminopropiophenone (PAPP) toxicity in dogs, with the aim of describing clinical presentation and current management of toxicosis in this species.
