Aspiration of foreign bodies occurs mainly in children and elderly people. When the foreign body is a tablet, this event can be more severe due to the local release of active molecules. We observed spontaneously regressing bronchial necrosis and granuloma due to the aspiration of a tablet of ferrous sulphate. We stress the need to consider the possibility of aspiration of a tablet in elderly patients with acute respiratory symptoms, and the importance of an early removal of the tablet.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis with hemorrhagic ascites: a case report.

Department of Pediatrics, Zhejiang Provincial Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital Hangzhou 310003, Zhejiang, China.
Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is an inflammatory disease characterized by a significant increase in eosinophils. EGE itself is rare, and cases with clinical manifestations of hemorrhagic ascites are even rarer, which undoubtedly increases the risk of misdiagnosis. Given this, this study reports a rare case of pediatric EGE presenting with paroxysmal abdominal pain without apparent cause, accompanied by acute tonsillitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis, suggesting a possible intestinal infection.

- The study investigates the impact of commercial milk formula (CMF) marketing on breastfeeding practices across seven countries, highlighting how CMF marketing contradicts international breastfeeding promotion laws.
- A total of 8,528 women participated in a survey, revealing significant exposure to CMF marketing, with rates varying widely by country (3% in Morocco to 92% in Vietnam), predominantly through television advertising.
- Results indicate that health professionals are the primary advisors for mothers choosing CMF, pointing to a need for better education on breastfeeding and alternatives to formula.
Antimicrobial and acaricide sanitizer tablets produced by wet granulation of spray-dried soap and clove oil-loaded microemulsion.
PLoS One

A novel sanitizer tablet containing clove essential oil (CO) microemulsion was developed. A preformulation study using nuclear magnetic resonance and thermal analyses showed component compatibility. The main components of the samples remained intact despite a color change, probably due to a strong acid-base interaction between eugenol and diethanolamine.

Article Synopsis
- Elderly patients often face feeding and swallowing issues, leading to the use of the simple suspension method where tablets are dissolved in warm water for tube administration without crushing.
- A study using verapamil revealed that drug release was faster from crushed tablets than from the simple suspension or intact tablets, indicating significant differences in dissolution profiles.
- While both crushing and simple suspension methods can safely help patients with dysphagia, they may also increase the risk of side effects, so it's advisable to avoid altering medications before giving them.
