ASGE encourages and supports the appropriate use of technologies that meet its established PIVI thresholds. In this study we investigated medication adherence of kidney transplant patients (KTPs) to an immediate-release tacrolimus (IR-T) regimen and, after conversion, to a prolonged-release tacrolimus (PR-T) regimen in routine clinical practice. This was a noninterventional, observational, multicenter Swedish study. We included adult KTPs with stable graft function, remaining on IR-T or converting from IR-T to PR-T. Data were collected at baseline, and months 3, 6, and 12 postbaseline. The primary endpoint was adherence using the Basel Assessment of Adherence to Immunosuppressive Medication Scale (BAASIS). Secondary assessments included tacrolimus dose and trough levels, clinical laboratory parameters (eg, estimated glomerular filtration rate), and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Overall, 233 KTPs were analyzed (PR-T, n= 175; IR-T, n= 58). Mean change in PR-T dose from baseline (4.8 mg/d) to month 12 was -0.2 mg/d, and for IR-T (4.2 mg/d) was -0.4 mg/d; tacrolimus trough levels remained similar. Overall adhereve significantly over 12 months in stable KTPs converting to PR-T or remaining on IR-T; renal function remained stable. Following the presence of both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and post-concussion syndrome (PCS) in the nosography since the publication of DSM-IV, large-scale studies investigated the links between these two entities exposure to a mild traumatic brain injury was correlated with the presence of PTSD and vice versa, and the strongest factor associated with PCS was the presence of PTSD. But PCS entity was recently suppressed from the 5th edition of the American diagnostic and statistical classification of neuropsychiatric disorders (DSM-5, 2013). In the 11th edition of the CIM, PCS is also likely to be omitted. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Decitabine.html This elimination raises more questions if we take into consideration the emancipation of PTSD, which now includes the full category of "disorders related to trauma and stressors" to which PCS could have legitimately been added. We discuss current scientific literature and clinical practices with a socio-anthropological point of view. Post-concussion and post-traumatic clinical entities often clinical-radio-bio- neuropsychological score in order to differentiate benign outcomes from neuro- and/or psycho-traumatic disorders. Yet, post-concussion syndrome remains a clinical-biological reality. If a diffusion tensor imaging MRI in the acute phase is likely to provide predictive elements for subsequent cognitive dysfunctions, it would appear useful to consider combining biomarkers, and linguistics markers, with the creation of a clinical-radio-bio- neuropsychological score in order to differentiate benign outcomes from neuro- and/or psycho-traumatic disorders.Atraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage represents a small proportion of strokes, but is a true medical emergency that results in significant morbidity and mortality. Making the diagnosis can be challenging and misdiagnosis can result in devastating consequences. There are several time-dependent diagnostic and management considerations for emergency physicians and other frontline providers. This article reviews the most up-to-date literature on the diagnostic workup of subarachnoid hemorrhage, avoiding misdiagnosis, and initial emergency department management recommendations.In the initial assessment of the headache patient, the emergency physician must consider several dangerous secondary causes of headache. A thorough history and physical examination, along with consideration of a comprehensive differential diagnosis may alert the emergency physician to the diagnosis of a secondary headache particularly when the history is accompanied by any of the following clinical features sudden/severe onset, focal neurologic deficits, altered mental status, advanced age, active or recent pregnancy, coagulopathy, malignancy, fever, visual deficits, and/or loss of consciousness.The diagnosis and management of neurologic conditions are more complex at the extremes of age than in the average adult. In the pediatric population, neurologic emergencies are somewhat rare and some may require emergent consultation. In older adults, geriatric physiologic changes with increased comorbidities leads to atypical presentations and worsened outcomes. The unique considerations regarding emergency department presentation and management of stroke and altered mental status in both age groups is discussed, in addition to seizures and intracranial hemorrhage in pediatrics, and Parkinson's disease and meningitis in the geriatric population.The treatment of acute ischemic stroke is one of the most rapidly evolving areas in medicine. Like all ischemic vascular emergencies, the priority is reperfusion before irreversible infarction. The central nervous system is sensitive to brief periods of hypoperfusion, making stroke a golden hour diagnosis. Although the phrase "time is brain" is relevant today, emerging treatment strategies use more specific markers for consideration of reperfusion than time alone. Innovations in early stroke detection and individualized patient selection for reperfusion therapies have equipped the emergency medicine clinician with more opportunities to help stroke patients and minimize the impact of this disease.The emergency department is where the patient and potential ethical challenges are first encountered. Patients with acute neurologic illness introduce a unique set of dilemmas related to the pressure for ultra-early prognosis in the wake of rapidly advancing treatments. Many with neurologic injury are unable to provide autonomous consent, further complicating the picture, potentially asking uncertain surrogates to make quick decisions that may result in significant disability. The emergency department physician must take these ethical quandaries into account to provide standard of care treatment.There are subtle physiologic and pharmacologic principles that should be understood for patients with neurologic injuries. These principles are especially true for managing patients with traumatic brain injuries. Prevention of hypotension and hypoxemia are major goals in the management of these patients. This article discusses the physiology, pitfalls, and pharmacology necessary to skillfully care for this subset of patients with trauma. The principles endorsed in this article are applicable both for patients with traumatic brain injury and those with spinal cord injuries.
