Persistent Lithium-Induced Neurotoxicity: Direct Effect Of Lithium And/Or Hypernatremia?, Ioana-Mihaela Popescu, James A. Bourgeois Jul 2009

Persistent Lithium-Induced Neurotoxicity: Direct Effect Of Lithium And/Or Hypernatremia?, Ioana-Mihaela Popescu, James A. Bourgeois

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract Lithium has been used in the treatment of bipolar affective disorder (BAD) for more than 50 years. Features of lithium toxicity include drowsiness, slurred speech, ataxia, psychomotor slowing, polyneuropathy, impaired memory, seizures, coma and death. Lithium neurotoxicity is usually reversible on cessation of its administration, and irreversible toxicity is uncommon. However, persistent neurological sequelae may follow lithium intoxication. There may be a contribution to neurotoxicity from the SIADH associated with lithium toxicity in addition to the direct effects of lithium itself. We describe a case of lithium toxicity with persistent delirium in a patient with a brief period of …


Erosive Eosinophilic Esophagitis In Rumination Syndrome, Shawn S. Sidhu, James R. Rick Jul 2009

Erosive Eosinophilic Esophagitis In Rumination Syndrome, Shawn S. Sidhu, James R. Rick

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Rumination syndrome involves bringing up partially digested food into the pharynx voluntarily, followed by reswallowing or expelling. It was discovered in the 17th century; however, knowledge of the disorder has remained sparse until recently. Indeed, the first case of adult rumination in Japan was reported as recently as 2006. Due to this recent increase in awareness, notions about the disease have remained in a state of constant fluctuation. While first believed to be a disease of neurologically-impaired children between 3 and 8 months of age, it is now widely recognized as occurring in men and women of all ages and …

Entitlements: Not Just A Health Care Problem, Andrew G. Biggs Apr 2009

Entitlements: Not Just A Health Care Problem, Andrew G. Biggs

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] “A new consensus on entitlement reform has developed in Washington: rising per-capita health care spending is the only real crisis besetting the government‘s entitlement programs, while America‘s aging population and Social Security play minor roles at best. Some cite this view to shift the policy emphasis from entitlement cost control to the restructuring of the U.S. health sector, including private health care. But this new consensus is flawed. Using standard accounting practices and including all major government entitlement programs, population aging will play an equal role with health care cost growth over the next seventy-five years and a significantly …
