    Abstract Beta-blocker and calcium-channel blocker overdoses are associated with severe morbidity and mortality; therefore, it is important to recognize and appropriately treat individuals with toxicity. The most common clinical findings in toxicity are bradycardia and hypotension. In addition to supportive care and cardiac monitoring, specific treatment includes administration of calcium salts, vasopressors, and high-dose insulin euglycaemia treatment. Other advanced treatments (e.g. ECMO) may be indicated depending on the severity of toxicity and specific agents involved.

    Abstract Objective: We investigated the impact of favorite music on pain processing among individuals with fibromyalgia. We also examined differences in pain processing between individuals with fibromyalgia and healthy controls (HC) while listening to favorite music and explored whether psychosocial factors contributed to these differences.
    Methods: Individuals with fibromyalgia and HC completed baseline psychosocial questionnaires and then underwent quantitative sensory testing (QST) during 3 randomized music conditions (meditative music, favorite music, white noise). Among individuals with fibromyalgia, Friedman tests were used to investigate differences in QST across conditions. Analyses of Covariance were used to examine group (HC vs fibromyalgia) differences in QST during favorite music. Correlations were conducted to explore associations of baseline psychosocial factors with QST during favorite music. Mediation analyses were conducted to explore whether psychosocial factors contributed to greater pain sensitivity among individuals with fibromyalgia compared to HC during favorite music.
    Results: Individuals with fibromyalgia were less sensitive to pressure pain while listening to their favorite music compared to white noise. Compared to HC, individuals with fibromyalgia reported higher baseline negative affect and lower pain thresholds and tolerances during favorite music. Negative affect partially mediated the relationship between pain status (HC vs fibromyalgia) and pain sensitivity during favorite music.
    Conclusions: Individuals with fibromyalgia were less pain sensitive while listening to favorite music than white noise, although they were more sensitive than HC. Greater negative affect endorsed by individuals with fibromyalgia contributed to their greater pain sensitivity. Future studies should explore the impact of favorite music on clinical pain.
    Clinical trails registration: This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04087564) and began on 6/13/2019.

    Abstract We present a unique case of a massive calcium channel antagonist overdose in a patient with a permanent pacemaker. Upon presentation after the acute overdose, the patient's cardiac device was found to be pacing to an adequate rate (75 beats per minute) and she was admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit. Approximately 24 hours after her ingestion, she acutely decompensated and became hypotensive. The patient was started on infusions of norepinephrine, epinephrine, phenylephrine, and vasopressin. Her mean arterial pressure was unresponsive to multi-vasopressor therapy. She was then given a bolus of methylene blue and high-dose insulin euglycemic therapy. Despite these treatments, the patient remained hypotensive Therefore, intralipid emulsion therapy and IV epinephrine pushes were also administered. As a result of her shock and hemodynamic instability, her course was further complicated by hypoxemic respiratory failure for which she required ventilatory support and developed oliguric renal failure for which she was initiated on continuous veno-venous hemofiltration. This case emphasizes the challenges in managing complex physiology associated with nodal agent toxicity and is the first, to our knowledge, to describe management in a patient who already had a pacemaker, though it was ultimately ineffective in avoiding the patient's profound decompensation.

    Abstract Background: India has the greatest burden of tuberculosis (TB). However, over 15% of the people on antitubercular therapy (ATT) in India are nonadherent. Several adherence monitoring techniques deployed in India to enhance ATT adherence have had modest effects. Increased adoption of mobile phones and other technologies pose potential solutions to measuring and intervening in ATT adherence. Several technology-based interventions around ATT adherence have been demonstrated in other countries.
    Objective: The objective of our study was to understand the acceptance of mobile phone adherence supports for ATT using self-administered quantitative measures among patients with TB in South India.
    Methods: This exploratory study was conducted at a TB treatment center (TTC) at a tertiary care center in Thrissur District, Kerala, India. We recruited 100 patients with TB on ATT using convenience sampling after obtaining written informed consent. Trained study staff administered the questionnaire in Malayalam, commonly spoken in Kerala, India. We used frequency, mean, median, and SD or IQR to describe the data.
    Results: Of the 100 participants diagnosed with TB on ATT, 90% used mobile phones routinely, and 84% owned a mobile phone. Ninety-five percent of participants knew how to use the calling function, while 65% of them did not know how to use the SMS function on their mobile phone. Overall, 89% of the participants did not consider mobile phone-based ATT adherence interventions an intrusion in their privacy, and 93% did not fear stigma if the adherence reminder was received by someone else. Most (95%) of the study participants preferred mobile phone reminders instead of directly observed treatment, short-course. Voice calls (n=80, 80%) were the more preferred reminder modality than SMS reminders (n=5, 5%).
    Conclusions: Mobile phones are likely an acceptable platform to deliver ATT adherence interventions among individuals with TB in South India. Preference of voice call reminders may inform the architecture of future adherence interventions surrounding ATT in South India.
