    Abstract Background: Energy drinks contain caffeine, taurine, sucrose, vitamins, and other amino acids. The dosage of these varies depending on the drink chosen. Several studies on energy drinks have been carried out, but the results obtained are still inconsistent as well as the risk associated with consumption. This study analyzed the cardio- and cerebrovascular responses after consumption of an energy drink - RedBull® - under standardized pre- and post-ingestion conditions and its impact on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system.
    Methods: A sample of 30 healthy young adult females was recruited and subjected to 3 moments of evaluation: at baseline, 30 minutes after ingesting the energy drink, and 60 minutes after ingesting it according to a non-randomized pre-post intervention study design.
    Results: It is found that over time there are significant changes in peak systolic velocity (P =.006) and endodiastolic velocity (P <.001) of common carotid artery, peak systolic velocity (P =.007), and endodiastolic velocity (P <.001) of internal carotid artery, peak systolic velocity (P =.004), end endodiastolic velocity (P =.013) of the external carotid artery, endodiastolic velocity (P =.042) of the middle cerebral artery, cardiac output (P =.004), and heart rate (P <.001).
    Conclusions: After the consumption of Redbull®, there was a decrease in the velocities of the carotid arteries and the middle cerebral artery as well as a decrease in cardiac output accompanied by a decrease in heart rate and a slight, although not significant, increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressures. However, it is still unclear which pathophysiological mechanisms are responsible for these changes.

    Abstract Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used for the management of hypertension. This drug can lead to an enteropathy that clinically and histologically resembles coeliac disease. Symptoms may appear months or years after the introduction of the drug and usually resolve after discontinuation. The authors present a case of an 86-year-old woman with hypertension who was treated with olmesartan for 10 years. She presented to the emergency department with diarrhoea after three months of development and weight loss. The aetiological study that was conducted excluded infectious, inflammatory, endocrinological, and neoplastic causes. The pathological anatomy of the duodenal biopsy was suggestive of coeliac disease, but the serology was not compatible. The patient presented complete remission of the condition with the suspension of the drug and subsequent recrudescence when, by self-initiation, she resumed olmesartan. This case study aims to alert readers of a rare cause of enteropathy with a clinical manifestation that mimics coeliac disease. Olmesartan-induced enteropathy seems to be a diagnosis of exclusion and should be considered in patients chronically medicated with olmesartan.

  6. Article ; Online: Environmental salinity modulates olfactory sensitivity in the euryhaline European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax, acclimated to seawater and brackish water.

    Abstract The olfactory epithelium of fish is - of necessity - in intimate contact with the surrounding water. In euryhaline fish, movement from seawater to freshwater (and vice versa) exposes the epithelium to massive changes in salinity and ionic concentrations. How does the olfactory system function in the face of such changes? The current study compared olfactory sensitivity in seawater- (35‰) and brackish water-adapted seabass (5‰) using extracellular multi-unit recording from the olfactory nerve. Seawater-adapted bass had higher olfactory sensitivity to amino acid odorants when delivered in seawater than in freshwater. Conversely, brackish water-adapted bass had largely similar sensitivities to the same odorants when delivered in seawater or freshwater, although sensitivity was still slightly higher in seawater. The olfactory system of seawater-adapted bass was sensitive to decreases in external [Ca2+], whereas brackish water-adapted bass responded to increases in [Ca2+]; both seawater- and brackish water-adapted bass responded to increases in external [Na+] but the sensitivity was markedly higher in brackish water-adapted bass. In seawater-adapted bass, olfactory sensitivity to l-alanine depended on external Ca2+ ions, but not Na+; brackish water-adapted bass did respond to l-alanine in the absence of Ca2+, albeit with lower sensitivity, whereas sensitivity was unaffected by removal of Na+ ions. A possible adaptation of the olfactory epithelium was the higher number of mucous cells in brackish water-adapted bass. The olfactory system of seabass is able to adapt to low salinities, but this is not immediate; further studies are needed to identify the processes involved.

    Abstract Gastric neoplasms have different histological subtypes. Mixed neuroendocrine/non neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN), as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) 2019 Classification of Tumours of the Digestive System, are rare composite tumours bearing morphological characteristics of more than one histological type. Historically, the diagnosis requires that each component accounts for at least 30% of the total tumour burden. We present the case of a 70-year-old male, who was referred to our endoscopy unit for resection of a depressed lesion (Paris classification type 0 IIc) of 40mm in largest diameter, located on the lesser curvature of the gastric body. The lesion was submitted to en bloc resection by endoscopic submucosal dissection. Histological examination revealed a poorly differentiated intramucosal adenocarcinoma and a grade G3 well differentiated neuroendocrine tumour (NET), on a background of chronic atrophic gastritis. Unfortunately, examination of the NET component revealed intercepted margins. The patient is currently undergoing tumour staging and will be discussed by a multidisciplinary team to determine subsequent management.

    Abstract The following case report demonstrates a surgical biopsy performed through a subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery approach. The patient was a 35-year-old male, non-smoker, obese, with a history of arterial hypertension. He was referred for a thoracic surgery consultation because nonspecific interstitial pneumonia was suspected. The histological analysis confirmed the nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. We describe the procedure step by step. The postoperative course was uneventful. The subxiphoid approach is associated with less postoperative pain than the transthoracic approaches and could be an alternative, even for patients who have to undergo major lung resection surgery.
