Acute kidney injury: A quick diagnosis aids recovery
A 35-year-old man arrives at the ED with severe weakness, diarrhea, nausea, hypotension, and tachycardia, which began after he finished a 100-mile race the previous day. Urinalysis indicates the presence of protein, blood, and an elevated specific gravity. The patient’s medications include citalopram for depression and ibuprofen for a recent knee injury. The patient says, “I’ve been taking more ibuprofen than I normally do, and I wish I’d stopped at more drink stations during the race.”
Cannabis and healthcare: Complicated policies and laws
A physician authorizes medical cannabis for an 18-year-old student who lives in a college dorm in a state where cannabis is legal for recreational use by anyone over 21 and also by minors with guardian approval. However, campus policy prohibits the use and storage of cannabis. College health center staff tell the student that his parents will need to store the cannabis and take him off campus to use it. The student’s family struggles to respond as their child ponders the risk of engaging in activities deemed legal in one context but illegal in another.
Women and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis
Why are new HIV cases still occurring when we have preventive treatment? One reason could be a lack of knowledge and experience among healthcare professionals to discuss, prescribe, and manage PrEP for vulnerable patients. Lack of information and discomfort with prescribing PrEP remain ongoing issues among healthcare professionals in the United States. Healthcare professionals should know how to identify appropriate candidates for PrEP, provide general education, and prescribe necessary preventive treatment.
