The prevalence and treatment of behavioral and mental illnesses in the adolescent population are increasing, and many of the medications used are continued into adulthood. Increased vigilance is necessary when caring for this population to prevent side effects and drug interactions. In this short communication, we present a case of myocardial infarction in a male likely related to drug interactions between bupropion, erythromycin, and methylphenidate.
Several different arterial puncture closure devices are available for use after cardiovascular procedures. The main advantages include decrease need of manual compression, reduce patient discomfort, and the time to ambulation. Access site complications are not rare after vascular closure device use. We report a case of popliteal artery emobilization after using an extravascular water soluble plug-mediated vascular puncture closure device. V C 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
