Paramedics found her to be GCS 3 and shortly afterwards required CPR and 1mg adrenaline for profound bradycardia and no pulse. Spontaneous output returned and no further drugs have been required to support her circulation. She remains intubated and GCS 3. There is little other history, except some information from a friend stating she had been on a trip to South America recently.

The NAO investigation found that many die because they suffer injuries at night or at weekends, when emergency consultants are not on call to provide the rapid diagnosis and treatment. This is more evidence that the Labour Party have not understood the NHS and have neglected our front line services here in the North East.

Naturally that means a non-invasive monitor that takes constant readings through your skin. Been there. Heard that. Right?

My response was a fun jaunt through issues on which there are no experts. But the highlight is the response I drew out of Michael Jackson, the former #2 man at the Department of Homeland Security. It does little to promote serious discourse about the truly grave topic of cyber security threats to begin by ridiculing DHS and DOD as “grasping for power” or to suggest that President Obama has somehow been duped into basing his sensible cyber strategy on “a lame and corny threat model called ‘weapons of mass disruption.’” It shows ignorance of the fac...

Pathophilia finds that testoterone is not increased in autistic children. The Cambridge-based Autism Research Centre is also researching hormones in autistic individuals. The Foetal testosterone Longitudinal Study seeks to find out whether elevated levels of foetal testosterone are associated with a later diagnosis of autism spectrum conditions. The Current hormones Project is looking at whether current hormone levels might also be atypical in autism and Asperger Syndrome. And another project is looking specifically at puberty. Yes, as you may have guessed, I’ve got puberty—so to speak—on my mind. Charlie’s 11 (and five months, to be...

The trouble with polls, is that I need to frame the question in a manner to leave no margin of error, to avoid false positives and true negatives, as I have always been of a scientific frame of mind. It would probably go something like this:- ‘How do you rate your ability to pin point the location of the screamer within the confines of your own home, where 1 equals poorly or infrequently and 10 equals 100% accuracy, always?’ Truly scientific persons will tell me that it is always wrong to predict an outcome, that I should remain impartial, unbiased and objective.The fact that I can even ask such a question is a measure of how far we have all come. This question presupposes that our children are not within sight. What does...

I very much like her response, Response to “Mental Health Blogs Going Bye-Bye?”, to Philip’s Furious Seasons’ entry about where do mental health blogs go to, since it seems like they come and go with a fair amount of regularity (even amongst the professionals). Here are a few of my own observations, which echo some of Marissa’s thoughts… 1. Blogging well is hard. Blogging poorly is easy. Having a blog that is nothing but links to news stories (as some medical blogs I follow do) is easy. Commenting on those links with some intelligence and insight and more than 10 words is hard. Blogging intell...

Yesterday, it was finally announced that scientists at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have initiated a phase 1 clinical trial to reverse type 1 diabetes. The ClinicalTrial.gov posted a trial announcement looking for people to participate in the first phase clinical trial."We are pleased to be starting human clinical trials," said Dr. Faustman. "Human trials take time, but we are making the step from curing diabetes in mice to determining whether it will work in men and women with diabetes."Certainly, an army of pe...
