Acute-onset rhabdomyolysis secondary to sitagliptin and atorvastatin interaction
We present a case report of the interaction of two drugs that are used commonly in the general population. We here discuss a case of a 60-year-old female who presented to the hospital with complaints of generalized weakness, muscle aches, and atypical chest pain for a week after her primary care physician started her on sitagliptin while she was already on atorvastatin. After review of literature, this is the second known case of such an interaction causing acute breakdown of skeletal musculature.

Avicenna ’s11Iranian scientist (physician) and philosopher (980–1037 AD) and the author of the book “cannon” in medicine. views on factors affecting wound healing
Conclusion Wound healing in the view of Avicenna is a whole body process that the body temperament and wellbeing closely affects it and factors like total body fluids and quality and quantity of blood and the quality of patient’s nutrition may delay or hasten this process. So treatment of ulcers directly depends on local factors like Cleanliness and systemic ones like body nature and temperament and quality of nutrition.

Semi-individualised Chinese medicine treatment as an adjuvant management for diabetic nephropathy: a pilot add-on, randomised, controlled, multicentre, open-label pragmatic clinical trial
Introduction
Diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy (DN) are prevalent and costly to manage. DN is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease. Conventional therapy blocking the renin–angiotensin system has only achieved limited effect in preserving renal function. Recent observational data show that the use of Chinese medicine (CM), a major form of traditional medicine used extensively in Asia, could reduce the risk of end-stage kidney disease. However, existing clinical practice guidelines are weakly evidence-based and the effect of CM remains unclear. This trial explores the effect of an existing integrative...

Participatory Medicine Learning Exchange: How Are We Moving the Needle?
We are each individually advancing the participatory medicine movement in our day-to-day lives and interfaces with healthcare/and or our work. Understanding the work we are conducting within our individual silos can help us learn from one another, allow us to build upon ideas, forge collaborations, provide a forum for feedback and suggestions, and ideally avoid duplication of efforts. Helpful tips and best practices we’ve adopted as we navigate the healthcare system can also be beneficial to others.
Join us for our Inaugural Learning Exchange on Thursday, November 10th, 3:00 – 4:00 pm EST.

Renaissance in Health Care: A Personal Perspective
Charlotte Sweeney
I have experience as a physician, a patient, and a caregiver. I am a medical doctor—a surgeon in obstetrics and gynecology. In a hospital where I had practiced, I became a patient. Because of a missed diagnosis, instead of being treated with medications, my treatment resulted in major abdominal surgeries. I am also the caregiver of another adult member of my family.
It is this combination that brings me a unique perspective. I am able to see things through multiple lenses, so I re-focused my calling after retiring from practicing clinical medicine to serve as a patient and family advisor. I educate, a...

The value of emergency medicine placements for postgraduate doctors: views of Foundation Year 2 doctors and training leads in the emergency department (ED)
Conclusions
Emergency medicine placements were important in the development of confident and competent F2 doctors, particularly in the context of less clinical exposure in other specialty placements. However, there are competing tensions between elements of postgraduate learning and service delivery within emergency medicine that require addressing to enable trainees to optimally develop knowledge and skills in this environment.
