ICU delirium may cause with acute renal damage
Acute kidney Injury (AKI) and delirium are two of the most prevalent problems in the Intensive care unit (ICU). There is little known regarding the relationship between AKI and delirium, as well as the incidence and predictors of delirium in AKI patients.
ICU delirium is frequently associated with acute kidney injury, suggests a new study. The study data may be helpful for neurologists and critical care physicians in screening patients for those most likely to develop ICU delirium and providing early delirium interventions.

Sunscreen that includes zinc oxide becomes toxic after two hours
Sunscreen that includes zinc oxide, a common ingredient, loses much of its effectiveness and becomes toxic after two hours of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, according to a collaboration that included Oregon State University scientists.
The toxicity analysis involved zebrafish, which share a remarkable similarity to humans at the molecular, genetic and cellular levels, meaning many zebrafish studies are immediately relevant to people.

Improper sleep cycle increases risk of migraine
Association between migraine and sleep disorders (SD) are high and partially explained by the alteration of the serotoninergic system. SD is very common in pediatric age and about 25% of children experience a sleep problem.

PPIs decrease severity of gum disease
The use of heartburn medication is associated with decreased severity of gum disease, according to a recent University at Buffalo study.
The research found that patients who used proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) – a class of drugs commonly prescribed to treat heartburn, acid reflux and ulcers – were more likely to have smaller probing depths in the gums (the gap between teeth and gums). When gums are healthy, they fit snuggly against the teeth. However, in the presence of harmful bacteria, the gap deepens, leading to inflammation, bone loss and periodontitis, also known as gum disease.
