Cardio-renal syndrome: A double edged sword
Renal dysfunction can compromise virtually every organ system. This especially applies to cardiac function whereupon renal maintenance of fluid volume, vascular tone, and electrolytes impacts the heart directly. Cardio-renal syndrome has only recently been described since 2004 and is defined as a state in which therapy to alleviate heart failure symptoms is limited by increasingly worsening renal function.1 It has been estimated that this accounts for over one million hospital admissions annually in the United States.

Cardio-Renal Syndrome: A double edged sword
Cardiorenal Syndrome (CRS) represents a number of important interactions between heart and kidney disease. The interaction is bidirectional, as acute or chronic dysfunction of the heart or kidneys can induce acute or chronic dysfunction in the other organ. CRS has traditionally been explained by hemodynamic factors as manifested by a low cardiac output state. However, clinical presentations where concomitant cardiac and kidney dysfunction exist, including heterogeneous conditions, and hence more complex bidirectional interplays between the heart and the kidney have been recognized through a number of physiologic, biochemic...

Medication induced glaucoma
Glaucoma poses a significant public health problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the prevalence of blindness from glaucoma at more than 8 million, with 4 million cases caused by primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Glaucoma is responsible for 12.3% of blindness, making it the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, after cataract.1 (Source: Disease a Month)

Foreword
The eye is a potential target organ for systemic pathology caused by drugs, connective tissue diseases, infections, and vascular disease. These clinical presentations can initially appear as a common or mundane complaint, but can progress to serious pathology if not recognized. Dr. Lisa Thompson and her colleagues from the Division of Ophthalmology at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago, Illinois, present a comprehensive overview of several of these issues. This will become a valuable resource for any primary care physician who encounters these vexing problems. (Source: Disease a Month)

Complex febrile seizures —A systematic review
In early medical writings only the following three types of neurological disorders were recognized: seizures, paralysis, and hydrocephalus. From the time of the early Greeks, seizures were solely recognized as complications of a febrile illness. Soon after, the beginnings of the current day complicated categorization of seizures types began to occur with the distinction of a form of seizure called a febrile seizure. From the Hippocratic era of medicine, the two accepted characteristics of febrile seizures were that they occurred in childhood, with high susceptibility of a child to have febrile seizures during the first 2 â...
