| 1 | Green tea extract:A potential cause of acute liver failure显示文摘The use of herbal products has increased significantly in recent years.Because these products are not subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration and are often used without supervision by a healthcare provider,the indication for and consumption of these supplements is quite variable.Moreover,their use is generally regarded as safe and natural by the lay-public.Unfortunately,there has been an increase in the number of reported adverse events occurring with the use of herbal products.We present a case of acute impending liver failure in an adolescent male using a weightloss product containing green tea extract.Our case adds to the growing concern surrounding the ingestion of green tea extract and serves to heighten healthcare provider awareness of a potential green tea extract hepatotoxicity.Despite the generally touted benefits of green tea as a whole,clinical concern regarding its use is emerging and has been linked to its concentration in multiple herbal supplements.Interestingly,the suspected harmful compounds are those previously proposed to be advantageous for weight-loss,cancer remedy,and anti-inflammatory purposes.Yet,we emphasize the need to be aware of not just green tea extract,but the importance of monitoring patient use of all dietary supplements and herbal products. | Shreena S Patel Stacey Beer Debra L Kearney Garrett Phillips Beth A Carter | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，31： | 3 |
| 2 | Near-fatal Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia,shock and complicated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation:A case report显示文摘BACKGROUND Panton-Valentine leukocidin(PVL)is an exotoxin secreted by Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus),responsible for skin and soft tissue infections.As a cause of severe necrotising pneumonia,it is associated with a high mortality rate.A rare entity,the epidemiology of PVL S.aureus(PVL-SA)pneumonia as a complication of influenza coinfection,particularly in young adults,is incompletely understood.CASE SUMMARY An adolescent girl presented with haemoptysis and respiratory distress,deteriorated rapidly,with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)and profound shock requiring extensive,prolonged resuscitation,emergency critical care and venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO).Cardiac arrest and a rare complication of ECMO cannulation necessitated intra-procedure extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation,i.e.,venoarterial ECMO.Coordinated infectious disease,microbiology and Public Health England engagement identified causative agents as PVL-SA and influenza A/H3N2 from bronchial aspirates within hours.Despite further complications of critical illness,the patient made an excellent recovery with normal cognitive function.The coordinated approach of numerous multidisciplinary specialists,nursing staff,infection control,specialist cardiorespiratory support,hospital services,both adult and paediatric and Public Health are testimony to what can be achieved to save life against expectation,against the odds.The case serves as a reminder of the deadly nature of PVL-SA when associated with influenza and describes a rare complication of ECMO cannulation.CONCLUSION PVL-SA can cause severe ARDS and profound shock,with influenza infection.A timely coordinated multispecialty approach can be lifesaving. | Joshua Cuddihy Shreena Patel Nabeela Mughal Christopher Lockie Richard Trimlett Stephane Ledot Nicholas Cheshire Ajay Desai Suveer Singh | 2021 | World Journal of Critical Care Medicine2021，10，5： | 1 |
