Liquorice has an active substance, Glycyrrhizin which inhibits the conversion of precursor cortisol to cortisone by inhibiting the enzyme11-betahydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. When imbibed, liquorice acts like hyperaldosteronism which presents with typical symptoms including high blood pressure, low blood potassium, and muscle pain and weakness. This article appraises physiological and pharmacological effects on health of liquorice, critiques products containing liquorice, describes a typical case report of liquorice-induced hypertension, and appraises oral effects from consumption of liquorice products.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a class of diseases involving heart or blood vessels. Coronary artery diseases include angina, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmias. CVDs are the leading cause of death globally. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, poor diet, blood cholesterol, and lack of exercise. It is approximated that 90% of CVDs is preventable. High blood pressure results in 13% of CVD deaths, whereas tobacco outcomes in 9%, diabetes and lack of exercise in around 6%, and obesity in 5%. Due to certain medications such as anticancer drugs like doxorubicin, adverse effects result in MI. Since ancient times, medicinal plants have been widely used in the treatment of diseases. This information may serve as a primer in identifying novel prophylactic as well as therapeutic studies of plant-derived principles. The parts of the plants such as seeds, leaves, flowers, roots, and bark contain these phytoconstituents which are obtained through different extraction processes. Phytoconstituents are broadly classified into alkaloids, saponins, polyphenols, essential oils, carotenoids, glycosides, omega fatty acids, and flavonoids. Each class is responsible for its own pharmacological effects. The underlying mechanism in which they exert the action is different. This review presents an overview of the MI and therapeutic strategies of plant-derived principles that are available to mitigate the effect of MI.

Abstract Background Dengue, the most prevalent arboviral infection disease worldwide affects more than 2.5 billion people. Puerto Rico has endemic transmission of dengue virus (DENV). Chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus (DM) tend to increase susceptibility to infectious diseases. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is also one of the chronic diseases with higher prevalence in the United States (9.1%) and Puerto Rico (12.8%), and its effect on arboviral infections is understudied. Methods A Sentinel Enhanced Dengue Surveillance System was established in a tertiary hospital in the southern region of Puerto Rico. Study aims are to describe and compare the clinical course and prognosis of dengue in patients with and without the DM co-morbidity. A retrospective case-control study (2012-2015) was performed, where 1,005 participants with confirmed dengue were identified. Results In those with dengue, we examined 57 cases with DM and 171 controls without DM on presentation. Mean age of participants was 40 years old, 31 (54.4%) were males. Relevant clinical features of cases were high blood pressure (HBP) in 51%, muscle pain (70.2%) and joint pain (63.2%). Laboratory results were thrombocytopenia (40%), high creatinine >1.2mg/dl (18.5%), high BUN >20mg/dl (16.6%) and low albumin < 3.4 g/dl (28.7%). For controls, clinical and laboratory results were HBP in 26.9%, muscle pain (64.3%) and joint pain (56.7%); thrombocytopenia (38.6%), high creatinine (4.7%), high BUN (1.8%) and low albumin (21.6%). ANOVA test compared the means of clinical features and laboratory parameters between the case and control groups. The results indicate that high blood pressure, high creatinine and high BUN were significantly more common in cases than in controls (P < 0.01). Cases that had high creatinine (OR = 2.03 [CI: 0.01 – 6.08]), high BUN (OR = 1.30 [CI: 0.93 – 1.81]) and high blood pressure (OR = 1.02 [CI: 0.93 – 1.11]) were more likely to present bleeding, a warning sign for severe dengue. Also, diabetic cases that presented thrombocytopenia were more likely to be admitted to the hospital (OR = 2.64 [CI: 0.36 – 19.37]). Conclusion Understanding the clinical manifestation of dengue in patients with DM can increase clinician awareness of the importance of this co-morbidity in order to implement preventive measures and improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract Background Paraganglioma is a very rare cause of pregnancy-induced hypertension. The objective of this case report is to present a case of paraganglioma presented during pregnancy and missed. Later, the diagnosis was made during the postpartum period because of persistence of hypertension. Case presentation Here, we describe the case of a patient with paraganglioma who initially presented with pregnancy-induced hypertension and gestational diabetes mellitus. She had persistence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus following delivery with proteinuria, thrombocytosis, and spells. Once her pelvic paraganglioma was removed, her blood pressure and blood sugar were normal without antihypertensives or hypoglycemic agents, respectively. Her proteinuria settled with near-normal platelet counts. Conclusion Although neuroendocrine tumors are a rare cause of pregnancy-induced hypertension, it should be suspected in the appropriate clinical setting. Diabetes mellitus, proteinuria, and thrombocytosis can be a clinical feature in paraganglioma.

Crew member arrived in Brazil on August 20, 2020, rapid test for COVID-19 with a negative result. On the 28th, already on board, he developed: fever, cough and malaise. On the 29th, was closely monitored for 2 hours and 30 minutes. In the first hour, he presented hypothermia, high blood pressure and tachycardia, requiring oxygen therapy, he presented in the last 90 minutes to hypothermia, an abrupt drop in blood pressure and bradycardia, ultimately evolving to hypothermia, lack of blood pressure and electrical activity of the heart. A review of the protocol for coping with COVID-19 is required.
