Recreational ketamine use has surged:  it rose 82% over 4 years from 2015 to 2019 and another 40% over a single year from 2021 to 2022.   Those in their mid-20s to mid-30s are 66% more likely to abuse it compared with those in their early 20s.  Its in greater use by those with college educations compared with those who completed their formal education with high school.

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic and a valuable therapeutic agent for pain relief in the hospital and a useful tool for managing drug-resistant depression.  Used irresponsibly including use with alcohol, ketamine can cause dangerous hallucinations, unconsciousness, seizures, coma, respiratory depression, dangerously low blood pressures, cardiac arrest, and death.  

This is not a drug to play with.  Besides these acute complications, its repeated use leads to psychological dependence and addiction.

The FDA now warns healthcare professionals and the general public about unapproved epinephrine nasal solutions manufactured by BPI Labs and Endo USA.  These products may be mistakenly used rather than FDA-approved injectable epinephrine. These products look similar due to similar packaging and containers/.  These nasal solutions are not sterile, and injections of non-sterile solutions can trigger serious and life-threatening infections.

Due to FDA warnings, Endo USA recalled its unapproved nasal product in December 2024.  To date and  despite repeated notifications, BPI Labs has not complied with the FDA’s ordered recall.

Healthcare professionals and you, the consumer, should be aware of the potential dangers of these products.

Ultrasonic vibrations, transmitted to killer T cells via micro bubbles, trigger a 3.6 fold greater release of tumor killing proteins from the T cells.  This the report from Canadian biophysicists in the journalFrontiers in Immunology.  

The vibrations, transmitted to tumors from the surface via microbubbles, make the T cell membranes more permeable, more leaky.  These cells then release cytokines, signaling molecules that recruit additional immune cells in the battle against the cancer cells.

This technique is non-invasive and could become a valuable adjunctive weapon in the battle to control all cancers….. someday soon.

Repetitive head trauma activates latent viruses that, in turn, create the neurologic damage characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s dementia.  This the conclusion from studies by Boston’s Tuft’s University bioengineers just published in the journalScienceSignaling.

Using a 3Din vitrohuman brain model, their studies show that latent or sleepingherpes simplex virus type 1in brain tissue is reactivated into life by repeated brain trauma.  This now active virus then creates neuroinflammation with accumulation of the debris found in cases of Alzheimer’s dementia and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, namely beta amyloid and phosphorylated tau.

The takeaway: repeat blows to your head or to the heads of your children during sports contests like football, trigger a herpes virus induced degeneration of brain tissue and dementia.  Avoid head trauma and, when you can’t, wear protective head gear.

The pattern of blood vessels at the back of your eyes, in your retinas, could be an early warning sign that your risk of stroke may be up to 20% higher than normal.  So say research ophthalmologists at Australia’s Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital working with colleagues at Harvard’s Mass.Eye and Ear Infirmary.

The eye’s retina is the only part of the body offering a direct view of your blood vessels.  Observing vascular patterns in the eyes of some 45,161 subjects followed over 12.5 years, the investigators discovered 29 indicators linked to increased stroke risk.  Significant changes in these indicators predicted an increased risk of stroke from 9.8 to 19%.

This retinal vascular analysis appears to more predictive of strokes than more conventional non-invasive methods.  With further refinement, it can only improve.
