“I’m Seeing Dead People”: A Case Report on Salicylate Poisoning in a Patient with Hallucinations by Jessica Meyers, Sean McCormick, Phillip D. Levy, Michael J. Twiner

“…Case Report: We describe the case of an accidental, sub-chronic overdose (up to 7.5 grams/day for multiple weeks; ~75 milligrams/kilogram/day) that resulted in predominantly neurological symptoms (ie, tinnitus and hallucinations, including the patient reporting “seeing dead people”) but without the more typical findings classically associated with salicylate toxicity. The patient was started on a sodium bicarbonate drip; after two days, symptoms completely resolved, and she was safely discharged home. …”

The Higgs mechanism — Hasse diagrams for symplectic singularities by Antoine Bourget, Santiago Cabrera, Julius F. Grimminger, Amihay Hanany, Marcus Sperling, Anton Zajac, Zhenghao Zhong

“…While the unbroken gauge symmetry and the number of flat directions are obtainable by classical field theory analysis for Lagrangian theories, our approach allows us to characterise the geometry of the Higgs branch by a Hasse diagram with symplectic leaves and transverse slices, thus refining the analysis and extending it to non-Lagrangian theories. …”

Diagnosing Celiac Disease: Towards Wide-Scale Screening and Serology-Based Criteria? by Alina Popp, Laura Kivelä, Valma Fuchs, Kalle Kurppa

“…On the other hand, widening screening and the mistaken practice of initiating a gluten-free diet before the appropriate exclusion of celiac disease increase the number of borderline seropositive cases, which may also challenge the classical histopathological diagnostics. Sophisticated diagnostic methods and a deeper understanding of the natural history of early developing celiac disease may prove useful in these circumstances.…”
