Abstract:
<strong>Background:&nbsp;</strong>Altered mental status (AMS) comprises a group of clinical symptoms rather than a specific diagnosis, and includes cognitive disorders, attention disorders, arousal disorders and decreased level of consciousness. Patients often manifest vague symptoms, thus, AMS diagnosis and treatment are highly challenging for general medicine physicians.&nbsp;<strong>Material &amp; Methods:&nbsp;</strong>Within the Department of General Medicine, SMS Medical College and the attached group of hospitals, Jaipur, our research team explored patterns in 150 AMS patients from June

Abstract:
Background: Altered sensorium poses a significant and challenging diagnostic task for emergency physicians in managing patients promptly. Non-traumatic causes of altered mental status are diverse and require compre-hensive clinical knowledge for effective management in the emergency room (ER), aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality. Therefore, understanding the clinical profile, triaging, treatment, and outcomes is crucial to op-timize ER resources, especially in settings with limited resources.

Abstract:
Altered mental status (AMS) is a common symptom in geriatric patients, especially in the long-term care setting. Traditionally, AMS has been associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in older people. However, data correlating UTIs with AMS are lacking. For this reason, asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) guidelines do not recommend using non-specific symptoms, such as AMS, to indicate a potential diagnosis of UTI. It is important to distinguish between colonization and infection, which can be done through proper interpretation of a urine analysis in the presence of UTI-specific symptomatology

The study population included admitted patients aged ≥18 years with exposure to an AMS risk–inducing medication within the first 5 hospitalization days.

Abstract:
Hepatic encephalopathy represents a continuum of neuropsychiatric symptoms among patients with end-stage liver disease. When a patient with cirrhosis presents with altered mental status (AMS), routine neurologic imaging is not typically recommended, due to low diagnostic yield. Guidance from the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease states that, on initial presentation, brain imaging is not required unless there are other signs of intracranial pathology, including focal neurologic deficits.

Methods: We reviewed the records of 100 patients admitted to the NSICU between 2015 and 2020 who underwent continous electroencephalograms (cEEG) during workup of unexplained AMS.

Abstract:
In recent years, several new oral anticancer drugs have been approved, many via an accelerated approval process. These new agents have the potential for drug interactions, but lack of familiarity with these drugs by clinicians may increase the risk for drug interactions. We describe an interaction between the new anticancer agent idelalisib (CYP 3A4 inhibitor) and diazepam (CYP 3A4 substrate) that resulted in altered mental status and type II respiratory failure resulting in hospitalization. After discontinuation of both agents, the patient recovered quickly. Idelalisib was reinitiated after d

Achievement of patients’ pre-morbid functional level or improvement of their functional ability is a major postoperative goal for orthopaedic surgical patients. A change in a patient’s mental state has a multifactorial aetiology which can impact patient outcomes and influence the delivery of care. Patient mobilisation is a role shared by both nurses and physiotherapists. Mobilising orthopaedic patients with altered mental status require both professional groups to work in close collaboration.

Abstract:
Altered mental status (AMS) is a common presenting symptom or complication in hospitalized patients. The etiology of AMS includes potential primary neurologic entities as well as systemic disturbances such as infection, intoxication, or metabolic derangement. A systematic and rapid evaluation of potentially life threatening conditions is necessary to guide appropriate management. Seizures (particularly non-convulsive episodes) are an important cause of AMS frequently encountered in acutely ill patients with multiple medical comorbidities and need to be recognized and treated early to minimize
