Abstract:
Some environmental views characterise the human abuse of nature as an offence against nature itself. What conception of nature would best fit that characterisation? To focus upon such a conception, aesthetic offences against nature are examined and distinguished at the outset from moral offences. Aesthetic offences are divided into those internal to our cultural outlook and external to it. The external outlook, conceiving nature as a thing wholly apart from us, is shown to be necessary to any view of nature being offended against. Central to the external outlook is a conception of nature as th

Abstract:
Many cases of cutaneous vasculitis are druginduced with histology revealing leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV). We present a case of levofloxacin- associated LCV successfully treated with prednisone and cessation of the offending drug. Although case reports describe a link between LCV and older fluoroquinolones, such as ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin, recent reports have implicated the newer fluoroquinolone levofloxacin. Recognition of fluoroquinoloneinduced cutaneous vasculitis is important as continuation or re-exposure of the offending agent may have life-threatening consequences.

Over-the-counter products rarely cause unwanted reactions in the oral cavity. Oral reactions to these agents are not specific and might present with various clinical oral findings. Detailed medical history is a key to the proper diagnosis of these lesions and fortunately other diagnostic procedures are rarely needed. Lesions are usually managed with elimination of the offending agent and with topical steroids. In more severe cases systemic steroids should be applied.

It can present with autonomic signs, neuromuscular changes and an altered mental status. However, history and clinical examination are key features to formulate the diagnosis.

Abstract:
Background The development of angioedema is a rare yet serious clinical event that may develop due to an adverse drug reaction. Rapid recognition and treatment of this adverse reaction is critical for optimal patient outcomes; however, prevention of this occurrence is preferred. Case report A 59-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with lingual angioedema caused by the addition of everolimus to her medication regimen. The patient improved after withdrawal of the offending agent and standard treatment. Early recognition by healthcare providers and management of everolimus-induce

Abstract:
Meningitis whether bacterial or viral, poses many challenges to clinicians as the causative agent is often not found. According to guidelines, it is standard to start empiric treatment before a Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) sample is obtained. Meningitis, if not diagnosed and treated early, can lead to high morbidity and mortality rates with serious neurological sequelae. While the most common cases of bacterial meningitis are related to Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis, this clinical case report found a rare case of meningitis caused by a zoonotic pathogen, Capnocytophaga canim

These reactions are rare and can be life-threatening, with the common signs being hypotension, hypoxia, elevated airway pressures and urticaria. Perioperative anaphylaxis can be mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) or non-IgE mechanisms. Globally, the incidence of reactions and frequency of specific triggers varies considerably.

Chronic urticaria should be dealt with extreme caution and careful elicitation of history for the offending agent should be taken in a case of urticaria which poses as a diagnostic dilemma.

Abstract:
Fixed drug eruptions (FDE) are cutaneous adverse drug reaction characterized by well demarcated erythematous plaques which on removal of the offending agent resolves with residual hyperpigmentation patches at the site. FDE to nitroimidazoles and fluoroquinolones have nevertheless been infrequently reported. Awareness about the adverse reaction to the fluoroquinolone-nitroimidazole combination drug and also the likelihood of recurrence with same or similar drugs and the possible cross reaction is eminent. Hereby we report one such case of FDE to ciprofloxacin/tinidazole combination.

Abstract:
Angioedema is potentially life-threating swelling of integument and mucosa that has multiple potential aetiologies with varying mechanisms. Drug-induced angioedema is often easily correlated with the offending agent and can be prevented with discontinuation of the medication. Many medications have now been implicated in drug-induced angioedema but the two most common are ACE inhibitors and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This case highlights severe angioedema secondary to celecoxib and reviews varying aetiologies of angioedema and NSAID hypersensitivity reactions.

Abstract Purpose Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) that progresses to acute liver failure (ALF) has a high mortality rate, and therapeutic options are limited. Acetylcysteine has a labeled indication for use as an antidote for acetaminophen toxicity and has also been used with limited success in treatment of non–acetaminophen-induced liver injury, with small clinical trials indicating an increase in transplant-free survival. Recommendations for management of non–acetaminophen-induced DILI include withdrawal of the offending agent and supportive care. Treatment guidelines generally discourage a

Encephalopathy is a rare side effect of third and fourth generation cephalosporins. Renal failure and preexisting neurological disease are notable risk factors.

ABSTRACT Drug-induced liver injury is one of the most common causes of acute liver failure in the Western world. Despite discontinuation of the offending agent, it can still tax a grim prognosis. We describe a case of a menopausal woman taking a herbal supplement called “Provitalize” to relieve hot flashes and bloating. This is the first case report of liver injury from this supplement. She initially presented with mild jaundice and elevated transaminases. Unfortunately, she rapidly progressed to encephalopathy, experienced multiorgan failure, and then died.
