An article I co-authored with Dr. Kara Margolis, Director of the NYU Pain Research Center, was recently published in an edition of the Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology. “Considerations for Treating Autistic Individuals in Gastroenterology Clinics” summarizes the research over these many years confirming gastrointestinal problems are one of the most common comorbidities in autistic individuals, presenting with more than four times increased risk compared with non-autistic children.  In this brief article, Dr. Margolis and I outline a patient visit and what a healthcare provider should review with the patient's family or caregivers including diet, over-the-counter medications, nutritional supplements, changes in the individual’s living environment and other questions. Having worked with this population for many years, we offer guidelines on planning a visit to the clinic that can help minimize a patient’s anxiety using visual schedules and social stories that may include pictures of the clinic and the staff.

Did you know that the emergency measure for battery ingestion is... honey? 🍯 Small battery ingestion is an ever-present risk for small children due to their exploratory behavior and access to batteries in battery-operated toys, (grand)parents' hearing aids and watches, and more. If battery ingestion is suspected, vomiting should NOT be induced and honey should be administered as soon as possible WHILE EN ROUTE to the nearest emergency room. Honey should be given as 10 mL (2 teaspoons) by mouth every 10 minutes for up to 6 doses. Caveats: Honey should be given if the child is older than 12 months, is able to swallow and the battery was ingested within the prior 12 hours. Other than honey, the patient should not eat/drink anything else until arriving to the ER. Also note that administration of honey should NOT delay arrival to the ER, nor should it be considered a substitute for battery removal. The patient must be brought for medical examination as soon as possible! Why give honey? Honey is administered to coat the battery and prevent local generation of hydroxide, thereby delaying alkaline burns to adjacent tissue.

Multivitamin Supplements Don't Help You Live Longer, Major Study Shows: A study from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) analyzed data from nearly 400,000 healthy adults over 20 years and determined that "multivitamin use to improve longevity is not supported." The findings were published in JAMA Network Open. ABC News reports: The study found no evidence that daily multivitamin consumption reduced the risk of death from conditions such as heart disease or cancer. Rather than living longer, otherwise healthy people who took daily multivitamins were slightly more likely (4%) than non-users to die in the study period, according to researchers. Researchers reported nearly 165,000 deaths occurring during the follow-up period of the study, out of the initial group of 390,000 participants. The study, however, did not analyze data from people with pre-existing vitamin deficiencies. "What this study shows is that, generally, multivitamins aren't going to help you live longer," Dr. Jade A Cobern, MD, MPH, board-certified physician in pediatrics and general preventive medicine, told ABC News. "Even though the cost of many multivitamins isn't high, this is still an expense that many people can be spared from." Read more of this story at Slashdot.
