The answer to yesterday’s #ClinicalChallenge question is: D. Xylazine overdose has caused major toxicity consisting of coma, apnea, bradycardia, and hypotension after inhalation or intravenous administration with heroin or illicit fentanyl. However, compared with opioid overdose alone, overdose of xylazine and an opioid was associated with a lower risk of cardiac arrest or coma in one multicenter cohort study. Severe, necrotic skin ulcerations (picture 1) and skin abscesses have also occurred after repeated parenteral use. Xylazine withdrawal has been described but there are no established diagnostic criteria; clinical findings overlap with those seen in patients with opioid withdrawal.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently approved the Aurlumyn injection (iloprost) for treating severe frostbite in adults, representing a significant advancement in frostbite management. Aurlumyn, which functions as a vasodilator, has been effective in reducing the need for amputation in serious frostbite cases by enhancing blood circulation to the affected areas. Results from a randomised trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine showed patients on Aurlumyn had significant outcomes, with no amputations required, unlike in other groups. Despite some common side effects like headaches and nausea, and warnings about hypotension, the drug's ability to avert major amputations highlights its substantial benefits.

Germany Approves Healthy Heart Law, Emphasizing Balanced Approach to Cardiovascular Care Prof. Josef Hecken, the independent chair of the G-BA, strongly supports the amendments to Germany's Healthy Heart Law, emphasizing that the legislation effectively balances early detection of cardiovascular risks with the prevention of a shift towards state-controlled healthcare. The G-BA is tasked with regulating key aspects of the law, including setting thresholds for statin prescriptions and expanding preventive screenings for genetically predisposed children and at-risk adults. While endorsing the law's focus on early detection, Prof. Hecken expressed concern that primary prevention, such as promoting healthier lifestyles, is not given enough emphasis, arguing that it could be more effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases than lifelong medication. The G-BA will play a critical role in implementing these provisions, ensuring that decisions are evidence-based and beneficial to patients.
