Symptoms, toxicities, and analytical results for a patient after smoking herbs containing the novel synthetic cannabinoid MAM-2201
We report a case of intoxication by the synthetic cannabinoid MAM-2201 ([1-(5-fluoropentyl)-1H-indol-3-yl](4-methyl-1-naphthalenyl)-methanone). A 31-year-old man smoked about 300mg of a herbal blend. He experienced an acute transient psychotic state with agitation, aggression, anxiety, and vomiting associated with a sympathomimetic syndrome. MAM-2201 was detected and quantified in a plasma sample using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). The level was 49ng/ml 1h after smoking. The use of other drugs was analytically excluded. The presence of MAM-2201 was confirmed in the herbal blend using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and LC-high resolution MS. This is the first description of an analytically confirmed intoxication and of the determination of MAM-2201 in human blood plasm

Pneumomediastinum in Blunt Chest Trauma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Blunt trauma is the most common mechanism of injury in patients with pneumomediastinum and may occur in up to 10% of patients with severe blunt thoracic and cervical trauma. In this case report we present a 24-year-old man with pneumomediastinum due to blunt chest trauma after jumping from a bridge into a river. He complained of persistent retrosternal pain with exacerbation during deep inspiration. Physical examination showed only a slight tenderness of the sternum and the extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (e-FAST) was normal. Pneumomediastinum was suspected by chest X-ray and confirmed by computed tomography, which showed a lung contusion as probable cause of the pneumomediastinum due to the “Mackling effect.” Sonographic findings consistent with pneumomediastinum, like the “air gap” sign, are helpful for quick bedside diagnosis, but the diagnostic criteria are not yet as well established as for pneumothorax. This present case shows that despite minimal findings in physical examination and a normal e-FAST a pneumomediastinum is still possible in a patient with chest pain after blunt chest trauma. Therefore, pneumomediastinum should always be considered to prevent missing major aerodigestive injuries, which can be associated with a high mortality rate
The Neurocardiogenic Spectrum in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
A 36-year-old man was brought to our emergency department after successful resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with the whole spectrum of neurocardiogenic effects in subarachnoid hemorrhage: electrocardiographic changes, regional wall motion abnormalities, and elevations of cardiac enzymes. Coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries but showed the midventricular type of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in the left ventriculography. Subsequently, cerebral computed tomography revealed diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage and generalized cerebral edema with brain herniation. Brain death was diagnosed. This case highlights the possibility of an acute cerebral illness (especially subarachnoid hemorrhage) as an underlying cause of cardiac abnormalities mimicking myocardial ischemia
