Death After Marijuana Use in a 27-Year-Old Male: a Case Report

The dangers of marijuana use are well documented across most body systems. We report a 27-year-old male who ingested marijuana and then experienced an ST-elevation myocardial infarction, subsequent cerebrovascular accident, and death within the span of a week. Toxicology reports were positive for THC only, echocardiography revealed diffuse hypokinesis with an ejection fraction estimated at 15-20%, and troponins peaked at greater than 270,000 pg/mL. Due to decreased Glasgow Coma Score and hemodynamic instability, the patient was not taken for cardiac catheterization, but was subsequently sedated, intubated, and placed on pressor support in the ICU. Initial brain imaging was negative for acute intracranial process but repeat head CT on day four of hospitalization showed diffuse cerebral edema and anoxic brain injury. At the request of the family, he remained on ventilator and hemodynamic support until a nuclear perfusion scan confirmed anoxic encephalopathy. He died within five minutes of extubation on day ten of his hospital stay

Bayesian nonparametric modelling of covariance functions, with application to time series and spatial statistics

In this master thesis we propose a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimating dependency in stationary time series and in second-order stationary spatial models over continuous domains.Our main focus will be the estimation of the unknown covariance function in these models. We will apply nonparametric Bayesian methods to the problem by working with the corresponding spectral measures within the frequency domain, the reason for this is that this is an easy way to always be sure that we are only working with well-behaved and valid covariance functions (where valid means positive definite). The thesis is divided into two main parts in which we treat covariance functions for stationary Gaussian time series and isotropic covariance functions for second-order stationary Gaussian random fields separately. In both sections we will derive reasonable models, explain how we can obtain and construct flexible and subjective prior distributions and we will show that it is possible and also fairly easy to obtain posterior inference based on simulation routines. For the stationary Gaussian time series models we are also able to derive the asymptotic posterior properties for the unknown spectral measure and covariance function, by the use of the Whittle approximation and other related approximations to the full multivariate Gaussian likelihood. Some of these results become mirror results, in the Bernstein-von Mises sense, of the classical frequentist solutions

The obedient son: Deuteronomy and christology in the gospel of Matthew

This study argues that sonship and obedience are prominent and related themes in the Gospel of Matthew, and the Evangelist's christological articulation of obedient sonship is drawn from the calling of Israel to be Yahweh's obedient son in Deuteronomy. Thus, it is argued that a consideration of Israel's scriptural traditions is necessary to understand most fully Matthew's teaching of the sonship of Jesus.Chapter 1 explores Matthew's use of the OT and, building on the work of Richard Hays, outlines a method for identifying subtle intertextual allusions, and suggests a composition criticism approach to Matthew that focuses on the gospel as a literary and redactional whole.Chapter 2 seeks to establish the historical plausibility for the claim that Matthew was heavily indebted to Deuteronomy by tracing the circulation and use of Deuteronomy in general in ancient Jewish and Christian literature. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a foundation for the claim that Deuteronomy would likely have been an important text for Matthew.Chapter 3 then focuses on Deuteronomy, tracing the covenantal context for the themes of sonship and obedience. It is argued that the sonship of Israel is a key motif in Deuteronomy, and this sonship was predicated on obedience. Key texts include Deut 1; 8; 14; 21; 32, and the themes of love, election, and inheritance are also considered.Chapter 4 traces the influence of Deuteronomy under the specific rubric of obedient sonship through ancient Jewish and Christian literature, including texts which Matthew may have known. Here it is argued that obedient sonship, in association with Deuteronomic themes, is prominent in a wide range of texts.Chapters 5-7 focus specifically on Matthew. It is argued in chapter 5 that the Temptation Narrative (Matt 4.1-11), the Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5-7), and the accusation that Jesus was a glutton and a drunkard (Matt 11.16-19) all demonstrate rather strong resonances with Deuteronomy and the Deuteronomic call to obedient sonship. Chapter 6 proposes two significant possibilities: that the baptism of Jesus (Matt 3.13-17) and the Transfiguration (Matt 17.1-21) may also be influenced by the Deuteronomic perspective on sonship. Finally, chapter 7 suggests three additional clusters of texts that may also indicate Deuteronomy's filial influence on Matthew: Matt 1.20; 12.46-50; 21.28-22.14.1.20; 12.46-50; 21.28-22.14. Chapter 8 offers a conclusion and synthesis, arguing that chapters 1-4 provide the foundation for the claims in chapters 5-7. It is concluded that the Deuteronomic teaching of obedient sonship was quite pervasive in the ancient world, and there is an historically plausible case to be made that Matthew was influenced by this tradition. However, it is also argued that Matthew has appropriated the Deuteronomic concept of obedient sonship in unique ways, applying it messianically to the person of Jesus as the New Israel, and consequently also to the disciples of Jesus, who are able to be a part of God's family through Jesus, the preeminently obedient son
