As weight-loss surgery gains traction, it is pertinent to note at booking and followups. The pregnancy is at-risk and multidisciplinary team manage...
متن کاملA Case of Anterograde Amnesia with Bilateral Hippocampus Involvement After Acute Glufosinate Ammonium Intoxication

As the use of glufosinate-ammoniumcontaining herbicides has increased, so too has the incidence of acute intoxication through accidental or purposeful (attempted suicide) ingestion of...
