Herbal medicine adverse effect, plus 21 other Hurley publications first half of 2023
Wednesday, August 2, 2023
When one Flint-area resident used kratom - an herbal supplement derived from an evergreen tree in the coffee family and often consumed as tea, smoked, or chewed - he never expected it to cause difficulty breathing. But acute respiratory distress syndrome brought him to Hurley Medical Center, where his team of physicians figured out the problem fast enough to save his life, despite some challenges on his road to recovery.
That case was described by six resident physicians and faculty members at Hurley Medical Center, and it was published in the European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine in March of 2023, with the lead author of Justine Chinnappan MD, a second-year Internal Medicine resident physician at the time. The conclusion: Physicians need to be aware of the increasing use of kratom and its various serious side effects.
That paper is just one example of the type of scholarly activity at Hurley Medical Center. See more details about it - and 21 others - below, with Hurley-affiliated authors in bold.
