Post-surgical: after frontal sinus reconstruction

Diagnosis
Diagnosis is suspected clinically and is confirmed using cross sectional imaging of the sinuses and brain. The patient typically presents with a headache overlying the frontal sinuses and an associated forehead swelling. This is often preceded by a history of chronic rhinosinusitis.Plain X Rays can be used to demonstrate the location of this swelling, but the gold standard for diagnosis is a cross sectional CT scan of the sinuses and brain, aided by contrast to delineate the abscess itself. Treatment
The patient requires admission for intravenous anti-microbial treatment. Definitively, the abscess is drained via a combination of open and/or endoscopic approaches by an otolaryngologist, with the exact approach dependent on surgical skill set. At the very least, the abscess is trephined externally as an emergency. Any associated frontal sinus table fracture can be managed electively. Intracranial extension requires referral to the neurosurgery. References

This advisory was based on a review of anti-smoking products that identified 75 reports of "suicidal adverse events" for bupropion over ten years. Based on the results of follow-up trials this warning was removed in 2016.In 2012, the U.S. Justice Department announced that GlaxoSmithKline had agreed to plead guilty and pay a $3-billion fine, in part for promoting the unapproved use of Wellbutrin for weight loss and sexual dysfunction.In 2017, the European Medicines Agency recommended suspending a number of nationally approved medicines due to misrepresentation of bioequivalence study data by Micro Therapeutic Research Labs in India. The products recommended for suspension included several 300 mg modified-release bupropion tablets. Society and culture
Recreational use
While bupropion demonstrates some potential for misuse, this potential is less than of other commonly used stimulants, being limited by features of its pharmacology. Bupropion misuse is uncommon. There have been a number of anecdotal and case-study reports of bupropion abuse, but the bulk of evidence indicates that the subjective effects of bupropion when taken orally are markedly different from those of addictive stimulants such as cocaine or amphetamine. However, bupropion, by non-conventional routes of administration like injection or insufflation has been reported to be misused in the United States and Canada, notably in prisons. Legal status
In Russia bupropion is banned as a narcotic drug, yet not per se but rather as a derivative of methcathinone. In Australia and the UK, smoking cessation is the only licensed use of bupropion. References
