BACKGROUND
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is rare in Caucasian populations, but affects approximately 2% of East Asians with thyrotoxicosis (13% of males, 0.17% of females). The presentation is characterized by abrupt-onset hypokalemia and profound proximal muscular weakness, and commonly occurs
BACKGROUND
To evaluate the effects of severe hypoglycemia without hypokalemia on the electrocardiogram in patients with type 2 diabetes in real-life conditions.
METHODS
Electrocardiograms of adult type 2 diabetic patients during the episodes of severe hypoglycemia and the recovered stage were
BACKGROUND
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a variant of periodic paralysis (PP) that occurs in patients with underlying mutations in genes for cation channels, if they develop thyrotoxicosis. It is disabling, and fatalities sometimes occur. Here, we present a patient with TPP who developed
OBJECTIVE
Bowel preparation with oral sodium phosphate can cause symptomatic dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. This randomized, controlled trial was designed to evaluate whether carbohydrate-electrolyte (E-Lyte) solution enhanced bowel preparation and improved patient acceptance with oral
The control of cellular metabolism is present in many organs and tissues and its loss means development of hypo- and hyperglycemia. The high level of glucose results in glycation of proteins and increase of concentration of ketoaldehyde and methyl glyoxal in cells. The increase of level of this
Long-term thiazide diuretic therapy for hypertension is associated with disturbances in carbohydrate, lipid, and potassium metabolism that theoretically may have serious adverse effects. It appears that diuretic-induced hypokalemia interferes with production of insulin, producing mild elevations of
Ammonium excretion was investigated in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive control rats (WKY) ingesting different diets. SHR and WKY on low protein-high sucrose diets surprisingly showed the same ammonium excretion as rats ingesting a higher protein-lower sucrose diet. This was
In preparing for competitive body building, body builders--in addition to continuous and hard muscle training--engage in stringent dietetic manipulations: the first few months of hypercaloric nutrition, rich in proteins, are devoted to the build-up of muscle mass. A second phase of reduced caloric
Increases in metabolic rate, heart rate and ventilation occur following carbohydrate feeding or during beta sympathetic stimulation. Furthermore, insulin secretion and hypokalemia are features common to both which raises the question as to whether these effects of carbohydrate depend upon an intact
This article reports a 29-year-old man who came to the Emergency Department because of sudden onset of bilateral lower extremity weakness and inability to walk after intake of a high carbohydrate meal and alcohol. He was found to have severe hypokalemia, with K(+) level at 1.7 mmol/L. However, after
Thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis is an uncommon disorder characterized by elevated thyroid hormone, muscle weakness or paralysis, and intracellular shifts of potassium leading to hypokalemia. This article presents a case of thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis in a 22-year old Hispanic
The effect of rapid weight reduction with supplemented fasting was studied in a group of 46 individuals with moderate to severe obesity. The preparation used contained a mixture of protein, carbohydrate, and essential fatty acids providing 420 kcal daily. It was supplemented with a complement of
