Twenty pigs, known to be malignant hyperthermia (MH)-susceptible by previous MH-positive [MH(+)] reactions to halothane testing, were given 5 inhalant anesthetics. The number of MH(+) responses evoked by the different anesthetics varied. In response to halothane, isoflurane, and enflurane, MH(+)
Correlation between glucose level in blood and liver mitochondrial energetics of 1, 10, 20-days rats under hyperglycemia and high environmental temperature (38 degrees C) has been studied. Glucose feeding led to a significant increase of glucose content in blood, this increase being less at
Skeletal muscle sarcolemma (SL), transverse tubule (TT) and heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (HSR) membranes were isolated from malignant hyperthermia susceptible (MHS) and normal pigs, and the rotational dynamics of lipid hydrocarbon chain motion was examined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)
Hydrocarbon pneumonitis is usually related to accidental poisoning in children. We describe a case of hydrocarbon pneumonitis after petroleum aspiration in an adult fire eater. The main symptoms were cough, dyspnea, chest pain and fever. The patient showed bilateral infiltrates in the middle and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the types of hydrocarbon ingested by children and identify factors associated with hydrocarbons ingestion.
METHODS
It was a hospital based case control study in which medical records of sixty seven children with hydrocarbon ingestion, admitted through emergency department
Objectives: Hydrocarbon intoxication in children still occurs, although it is preventable. It may cause a variety of clinical manifestations, involving the respiratory system and the nervous system. Our goal was to investigate all cases of hydrocarbon poisoning in
A 20-year-old woman was exposed to a kerosene mist for five days at an insecticide manufacturing facility. She had shortness of breath, fever, severe hypoxemia, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates, and a notable reduction of diffusion capacity/total lung capacity ratio. Her symptoms and roentgenographic
A 30-year-old male fire eater presented following aspiration of hydrocarbon fuel during a performance. A plain chest radiograph carried out 2 h after aspiration showed left lower lobe consolidation. The patient subsequently developed worsening shortness of breath, haemoptysis, fever and myalgia and
Accidental hydrocarbon ingestion may lead to aspiration and chemical pneumonitis in children. In this review article, the clinical course of hydrocarbon pneumonitis, chest radiographic abnormalities, complications, and treatment interventions are summarized. Most children remain asymptomatic and
Most of the accidentally intoxicated children who are admitted into hospital have swallowed volatile hydrocarbons. The ingested products are either aliphatic hydrocarbons, whether white spirit or petrol, or aromatic hydrocarbons. We have collected informations upon 57 children admitted into the
BACKGROUND
Hydrocarbon pneumonitis is an acute, intense pneumonitis resulting from aspiration of volatile hydrocarbon compounds with low viscosity and surface tension, most of which are members of the paraffin, naphthene and aromatic classes.
METHODS
Six hours after participating in a party for
Accidental ingestion and aspiration of hydrocarbons in children are common. Among the various clinical and pathological manifestations of hydrocarbon (HC) poisoning, pneumonitis is the most significant and occurs in up to 40% of children, whereas formation of pneumatoceles is believed to be a rare
Culex pipiens is a main vector for Bancroftian filariasis, Rift Valley Fever and diseases caused by other viruses, leaving several peoples with disabilities. In recent years, plant derived compounds have received much attention as potential alternatives to synthetic chemicals due to their low
The plant Houttuynia cordata, which is called "dokudami" in Japanese, is known as a potent antioxidant herb that has been traditionally consumed as a folk medicine for various ailments, such as diabetes, obesity, cough, fever and skin diseases, in Asia. However, its antioxidant mechanism remains
Hyperthermia has been used to treat cancer in the liver. However, significant hepatotoxicity occurs at a therapeutic temperature of 42-43 degrees C. We have proposed that heat toxicity is the result of oxidative stress from superoxide generation with resultant lipid peroxidation. Further, iron
