alkalosis/fever

The effect of induced maternal hyperthermia (1.5 degrees C rise over 60 min) on the uterine and umbilical circulations was examined in two groups of chronically instrumented pregnant sheep. Hyperventilation occurred in both groups. In the group in which the resultant respiratory alkalosis was

Febrile seizures are frequent during early childhood, and prolonged (complex) febrile seizures are associated with an increased susceptibility to temporal lobe epilepsy. The pathophysiological consequences of febrile seizures have been extensively studied in rat pups exposed to hyperthermia. The

It was unknown whether respiratory alkalosis impacts the global cerebral metabolic response as well as the cerebral pro-oxidation and inflammatory response in passive hyperthermia. This study demonstrated that the cerebral metabolic rate was increased by ∼20% with passive hyperthermia of up to +2°C

The influence of ambient and arterial PCO2 on miduterine arterial flow of pregnant sheep acutely exposed to hot environments was investigated. Five mixed-breed ewes between 120 and 130 days of gestation were subjected to hot environments (increasing from thermoneutral 23 to 40 degrees C), and

In this study we assessed the effects of changes in pH, temperature, and their combination in whole blood on thromboelastographic variables. Blood was collected from six healthy volunteers. Thromboelastograph (TEG series 5000; Haemoscope Corporation, Illinois, USA) channels were set at temperatures

OBJECTIVE Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common type of convulsive events in children. FS are suggested to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. However, the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying FS remain unclear. Using an animal model of experimental FS, it was

In birds, hyperthermia is normally associated with panting and progressive respiratory alkalosis. The effect of respiratory alkalosis on capillary blood flow distribution was examined by artificially hyperventilating normothermic fowls, thereby dissociating it of the normally occurring concomitant

Febrile seizures (FS) are the most common type of convulsive events in children. FS have been extensively studied using animal models, where rat and mice pups are placed in a hyperthermic environment. Such work has largely focused on the consequences rather than on the mechanisms of experimental

Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is one of the common causes of tick-borne hemorrhagic infections. The study aims to report a case of a female patient with severe CCHF with pulmonary embolism.
