rhabdomyolysis/triglyceride

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular diseases affect more than 5% of the population in Western countries. Some of the more rare neuromuscular disorders are patients with metabolic myopathies, which are hereditary disorders caused by enzymatic defects of intermediary metabolism. The disorders are generally

Introduction Statins are widely used in the treatment and prevention of lipid metabolism disorders. They are generally well tolerated but not devoid of side effects. These include, among others, muscular symptoms, arthritis, headaches, gynecomastia. Myositis and rhabdomyolysis associated with

Progression of GO from mild-moderate to severe disease: Criteria for start of treatment with corticosteroids, retrobulbar irradiation, or orbital decompression are severe soft tissue swelling (NO SPECS class 2c), risk of corneal ulcers with or without exophthalmos, double vision within 30 degrees,

Dexmedetomidine is a potent selective α-2-adrenergic receptor agonist frequently used for sedation in the ICU, also among critically ill patients. It promotes sedation, anxiolysis, and moderate analgesia with minimal respiratory depression. Sedation of ICU patients remains challenging for doctors

Patients >18 years of age who were admitted to the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit of the Cardiology Hospital, National Medical Center, Century XXI (Mexico City) and diagnosed with ST segment elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and hyperfibrinogenemia within 72 h of symptom onset were

A randomized,crossover study design with 2 periods was used. The washout time between the periods was 4 days. In first period, 600 mg red yeast rice capsule (LipoCol) was administered orally with 240 mL water at 8 AM. In second period, subjects took 600 mg gemfibrozil (two Lopid 300-mg capsule) at 7

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of mortality in chronic kidney disease, including peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. While survival has not been shown to differ between peritoneal and hemodialysis, because of glucose uptake from the dialysate PD patients are more prone to

Background and research aim: Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPTII) and very-long chain acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiencies are the two most common inherited disorders of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in adults, both inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Mitochondrial FAO

The study is a randomised, multicentre, placebo-controlled, 2-arm, parallel group, phase III, intervention study. Following randomisation at visit 1, subjects will receive 20 weeks of treatment with niacin or placebo. The research question is: niacin therapy effective in lowering elevated

The main specific aim of this study will be to determine the efficiency of odd-chain MCT: TRIHEPTANOIN (Tri-C7) and its metabolites, BETA-HYDROXYPENTANOATE (BHP) and BETA-KETOPENTANOATE (BKP), as potential treatments by orale or enteral routes. These compounds are efficiently used for energy
