unconsciousness/구역질

Acute H2S (hydrogen sulfide) poisoning can cause permanent damage to the nervous system. We describe two patients with such damage. Both reported nausea, feeling unwell and irritation of the eyes during work, and have developed persistent memory problems and neurasthenic symptoms. Neither of them

Catatonia is a state of high-degree psychomotor inhibition in which patients often maintain a constant fixed posture, and generally have unconscious obstacles and various reflex preservation. Patients suffering from severe catatonia will become stiff. Catatonia generally manifests unconsciousness

Severe hyponatraemia may be cause unconsciousness, vomiting, seizures or exogenous psychosis and is associated with a high mortality. We report on a 44-year-old woman who presented with somnolence and psychomotor unrest. After rousing stimuli she showed no verbal response and did not follow any

A 29-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a 7-day history of elevated temperature to 39.5 degrees C associated with headache and nausea. She had been diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex 10 years earlier. Her unconsciousness progressed, and she was diagnosed as having aseptic

We studied the natural history of patients with a diagnosis of benign coital headache who presented to a private neurological clinic between the years 1978 and 1991. Thirty-two patients (24M, 8F) were invited to participate and 26 patients (83%) responded. The period of follow-up ranged from six

Methyl bromide is a highly toxic gas with poor olfactory warning properties. It is widely used as insecticidal fumigant for dry foodstuffs and can be toxic to central and peripheral nervous systems. Most neurological manifestations of methyl bromide intoxication occur from inhalation. Acute toxicity

A 6-year-old boy presented with prolonged periods of unconsciousness (>60 min) following nausea and dizziness while standing. The application of EEG electrodes provoked a similar episode. These apparently long periods of unconsciousness could be explained by sleep. In view of the triggers (pain,

The authors reported an interesting case of the traumatic middle meningeal arteriovenous fistula which was caused by the minor head injury on the opposite side complicated with a subarachnoid hematoma, and was completely cured 35 days after head injury without any surgical intervention. A

The purpose of this quality assurance study was to compare the practice used in the management of patients with minor head injuries (MHI) in Denmark with guidelines recommended by Danish neurosurgeons and analyse differences between hospitals in the treatment of patients with MHI. All 68 accident

In 13 patients (7 men and 6 women) aged 19-44 yrs, 28 yrs at average, suffering symptoms of giddiness, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness, the functional state of brain, using electroencephalography, was investigated. In 62% patients, according to the background electroencephalography data, the total

Symptomatic hypotension (maternal nausea, vomiting, dizziness and dyspnoea) during spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery remains a prevalent clinical problem. Severe and sustained hypotension can lead to impairment of uteroplacental perfusion, foetal hypoxia, acidosis, neonatal depression and

A 78-year-old woman had undergone total gastrectomy and chemotherapy for gastric cancer (pT4N3bM0 Stage IIIC, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma). She received S-1 monotherapy 3 times weekly (S-1 at 80mg twice daily for 14 days, every 3 weeks). She underwent routine examinations, including tumor

BACKGROUND Maternal hypotension is the most frequent complication of spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section. Most workers define hypotension as a maternal systolic blood pressure below 70-80% of baseline recordings and/or an absolute value of < 90 - 100mmHg. Hypotension is often associated with

BACKGROUND Maternal hypotension is the most frequent complication of a spinal anaesthetic for caesarean section with an incidence approaching 100%. Most workers define hypotension as a maternal systolic blood pressure below 70-80% of baseline recordings and/or an absolute value of < 90 -100mmHg. The

To easily measure the depth of anaesthesia during routine surgical procedures has always been a goal in anaesthesiology. For decades, scientists have been developing indices to describe and evaluate the depth of anaesthesia. Historically, mean alveolar gas concentration (MAC) values for volatile
