Hiccups differential diagnosis is a challenging one often being inconclusive and sometimes attributed to malignancies, and so of extreme importance to an internist. Seventy-five-year-old man with history of alcohol abuse, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia presented to the emergency department after
BACKGROUND
Hypothalamic lesions in neuromyelitis optica (NMO) patients might be more specific for NMO than multiple sclerosis (MS). However, this is controversial.
OBJECTIVE
To characterize clinical features of patients with inflammatory demyelinating disorders (IDDs) with visible hypothalamic
Neuromyelitis optica is an inflammatory CNS syndrome that is associated with serum aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G antibodies (AQP4-IgG). According to the new diagnostic criteria the term NMO is replaced by the term NMOSD and for the first time criteria allow diagnosis in patients who have not
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to summarize the clinical features of patients who presented intractable hiccup (IH) without brain and medulla oblongata (MO) lesions.
METHODS
This study included six patients who were diagnosed with inflammatory demyelinating myelitis, categorized as neuromyelitis optica
Hiccoughs (singultus) are a complex physiological process characterized by sudden brief involuntary contractions of the diaphragm. They most commonly occur from peripheral mechanisms that result in diaphragmatic irritation, but also occur from brain stem lesions such as that seen in Wallenberg's
Tick-borne diseases (Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis) are becoming a major public health concern. Rapid and correct diagnosis is crucial for complicated cases but is often delayed because of low suspicion or unusual clinical presentation. In this paper the authors describe two Hiccup is the sudden onset of erratic diaphragmatic and intercostal muscle contraction and immediately followed by laryngeal closure. The abrupt air rush into lungs elicits a "hic" sound. Hiccup is usually a self-limited disorder; however, when it is prolonged beyond 48 hours, it is considered
Neuromyelitis optica is an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system. It involves the immune-mediated demyelination of predominantly the optic nerves and the spinal cord, which can lead to optic neuritis and transverse myelitis, respectively. Patients usually present with symptoms related
The author recently encountered a patient with hiccups, intermittently accompanied by apparent focal rhythmic diaphragmatic myoclonus after hydrocodone administration. Review of the literature disclosed a paucity of previous reports of hiccup, but many reports of myoclonus after opiate
BACKGROUND
Costus speciosus (Koen ex. Retz.) Sm. (crepe ginger, family Costaceae) is an ornamental plant used in traditional medicine for the treatment of inflammation, rheumatism, bronchitis, fever, headache, asthma, flatulence, constipation, helminthiasis, leprosy, skin diseases, hiccough, anemia,
Hiccup is a sudden contraction of the inspiratory muscles, followed by an abrupt closure of the glottis, thus producing a characteristic sound. Some drugs have been reported to induce hiccup. Using the French Pharmacovigilance Database, the aim of the present study was to investigate reports of such
The report present a study of a case of a 38 year old man, suffering from massive haemorrhage from esophagus on the 21st day after performed laryngectomy. Serious difficulties occurred at first in specifying the exact sources of haemorrhage (cervical vessel, gastric ulcer?). The surgical assessment
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical characteristics and sera anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody positivity in patients with inflammatory demyelinating disorders (IDDs) of the central nervous system (CNS) in Tianjin, China.
METHODS
We retrospectively evaluated 234 patients with IDDs including
The occurrence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO) in a single patient is exceedingly rare. We report a case of a 54-year-old woman of East Asian descent with a prior diagnosis of ALS who developed an episode of unexplained hiccups and nausea and vomiting consistent
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory disease of central nervous system classically characterized by acute, severe episodes of optic neuritis and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis, usually with a relapsing course. The identification of an autoantibody exclusively detected in NMO
