Computed tomography evaluation in rhabdomyolysis can reveal muscle necrosis and calcification. We report the computed tomography findings in acute rhabdomyolysis, secondary to hyperthermia and seizures.
We are reporting a case of endosulfan poisoning, admitted in a state of altered consciousness, vomiting, and seizure. The diagnosis was based on history, physical examination and positive reports from toxicological screening. After 8 hrs of admission, a sudden rise in EtCO(2), respiratory rate,
Five dogs, 4 of which were Greyhounds, suffered adverse effects secondary to the ingestion of spent hops. Mean time to onset of clinical signs was 3 hours, and clinical signs included marked hyperthermia, restlessness, panting, vomiting, signs of abdominal pain, and seizures. Four of the 5 dogs died
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare life threatening inherited disorder that is triggered by drugs used for general anesthesia in susceptible persons. The symptoms include rapid increase of body temperature and severe muscle contractions. The present study includes 3 cases of MH and highlights the
A 49-year-old man with no past history of malignant hyperthermia (MH) and scheduled for hernia repair was suspected of MH after local infiltration anesthesia at other hospital. Although intravenous diazepam was not effective for increased body temperature, tachycardia, and convulsion, dantrolene was
Little is known about the neurologic complications of the 2009 Influenza-A H1N1 epidemic in children. We present a retrospective analysis of children evaluated at a tertiary children's hospital who tested positive for H1N1 with neurologic complications. A total of 164 children tested positive for
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to describe the demographical and clinical characteristics, diagnostic difficulties, and morbidity and mortality in children with hyperglycaemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS).
METHODS
Retrospective cross-section descriptive study of children (<18 years of age) at an
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this review is to provide information regarding the diagnosis and natural history of some very rare disorders: congenital muscular dystrophies and congenital myopathies. Patients with these conditions share characteristics such as early onset of weakness and severe
Lamotrigine has the advantage to have an antidepressive effect and to be well tolerated in the majority of the cases. Lamotrigine, however, may exert cardiac side effects in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and latent obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract, as illustrated by the
This article provides an overview of pediatric post anesthesia care. It highlights important aspects of care that are frequently encountered in practice or have the potential for being problematic. These include airway management, fluid maintenance, the treatment of seizures, thermoregulation, the
The authors report a retrospective study of 11 cases of malignant hyperthermia. The mean age of the patients was 5 months and 3 weeks. Clinical features included severe hyperthermia (greater than 41 degrees C), seizures, coma, collapse, rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure and functional renal
OBJECTIVE
To review the structure and function of membrane ion channels with special emphasis on inherited nervous system channel disorders or channelopathies.
RESULTS
Channels are pores in the cell membrane. Through these pores ions flow across the membrane and depolarize or hyperpolarize the cell.
A 52-year-old man experienced progressive tonic-clonic activity soon after undergoing a myelogram accompanied by an intrathecal injection of Omnipaque. The activity progressed to seizures, hyperthermia, and acidosis. He was intubated, cooled, and treated symptomatically. His creatinine kinase rose
Sevoflurane may be an interesting substance for paediatric anaesthesia due to its combination of a very low blood-gas partition coefficient and non-pungency. This review discusses the status of sevoflurane in paediatric anaesthesia on the basis of studies published so far. The blood-gas partition
