For several hours after exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, there is diminished responsiveness to repeated challenge. The mechanism causing this refractoriness is unclear. Inhalation of dry powder mannitol is a new bronchial provocation test that has been suggested as a surrogate for an exercise
Ciguatera poisoning develops after ingestion of certain coral reef-associated fish. With travel to and from the tropics and importation of tropical food fish increasing, ciguatera has begun to appear in temperate countries with more frequency. The causative agents are certain varieties of the
Three groups of NZW rabbits were studied to examine the role of free radical scavengers in preventing diaphragm injury produced by inspiratory resistive load (IRL): control, IRL, and scavenger groups. An IRL (Pao: 45-55 cm H2O) was applied to the IRL and the scavenger groups on Day 1. Free radical
OBJECTIVE

BACKGROUND
Brain metastasis is a common disease with a poor prognosis. The purpose of this study is to test feasibility and safety of the animal models for brain metastases and to use dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to enhance detection of brain
A 43-year-old woman complained of colicky abdominal pain, followed by numbness, myalgias, and muscle weakness in the four limbs after eating a grouper (Epinepheius spp.). She presented to our hospital 36 hours later with increased myalgias, muscle weakness, and malaise. On examination, the muscle
Intravascular lymphomatosis is a neoplastic multisystemic disease; it is a rare subtype of diffuse large cell lymphoma characterized by the presence of lymphoma cells in the lumina of small vessels. A 49-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine for fatigue, night
We report a case of a 46-year-old female demonstrating general fatigue and visual disturbances with retinal bleeding. She had a white blood cell count of 419,300/mm. Thereafter, she developed vomiting associated with vertigo caused by cerebellar hemorrhage, deteriorating to acute hydrocephalus
Ciguatera poisoning, a toxinological syndrome comprising an enigmatic mixture of gastrointestinal, neurocutaneous and constitutional symptoms, is a common food-borne illness related to contaminated fish consumption. As many as 50000 cases worldwide are reported annually, and the condition is endemic
Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a cardinal predictive symptom in the definition of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). If the cases overexert themselves they have what is termed "payback" resulting in a worsening of symptoms or relapse which can last for days,
