OBJECTIVE
To develop a prediction model for withdrawal seizures (WS) and delirium tremens (DT) during moderate to severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) in a large cohort of inpatients treated for AWS (n = 827).
METHODS
Re-analysis of a cohort study population treated between 2000 and 2009. All
Up to now, clinical predictors for the course of the alcohol withdrawal syndrome, especially for the occurrence of a delirium, are lacking. Thus, this study was undertaken to examine whether clinical routine investigations at admission before the withdrawal syndrome can reveal factors indicating a
BACKGROUND
The aim was to identify potential risk factors for lethal outcome in patients with delirium tremens (DT) treated in the psychiatric setting.
METHODS
In a nested case-control study, a total of 190 medical records of patients with DT hospitalized at the Psychiatric Clinic in Serbia between
An intensive 1-year study was carried out on 41 male patients, mean age 49, mean hospitalization time 49 days, admitted to a special ward of the Beckomberga Hospital with the diagnosis of delirium tremens and 50 concomitant somatic and psychiatric diagnoses (1--9 per capita), and given a
Serial analyses of serum potassium and plasma epinephrine, norepinephrine and adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) concentrations were measured in 13 patients with alcohol withdrawal, six of whom presented delirium tremens. Patients with delirium showed at admission levels of potassium
Serum-potassium was determined daily in 37 chronic alcoholics when alcohol was withdrawn on admission to hospital. Serum-potassium was normal in all patients at admission but in 26 patients in whom delirium tremens developed a contiuing decrease in serum-potassium led to hypokalaemia, (mean 2.9
Ventricular irritability and ventricular fibrillation developed in an alcoholic patient who had withdrawal seizures and delirium tremens; he was successfully resuscitated. Potassium and magnesium level were low; therefore replacement of these electrolytes was carried out, as well as intravenous
Alcoholism is widespread and a complicated problem in society. Examining alcoholic patients in emergency rooms it is noted that some of them develop delirium tremens. Usually this syndrome is frequent and has a good prognosis. However, some delirium tremens patients have bad prognosis showing
The objective of the present work was to assess the most frequent disorder of the acid-base equilibrium in delirium tremens. The author examined a group of 77 alcoholics with delirium tremens. In 62 (80.5%) by the Astrup method respiratory alkalosis was detected, in 7 (9%) metabolic alkalosis was
It is well established that changes in fluid and electrolyte homeostasis may accompany and are likely to modify the clinical symptoms of alcohol withdrawal reactions. It was of obvious theoretical and practical interest, therefore, to investigate the changes in the secretion of hormones which
The use of gas chromatography (GC) for the determination of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide-octanol partition coefficients (log P) for a wide variety of ethylamines is demonstrated. The conventional shake-flask procedure (SFP) is utilized, with the addition of an internal reference, which is cleanly
BACKGROUND
The development of clean or novel alternative energy has become a global trend that will shape the future of energy. In the present study, 3 microbial strains with different oxygen requirements, including Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824, Enterobacter cloacae ATCC 13047 and
