A 92-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to hypertension, nausea, pain in the anterior part of the chest, epigastralgia, and tachypnea. During the initial examination of the patient in the emergency ward, she was very excited, howled, and both her hands were numb. Arterial blood gas
BACKGROUND
Isocapnic hyperventilation (IHV) shortens recovery time after inhalation anaesthesia by increasing ventilation while maintaining a normal airway carbon dioxide (CO2 )-level. One way of performing IHV is to infuse CO2 to the inspiratory limb of a breathing circuit during mechanical
Hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) often occurs under stressful conditions, and has been reported during or after anesthesia and operation. HVS, characterized by multiple somatic symptoms and electrolyte imbalances induced by inappropriate hyperventilation, should be managed as an emergency. We report
To explore the Nijmegen Questionnaire (NQ) and its relationship to vestibular function tests and symptoms in patients with dizziness; to compare patient characteristics between those with a positive Nijmegen score and patients clinically diagnosed with hyperventilation syndrome BACKGROUND
In motion sickness desensitization programs, the motion sickness provocative stimulus is often a forward bending of the trunk on a rotating chair, inducing Coriolis effects. Since respiratory relaxation techniques are applied successfully in these courses, we investigated whether these
The characteristics of hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) were studied in 508 patients who visited our hospital over 11 years. Information regarding symptoms and laboratory data was collected from the clinical records, and outcome was surveyed with a questionnaire mailed to all patients. Patients with
The present investigation was designed to examine panic symptom experience in patients with chest pain of nonorganic etiology, using a hyperventilation provocation procedure. Given the recent focus on panic disorder in patients with nonorganic chest pain, we assessed three indices of physiological
Preoperative prolonged fasting may cause starvation ketoacidosis. Herein, we report of a case of starvation ketoacidosis due to long-term fasting before surgery.We report of a case of metabolic acidosis due to prolonged fasting in a previously healthy OBJECTIVE
Fragmented blood transfusion services along with an unmotivated blood donation culture often leads to blood shortage. Donor retention is crucial to meet the increasing blood demand, and adverse donor reactions have a negative impact on donor return. The aim of this study was to estimate
Psychogenic epidemics cover various forms of collective behavior and include mass hysteria, mass psychogenic illness, and hysterical contagion for which no physical explanation can be found. The typical course of a psychogenic epidemic at a workplace progresses from sudden onset, often with dramatic
A 53-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital for chest pain with headache, nausea and vomiting, two and a half hours after an intramuscular injection of 6 x 10(6) units of IFN (interferon) alpha 2a, in the 11th week of IFN treatment for chronic hepatitis C. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed ST
BACKGROUND
Oxygen toxicity is a problem in diving and can have fatal consequences in the water. Various aspects of oxygen diving have been studied in dry hyperbaric chambers, but there is a lack of information on in-water diving using closed-circuit oxygen apparatus.
METHODS
We collected 2527 dive
We present a case of anesthesia for electroconvulsive (ECT) therapy that was complicated by emetic sensitivity to etomidate, fragile ictal threshold, and mild pseudocholinesterase deficiency. The anesthetic was designed in this patient taking all his issues in consideration. The mild
BACKGROUND
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has developed into a routine examination in many centers in cardiology. However, there is little knowledge about its applicability in outpatients as a diagnostic tool for cardiovascular diseases. We report about the experiences in a high-volume cardiac
This report reviews the biological effects and case reports of suicidal or accidental ingestion of, and occupational exposure to sodium azide. Ingested doses of sodium azide were estimated for the 6 survival and 4 fatal cases studied. The lowest dose among survival cases was 5-10 mg. The patient
