Propofol, a new anesthetic, is now used more commonly to sedate patients in the intensive care unit. Propofol's rapid elimination has popularized its use to induce and maintain hypnosis in patients with refractory status epilepticus. It is also associated with occasional severe metabolic acidosis
BACKGROUND
Indirect evidence suggests that hypoxia contributes to the pathophysiology of rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the cellular location and kinetics of hypoxia, as well as potential hypoxia adaptation are unclear.
METHODS
Rhabdomyolysis was induced in rats by IM
BACKGROUND
To investigate the renal pathophysiologyin rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in rats under hypoxia and deprivation of food and water (HDFW), thus broadening the knowledge about rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI in massive earthquake.
METHODS
Male Wistar rats weighing 200-230g were
Hypophosphataemic syndromes lead to appreciable morbidity and mortality. A deficiency or lack of phosphate leads to tissue hypoxia and disruption of cellular function, which may cause severe clinical complications. We present various manifestations of hypophosphataemia; in all cases, diagnosis was
Rhabdomyolysis is a potential life-threatening condition characterized by a rapid destruction of striated muscle cells. Causes include trauma, muscle hypoxia, drugs, malignant hyperthermia, infections, toxins and metabolic myopathies. We report a case of a 52-year-old man with hereditary
We report the use of red blood cell exchange (RBCex) to treat rhabdomyolysis complicated by acute kidney injury in a 16-year-old African-American female with sickle cell trait (SCT). Treatment with aggressive fluid and electrolyte management failed to stem the rise in her creatine kinase, and RBCex
A case of rhabdomyolysis following an asthmatic attack is reported. A 71-year-old man was admitted because of wheezing and hypoxemia. Brown urine was present on admission. Although these symptoms completely disappeared with the treatment with aminophylline, salbutamol and corticosteroid, transiently
BACKGROUND
Rhabdomyolysis has been described most commonly after muscle injury but may also result from coma due to alcohol intake or drug abuse. Its clinical findings usually occur as muscular pain and swelling, but these symptoms are also seen in as many as 60% of patients with nontraumatic
It is well known that heroin overdose may cause rhabdomyolysis. Sometimes a myocardial involvement complicates its course. We report a case of heroin intoxication followed by rhabdomyolysis associated with myocardial injury, with symptoms, laboratory findings, ECG and echocardiography features of
The case is presented of a 34-year-old woman with rhabdomyolysis due to massive intake of nimetazepam, a benzodiazepine hypnotic. On admission, the patient had numerous blisters all over the body. One of the blisters in the gluteal region developed into a deep ulcer accompanied by muscle necrosis
A 17-year-old girl was found unconscious in a running vehicle. She developed very severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (which was treated with rescue high-frequency oscillation), hemodynamic instability, acute kidney injury, rhabdomyolysis, and remained comatose with a Glasgow Coma Scale score
CASE DESCRIPTION - A 6-year-old castrated male Llewelyn Setter was evaluated because of an acute onset of myalgia and respiratory distress. CLINICAL FINDINGS - Physical examination revealed a stiff stilted gait, swollen muscles that appeared to cause signs of pain, panting, and ptyalism. The dog had
Shortfin Mako sharks (Isurus oxyrinchus) are top-order predators in oceanic food chains. They are captured worldwide by commercial and recreational fisheries, but little is known about the effects that fishing has on the homeostasis and longevity of these Marked electrolyte abnormalities characterized by profound hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia were noted in 4 neonatal foals with acute rhabdomyolysis and pigmenturia. In 2 foals, rhabdomyolysis developed 4-6 days after admission for dysmaturity, and in 2 foals,
A 93 year-old hypertensive woman was found to have severe hypokalemia (as low as 1.3 mEq/L) and developed paralysis of the all extremities associated with metabolic alkalosis, hypoxemia, hypercapnea, extremely high levels of creatine phosphokinase (up to 9280 U/L), myoglobin and myoglobinuria
