The in vitro contracture test (IVCT) based on European Malignant Hyperpyrexia Group criteria including the linked quality guarantee is carried out in 6 centres in Germany. Due to the genetic heterogeneity of malignant hyperthermia. This test remains the existing standard, despite intensive search
OBJECTIVE
Some patients with nonconvulsive status epilepticus are known to exhibit catatonic stupor. Thus it is necessary to rule out ictal catatonia by electroencephalography in patients with catatonic stupor. However, few reports are available on epileptic seizures superimposed on catatonic
The authors reviewed 210 children with typhoid and paratyphoid fevers; 191 were infected with S. typhi, 13 with S. paratyphi A and 6 with S. paratyphi B. The proportion was higher in school children. Fever, headache, tongue furred, stupor, and hepatomegaly were the most important clinical findings.
Deliberate hyperthermia has been used clinically as experimental therapy for neoplastic and infectious diseases. Several case fatalities have occurred with this form of treatment, but most were attributable to systemic complications rather than central nervous system toxicity. Nonetheless,
We compared high-dose dexamethasone (initial dose, 3 mg per kilogram of body weight) with placebo in a randomized, double-blind trial involving 38 patients with culture-positive, specifically defined severe typhoid fever. The patients in the two treatment groups ranged in age from 5 to 54 and were
The combination of lithium carbonate and neuroleptic is frequently used in the treatment of bipolar disorders. Four patients exhibited permanent neurological sequelae including cerebellar, pyramidal and extra-pyramidal signs after a long-term therapy with this association. Fever, stupor and
BACKGROUND
Spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsial infections are increasingly detected in Sri Lanka. We describe 17 patients with SFG who developed neurological manifestations.
METHODS
The cases were studied prospectively from 2008 at the Teaching Hospital, Peradeniya. An immunofluorescent antibody
Nowadays a person in working conditions still has to face the adverse effects of high temperatures. In Ukraine, due to the unfavorable environmental situation, a further increase in thyroid function disorders is determined. Thus, the thyroid gland creates the prerequisites for the possible inclusion
OBJECTIVE

METHODS
a cross-sectional study conducted in units of medium and high risk in a maternity from the city of Fortaleza-CE. A total of 216 newborns were evaluated to identify
Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) administered via the intracerebroventricular (icv) route in doses ranging between 0.1 and 100 mug decreased the duration of pentobarbital-induced narcosis in rabbits. Antagonism of narcosis occurred whether TRH was administered before or after the barbiturate. TRH
