Malignant hyperthermia (MH) in humans is usually triggered by volatile anaesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants. However, other factors or drugs (e.g. cresol) are thought to induce MH. We report a case of fulminant MH associated with a ketoacidotic diabetic coma. After therapy for diabetic

A 85-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of semicomatous status. Laboratory data on admission showed elevation of blood sugar (823 mg/dl) and serum osmotic pressure (345 mOsm/l), but ketonuria was not detected. Non-ketotic hyperosmolar diabetic coma was diagnosed. The insulin infusion
Sudden death caused by the acute onset of diabetic coma is reported. A 15-year-old female had been suffering from insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus for the prior 8 years and had a fever and vomiting for the past few days. On the 4th day, after the onset of fever and vomiting, she died suddenly,
Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is a completely treatable but relapsing neuroendocrine disorder associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). Though numerous neurological manifestations are often associated with thyroid disorder, this entity is less documented. We are reporting a case of HE in a 65
To evaluate the efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, the prognostic factors, and the side effects, 72 patients undergoing 170 chemoembolizations with lipiodol-mediated injection of adriamycin were investigated. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year
OBJECTIVE
Following a hyperosmolar diabetic coma in a cirrhotic patient with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization, we assessed the prevalence, severity, causes and prognostic impact of impaired glucose metabolism following transcatheter arterial
Although the relationship between antipsychotic medication, particularly second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs), and metabolic disturbance is increasingly accepted, there is an important, but little recognised, potential interaction between this and the other important serious adverse effect of
BACKGROUND
Nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis has been associated with alcohol and drug abuse, seizures, strenuous exercise, muscle hypoperfusion, hyperthermia, electrolyte disturbances, diabetic coma, and hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism can be associated with several neuromuscular manifestations, such as
