A rare case of cardiac failure due to hypertensive crisis in pheochromocytoma in a 25-year-old young man is presented. In the Emergency Department the patient complained of persisting headache and vomiting; he was distressed but fully alert, his heart rate was 110 b/min and blood pressure 180/80
In a series of 27 patients with proved pheochromocytoma, differential analysis of catecholamines in blood, urine, and tumor specimens of 19 patients enabled grouping of subjects into those whose tumors produced predominantly norepinephrine (NE) (11 patients), predominantly epinephrine (E [Two
14 normal volunteers, 23 patients with euthyroid goiter, 9 patients with hypothyroidism and 17 patients with hyperthyroidism were injected with 400 micrograms thyroliberin (thyrotropin releasing hormone, TRH). The documented side effects were the same in all the 4 groups studied. Subjective symptoms
Platelet hyperactivity, one of the commonest findings associated with migraine, has been related to increased release of biologically active substances such as catecholamines and arachidonic acid metabolites, which seem to play a role in the pathogenesis of migraine. In this study, in vitro platelet
OBJECTIVE
The addition of fentanyl to hyperbaric local anesthetics has been shown to reduce the incidence of post dural puncture headache in the obstetric patient. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of subarachnoid morphine on the incidence of headache.
METHODS
Eighty-two healthy
Cluster headache is a rare, very severe disorder that is clinically well characterized with a relatively poorly understood pathophysiology. Alterations of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis due to chronobiological changes, such as typical temporal pattern of both cluster periods and attacks, point to a
Cluster headache is a rare very severe disorder that is clinically well characterized with a relatively poorly understood pathophysiology. Although peripheral structures are postulated to be involved in triggering the pain attacks, chronobiological changes like the cluster period and the complex
Aim To address whether, in patients with chronic migraine and medication overuse headache, mindfulness-based treatment is associated with changes in plasma levels of catecholamines and elusive amines that are similar to those observed in patients undergoing pharmacological prophylaxis. Methods In
Cocaine is a vasoactive substance, and its consumption has increased throughout the world. There are many neurological complications caused by chronic cocaine use, which include headache, aneurysmal formation, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke (subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage), seizures, etc.
OBJECTIVE
Postcraniotomy headache (PCH) is a frequent perioperative complication in neuroanesthesia. The aim of the present work was to assess the incidence of PCH and to test the efficacy and safety of preoperatively administered diclofenac.
METHODS
Patients undergoing craniotomies for intracranial
To examine the effects of prolonged (> 24 h) intrathecal catheterization with the use of postoperative analgesia on the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), charts of 45 obstetric patients who had accidental dural puncture following attempts at epidural block were reviewed
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness and side effects of combined spinal-epidural (CSE) injection of a bupiv-acaine-sufentanil-epinephrine mixture during labor as compared with epidural analgesia alone.
METHODS
In a randomized trial, 63 parturients presenting
A 65-year-old woman called paramedics for stridor and neck swelling following an insect bite with a possible anaphylactic reaction. On arrival paramedics administered intramuscular epinephrine without any observed improvement in stridor. Paramedics then prepared 5 mg of 1:1000 epinephrine for
