The experiments on rabbits with pyrogenal fever and amidopyrine injection have demonstrated that their 15- and 30-day exposure to hypokinesia produces changes in the reactivity of thermoregulating centers, their overexcitation and depletion. These changes are more distinct after 15-day hypokinesia.
Coagulation and fibrinolysis were studied in rats exposed to hypokinesia (HK) obtained by including rats (for 1, 2 and 3 weeks) in small cages designed to limit their movements, permitting only spontaneous feeding (a method widely used for mimicking space flight conditions). The number of
BACKGROUND
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) involves the multi-organ systems. The involvement of the heart in adult patients has been described previously. We investigated the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic findings of pediatric patients with CCHF.
METHODS
Patients younger than 16
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
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral, tick-borne disease that can be fatal, especially in the adult patient population. CCHF involves multiple organ systems. Pericardial effusion, cardiac hypokinesia, T-wave changes, bundle branch block, and myocardial involvement can be seen as a
Although neurological manifestations of typhoid fever was thought to be obsolete from modern world, emergence of multidrug resistant typhoid bacilli and reporting of outbreak of typhoid fever with a range of early neuropsychiatric manifestations from various parts of world has led clinicians and
Intravenous heroin self-administration in trained rats was accompanied by robust brain hyperthermia (+2.0-2.5 degrees C); parallel changes were found in the dorsal and ventral striatum, mediodorsal thalamus, and deep temporal muscle. Temperature began to increase at variable latency after a signal
We studied 17 consecutive patients of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever/Dengue Shock Syndrome (DHF/DSS) to assess cardiac function by radionuclide ventriculography, echocardiography and electrocardiography (ECG) during the epidemic of Dengue virus type-2 (DEN-2) in Delhi, India (1996). Case definitions laid
We report a 68-year-old man with progressive speech disturbance and dementia. He was well until 1995, when he noted an onset of difficulty in speech. He was able to name simple objects and understand language, however, he showed great difficulty in spontaneous speech. In 1998, he visited our
Reported are results of studying the development of pathology in rats and rabbits. Immobilization was found to markedly influence super-heating, local inflammation, and fever. In superheated animals, rise in the rectal temperature in the experiment and control proceeded at a similar speed; however,
Following the action of extraordinary stimulants (hypoxic hypoxia, hypoxia+hyperoxia, hypodynamia+hyperthermy) animals demonstrate accumulation of malonic dialdehyde with a simultaneous fall of antiradical activity of the liver tissue. A preliminary introduction to rats of acetylene amines--1,4 bis
Chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) is a common late complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Polymyositis is a rare manifestation of chronic GVHD after donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI). Patients with both polymyositis and myocarditis have not been reported to date. Here, we
Recently, we encountered three patients infected with an avian influenza A virus (H7N9) who exhibited upper respiratory catarrh symptoms, pharyngalgia, a high fever and hypodynamia in the early stages of the disease. Their conditions deteriorated rapidly, and one-sided pneumonia progressed to
We report a 43-year-old woman who died after 18 years history of parkinsonism. She was well until 25 years of the age (1976) when she noted a difficulty in stepping her feet. In the next year, she started to drag her feet. She was treated with levodopa with good response, however, she developed
We report a 67-year-old man with progressive disturbance of gait. He was well until the spring of 1993 (62 years of the age), when he noted an onset of unsteady gait. He also noted that he started to have a difficulty in playing tennis, in which he became unable to hit the ball with his racket. He
