Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a genetic disease of man, swine, dogs, cats, and horses. The syndrome is normally triggered by inhalational anesthetics or the administration of depolarizing muscle relaxants such as succinylcholine or various environmental stress factors. We have used the
Although hyperthermia potentiates the effect of radiation, the combined effect decreases as the time between irradiation and hyperthermia increases. The purpose of this study was to prevent the rapid loss of efficacy by the local injection of epinephrine or peplomycin(PEP), two agents known as
A 3-in-1 lumbar plexus block with the aid of a nerve stimulator was performed in 32 patients and a psoas compartment block was performed in five patients for muscle biopsy of the upper leg for diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility. Twenty-two patients were found to be MH
The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of prenatal stress on stress-induced hyperthermia in adult rats. Prenatal stress was administered daily for 3 days (embryonic days 15-17) by restraining pregnant rats in a small cage either for 30 or 240 min. After birth, foster mothers
Intravenous glucose tolerance test (ivGTT) and insulin releasing test (IRT) were performed in 32 cases with epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF). 23 patients had impaired glucose tolerance, 17 patients showed hyperinsulinemia in fasting state, 12 patients had flat insulin response curves and most
Sympathetic alpha-adrenergic function is depressed by hypoxemia per se; does addition of another sympathoexcitatory stimulus elicit normal responses in other sympathetic effector pathways? We activated by hyperthermia four sympathetic pathways: alpha-adrenergic [norepinephrine (NE) release],
The intercurrent administration of doxorubicin hydrochloride to a patient undergoing whole-body hyperthermia for the treatment of metastatic cancer repeatedly produced ventricular irritability and cardiac dysfunction. Individually, doxorubicin and hyperthermia were tolerated by the patient without
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare genetic trait characterized by potential life-threatening episodes of hypermetabolism, hyperthermia, and muscle rigidity when susceptible humans or animals are exposed to triggering drugs. The role of norepinephrine (NE) in triggering MH is controversial. The
Unbuffered lidocaine (pH = 6.5) is commonly employed as a local anesthetic prior to transcutaneous placement of catheters for use in temperature monitoring during hyperthermia treatments. The most frequent complaint associated with this procedure is stinging or burning pain at the injection site.
OBJECTIVE
To explore the fever of unknown origin (FUO) in patients with interleukin-6 (IL-6)-producing pheochromocytoma.
METHODS
Patients with pheochromocytoma were enrolled from June 2014 to April 2017. Clinical characteristics were recorded including sex, age, 24-h urinary catecholamines
We have examined whether or not the release of catecholamines into the blood circulation of rabbits during fever is mediated by prostaglandins. The plasma levels of catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine) were measured in 2 ml of blood withdrawn from the marginal ear vein. At an ambient
The changes in rectal temperature, metabolic rate, cutaneous temperatures and respiratory evaporative heat loss produced by an injection of a bacterial endotoxin piromen (4-40 ng in 1 microliter) into the anterior hypothalamus were assessed in conscious rats in both sexes from a wide range of body
