High dose intravenous methicillin therapy is a common form of treatment for post traumatic acute osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, with positive staphylococcus aureus cultures. A high and spiking fever, persisting in the face of adequate antibiotic therapy, presents a difficult diagnostic dilemma
Fever frequently presents during recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI). Elevated body temperature may result from ensuing infection, thrombophlebitis, drug reaction, or a defect in the central thermoregulatory system such as seen in post-traumatic hyperthermia (PTH). Typically, the diagnosis of
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a potentially fatal infectious disease, and it is endemic in Turkey. Patients are placed in isolation when hospitalized, and some may require blood transfusions. Moreover, some patients may require admission to intensive care units (ICU). CCHF is not a
Episodes of post-traumatic hyperthermia commonly occur in the head-injured patient population. Although post-traumatic hyperthermia has been shown to worsen outcome in experimental studies using male rats, the consequences of secondary hyperthermia following traumatic brain injury (TBI) have not
METHODS
A standardized rat model of compression spinal cord injury (SCI) was used to test the effect of transient systemic hyperthermia on long-term behavioural and morphometric outcomes.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effect of hyperthermia on the development of spinal cord lesion after
After a brain injury, raised temperature may be due to a regulated readjustment in the hypothalamic 'set-point' in response to inflammation. The purpose of this report is to mention possible implications related to temperature and homeostasis of morphine treatment in a patient with brain injury.
Baclofen is used for the treatment of post-traumatic spasticity. It carries a risk of overdose as well as of an acute withdrawal syndrome. We report two cases of severe hypertonia and hyperthermia (> 42 degrees C), occurring after accidental discontinuation of intrathecal infusion of baclofen. Both
The effects of slight variations in brain temperature on the pathophysiological consequences of acute brain injury have been extensively described in models of moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). In contrast, limited information is available regarding the potential consequences of
Fever is a common complication of a traumatic brain injury, occurring during both the acute-care phase and the rehabilitation phase of recovery. The aetiology of fever in this population may remain obscure because of the presence of cognitive confusion associated with post-traumatic amnesia
Post-traumatic acalculous cholecystitis is a potentially lethal complication that may develop in patients during hospitalization for trauma. Three case reports illustrate that obscuration of many early diagnostic symptoms and signs may make this complication particularly treacherous in the
A fifteen year-old girl presented with several fractures after a road traffic accident. Five days later, fat embolism occurred, complicated by adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and disseminated coagulation (DIC). She was successfully managed in the intensive therapy unit, and was
The objective of this study is to assess ambient temperatures' and extreme heat events' contribution to work-related emergency department (ED) visits for hyperthermia in the southeastern United States to inform prevention. Through a collaborative network and established data framework, work-related
BACKGROUND
Exposure to chronic stress can affect the serotoninergic (5-HT) system and behavioral measures associated with 5-HT. Repeated stress increases 5-HT receptor subtype 2 (5-HT2) mediated behaviors in rodents, such as wet dog shakes and head twitch.
OBJECTIVE
The current study investigated
BACKGROUND
Post-traumatic hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms are rarely seen in children.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the radiologic studies and medical records of three patients treated at our institution and reviewed the literature. The patients (ages 5-13 years) presented immediately to 2
