antidiuretic/vomiting

Eleven randomly hydrated patients with metastatic malignancies received iv bolus chemotherapy. Serial observations of plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH), serum osmolality, blood pressure, and presence of nausea or emesis were made over the next 3-4 hours. Group 1 (four patients) had no nausea or

BACKGROUND Strongyloidiasis hyperinfection and disseminated disease have high mortality rates due to several complications and early detection of Strongyloides infection is therefore prudent. UNASSIGNED A 37-year-old male patient came with chronic diarrhea, intractable vomiting and was found to have

delta-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase deficiency porphyria (ALAD porphyria, ADP) with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) in a 69-year-old woman is reported. The patient was admitted to our hospital complaining of slight cough with low-grade fever, and treated with

This paper gives an overview of studies investigating endocrine changes in acute nausea and vomiting. The aetiology of nausea and vomiting is not fully understood, but it has been shown that different stress hormones are released into circulation during motion sickness. Studies with animals and

OBJECTIVE To report a case of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) induced by a single oral dose of cyclophosphamide. METHODS A 69-year-old woman was treated with oral CTD (cyclophosphamide/thalidomide/dexamethasone) chemotherapy for multiple myeloma. Two days after the

OBJECTIVE To review the types and causes of hyponatremia and examine the various strategies for treatment of this disorder. METHODS A systematic review of the current literature is provided, targeting endocrinology clinicians who consult with hospital medical and surgical staff when managing

We report a case of a seventy-year-old woman with syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) and adrenal insufficiency induced by Rathke's cleft cyst. She experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache and disturbance of consciousness induced by hyponatremia at a serum

We report the case of an 81-year old woman with stupor, confusion, somnolence, vomiting, and reduced food intake for 5 days. Laboratory investigations revealed low serum concentrations of sodium and potassium with a serum osmolality of 225 mOsm/kg H (2)O in the face of an inappropriately

BACKGROUND Although the use of opioids during general anaesthesia suppresses stress response to surgery and pain, the effects on antidiuretic hormone (ADH) are controversial. The aim of this study was to find the effects of morphine with either intravenous infusion or epidural route on ADH and other

We report an autopsy case of granulomatous angiitis of the central nervous system (GANS) complicated by the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). A 88-year old female was admitted because of progressive mental deterioration, fever, and vomiting. A computed tomogram disclosed

Digoxin acts at central neural (CNS) as well as peripheral sites after intravenous administration. In contrast, the analog, 3-beta-O(4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-digitoxigenin (ASI-222), cannot cross the blood-brain barrier so it acts only at sites outside the CNS. The effects of

The incidence of SIADH (the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion) was analyzed retrospectively in 43 children who received marrow-ablative chemotherapy before autografts with peripheral blood stem cells for lymphoid malignancies. SIADH was documented in three children (ages 3,

Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone release (SIADH) is a condition defined by the unsuppressed release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) from the pituitary gland or nonpituitary sources or its continued action on vasopressin receptors. Of the many causes of SIADH, an important one includes

OBJECTIVE Limited data exist about the clinical characteristics of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADHS) in hospitalized elderly. Moreover, there may be differences regarding this syndrome between populations, depending on the referral source to hospitals. The

The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is characterized by hyponatraemia due to water retention resulting from the persistent release of antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin). It may occur in a variety of malignant and non-malignant conditions, in particular in
