dyskinesias/hypoxia

OBJECTIVE We present the case of a parturient diagnosed with primary ciliary dyskinesia with secondary bronchiectasis who developed significant hypoxemia following administration of intravenous oxytocin during Cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia. This case suggests that oxytocin can affect

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder that manifests clinically with chronic sinopulmonary and otologic disease. Despite the majority of patients presenting with respiratory symptoms in the neonatal period, the diagnosis is often delayed until several years of age. We report the

A 73-year-old man was admitted complaining of violent involuntary movement in the left upper and lower extremities. He had a ten-year history of hypertension and had had a left thalamic hemorrhage 6 years before admission. On neurological examination Horner's sign in the right eye, typical

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic condition characterized by respiratory tract infections, situs inversus or heterotaxy, and male infertility. Chronic respiratory infections begin in childhood and result in complications such as bronchiectasis. As hypoxemia is often attributed to

A 19-month-old boy with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), mirror-image dextrocardia, situs inversus (SI) totalis suffered from persistent hypoxia. Cyanosis became clinically evident when the child turned the head to the left and resolved after turning the head to the right. Echocardiography

Primary ciliary dyskinesia is an autosomal recessive genetic disease that results in impaired mucociliary clearance causing progressive involvement of the upper and lower respiratory tract, characterized by airway obstruction and recurrent infections of the lungs, middle ear and paranasal sinuses.

127 cases of tracheal dyskinesia were seen in infants and children out of which 87 were 1 to 12 months of age. The diagnosis was based on the existence of a collapse reducing the tracheal diameter of more than 50% on endoscopy. Endoscopic examination was performed without general anesthesia. This

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical characteristics and diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). METHODS Four cases diagnosed as PCD by cilia electron microscopy examination from Jan. 2007 to Aug. 2009 in this hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and the related literature was

Age individuality is characterized by an imbalance of the molecular mechanisms of antioxidant defense in adolescents with arterial hypertension and biliary dyskinesia, as documented by an enzyme imbalance of the first line of antioxidant defense and H2O, accumulation, by a substantial increase in

BACKGROUND Perinatal anoxia rarely causes myoclonus as the main neurologic abnormality. The exact neuronal mechanism underlying myoclonus induced by perinatal anoxia remains unknown. Some studies have indicated that the development of involuntary movements may be related to the maturation of the

OBJECTIVE CP is a common feature of perinatal HIBD in the context of "acute profound" injury, and in this article, we have studied the possible anatomic substrates of dyskinesia. We have reviewed the extent of brain injury in children with dyskinetic and spastic CP due to acute profound hypoxia to

Two young children, 5 and 30 months of age, developed acute transient dyskinesias. The novel features of these patients were classic orobuccal-lingual dyskinesias, their young ages, and the association with asthma and theophylline. The movements resembled tardive dyskinesias of older patients on

A disorder caused by congenital ciliary dysfunction occurs in dogs. Most of the clinical signs are directly or indirectly attributable to immotile or dyskinetic cilia and spermflagella. Due to severely impaired mucociliary clearance, a continuous mucoid nasal discharge and intermittent sneezing and

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive, chronic disease characterized by dyskinesia, rigidity, instability, and tremors. The disease is defined by the presence of Lewy bodies, which primarily consist of aggregated α-synuclein protein, and is accompanied by the loss of monoaminergic neurons.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a relatively common life-threatening cardiovascular condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We present the efficacy and safety data of weight-adjusted tenecteplase in 30 consecutive patients of acute PE. 30 patients (22 male, 8 female) with acute PE
