Jan 27th, 2023 - Hyperthermia induced by psychomotor stimulants may cause leakage of the blood-brain barrier, vasogenic edema, and lethality in extreme cases. Current treatments such as whole-body cooling are only symptomatic and a clear need to develop pharmacolo...

Jan 21st, 2023 - Disease causing variants in the Ryanodine receptor 1 (RYR1) gene are a common cause for congenital myopathy and for malignant hyperthermia susceptibility. We report a 17 year old boy with congenital muscle weakness progressing to a myasthenia like...

Jan 18th, 2023 - Resting skeletal muscle generates heat for endothermy in mammals but not amphibians, while both use the same Ca2+-handling proteins and membrane structures to conduct excitation-contraction coupling apart from having different ryanodine receptor (...

Jan 14th, 2023 - BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to discuss a patient with a history of conditions, including arthrogryposis, gastroschisis, and malignant hyperthermia, who presented with cecal volvulus requiring urgent surgical intervention. CASE REPORT A...

Jan 5th, 2023 - Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but life-threatening genetic disorder of the skeletal muscles triggered by inhalation anesthetics or succinylcholine. A 49-year-old female developed symptoms of MH shortly after a lumbar surgery. Despite being...

Nov 3rd, 2020 - Malignant hyperthermia is a potentially fatal condition, in which genetically predisposed individuals develop a hypermetabolic reaction to potent inhalation anaesthetics or succinylcholine. Because of the rarity of malignant hyperthermia and ethic...

Jun 28th, 2020 - Faced with a malignant hyperthermia crisis, the immediate access to sufficient dantrolene is essential to achieve the best possible outcome for the patient. However, malignant hyperthermia crises are rare, and there may be administrative pressures...

Jun 6th, 2019 - This document represents a joint effort of the Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (SAMBA) and the Ambulatory Surgical Care Committee of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) concerning the safe anesthetic care of adult malignant hyperther...

Nov 5th, 2011 - Volatile anesthetics and/or succinylcholine may trigger a potentially lethal malignant hyperthermia (MH) event requiring critical care crisis management. If the MH triggering anesthetic is given in an ambulatory surgical center (ASC), then the pat...

Dec 15th, 2022 - The current study will use the combination of electronic medical records and genomic information in samples of persons who have exhibited signs of Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) or have family history or high risk of MH to see if risk factors can be ...

Sep 16th, 2022 - The purpose of the study is to compare the quality of recovery (QoR)-15 scores according to the use of maintenance anesthetics in the lumbar fusion surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have been known to help reducing risks of postoperativ...

Jun 2nd, 2022 - This study intends to target patients who underwent surgery under general anesthesia during the study period and developed malignant hyperthermia during or after surgery. Therefore, the total sample size was estimated to be about 50 people based o...

Apr 15th, 2022 - We evaluated every referral to the MH centre since 2002 then. IVCT results, clinical data, personal and family history and molecular genetic data, have been recorded in an electronic medical record. Potential MHS patients, probands, were investiga...

Mar 31st, 2022 - The purpose of the study is to compare the quality of recovery (QoR)-15 scores according to the use of maintenance anesthetics in the cervical spine surgery. Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have been known to help reducing risks of postoperati...

Mar 21st, 2019 - Inhaled anesthesia may be safer for the heart than infusion agents, but that didn't lead to better survival in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in the MYRIAD trial. Those randomized to inhaled anesthesia had the s...

Jul 17th, 2017 - Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HPP) is a relatively common and potentially life-threating condition that can be either sporadic or recurring and has both inherited and acquired causes. 1 Familial HPP, on the other hand, is a rare condition (1:100.
