May 7th, 2021 - Aim: In this work, we study the eddy current evolution naturally occurring in magnetically driven treatments, such as MRI and magnetic particle hyperthermia (MPH), and propose the mitigation of eddy currents by careful control of field parameters....

May 6th, 2021 - A 22-year-old man, with a medical history significant for posttraumatic stress disorder and chronic pain, underwent ankle surgery at the United States Naval Hospital, Yokosuka, Japan. His immediate postoperative course was complicated by episodic ...

May 5th, 2021 - Photothermal therapy (PTT), involving application of localized hyperthermia to kill cancer cells, has attracted wide attention in cancer therapy. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during PTT may cause irreversible damage to healthy t...

May 4th, 2021 - Deep-tissue localization of thermal doses is a long-standing challenge in magnetic field hyperthermia (MFH), and remains a limitation of the clinical application of MFH to date. Here, we show that pulse sequencing of MFH leads to a more persistent...

May 3rd, 2021 - Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a cancer with a meager prognosis due to its chemotherapy resistance. A new treatment method may be magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH). Magnetoliposomes (ML), consisting of superparamagnetic iron oxide nano...

Nov 2nd, 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 27th, 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 5th, 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...

Mar 1st, 2018 - Amphetamines are sympathomimetic drugs with CNS stimulant and euphoriant properties whose toxic adverse effects include delirium, hypertension, seizures, and hyperthermia (which can cause rhabdomyolysis and renal failure). Toxicity is managed with...

Mar 1st, 2017 - Malignant hyperthermia (MH) can be fatal if the crisis is not appropriately treated. It is an inherited disease usually triggered by the administration of volatile inhalational anesthetics and/or succinylcholine, a muscle relaxant. In a patient wi...

Mar 24th, 2021 - Abuse or misuse of the over-the-counter (OTC) nasal decongestant propylhexedrine can cause serious harm that can lead to hospitalization, disability, or death, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns in a safety communication. "Major issue...

Mar 22nd, 2020 - Physical examination findings may vary depending on the type of organism, severity of infection, coexisting host factors, and presence of complications. Signs of bacterial pneumonia may include the following: Hyperthermia (fever, typically > 38°C)...

Aug 12th, 2019 - Heat stroke is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the United States, claiming more lives in 2018 than tornadoes and floods combined, according to data from the National Weather Service. And it doesn't discriminate: A professional athle...

Jul 1st, 2019 - A nonspecific presentation Unfortunately, many of the symptoms of serotonin syndrome are nonspecific, and the severity varies among patients. 2,3 The onset of symptoms usually occurs within 6 to 8 hours after ingestion of a serotonergic agent.

Oct 4th, 2018 - The underlying etiology of the patient's problems was heatstroke. This condition is defined as the combination of hyperthermia (core temperature >105°F [40.6°C]) and neurologic impairment.[1] Two types of heatstroke are recognized: classic nonexer...
