Jan 16th, 2021 - Lyso-thermosensitive liposomes (LTSLs) are specifically designed to release chemotherapy agents under conditions of mild hyperthermia. Preclinical studies have indicated that magnetic resonance (MR)-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) systems can gene...

Jan 15th, 2021 - Current treatment options for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) are associated with substantial morbidity. Local release of doxorubicin (DOX) from phosphatidyldiglycerol-based thermosensitive liposomes (DPPG2-TSL-DOX) potentiated by hypertherm...

Jan 14th, 2021 - Background: Fever-range hyperthermia or fever-range temperature (hereafter FRT) improves survival and shortens disease duration in microbial infections. However, the mechanisms of these beneficial effects still remain elusive. We hypothesized that...

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...

Aug 3rd, 2015 - In order to improve our understanding of the evidence-based literature supporting temperature management during adult cardiopulmonary bypass, The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiology and the American Society o...

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...

Apr 25th, 2018 - Intra-amniotic therapy with a novel recombinant protein enabled three patients with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) to sweat normally, researchers reported. For up to 22 months of postnatal follow-up, patients had no hyperthermi.
