Sep 9th, 2020 - Bi-allelic loss-of-function variants in LAMC3, encoding extracellular matrix protein laminin gamma 3, represent a rare cause of occipital polymicrogyria with epilepsy, developmental delay and cognitive impairment. So far, only five families have b...

Aug 31st, 2020 - The donor hypoperfusion phase before asystole in renal transplants from donors after circulatory death (DCD) has been considered responsible for worse outcomes than those from donors after brain death (DBD). We included 10 309 adult renal transpla...

Aug 27th, 2020 - We present a case of sudden asystole that was elicited via the trigeminocardiac reflex in a patient undergoing surgery for a frontal sinus fracture. Asystole occurred after mild stimulation of the supraorbital nerve during dissection along the sup...

Aug 13th, 2020 - In pacemaker-dependent patients with a newly implanted cardiac device, acute lead dislodgement constitutes one of the most common causes of loss of capture and ventricular asystole. In a biventricular system, it would be expected that such a poten...

Aug 2nd, 2020 - Anesthesia providers are familiar with the oculocardiac reflex, one type of trigeminocardiac reflex. While less common, arrhythmias associated with manipulation of other trigeminal nerve branches can occur. We report the presentation and managemen...

Aug 2nd, 2018 - Case 2 The patient in Case 2, had chest pain upon arrival at the ED and was administered SL NTG, with notable improvement in chest pain, but not complete resolution. With serial examinations, including a review of pain scale scores, she was given.

Nov 13th, 2017 - Predictors showing utility Several clinical factors predicted poor cerebral outcome with low false-positive rates: Unwitnessed cardiac arrest had a false-positive rate of only 4%; initial presentation in asystole or with pulseless electrical activ.

Oct 2nd, 2017 - A 40-year-old man was brought to the emergency department with altered mental status. His roommate had found him lying unconscious in snow on the lawn outside his residence.

Dec 1st, 2015 - Standard Valsalva is safe, but achieves cardioversion for only 5% to 20% of patients with acute SVT. Nonresponders usually receive intravenous adenosine, which causes transient asystole and has other side effects, including a sense of “impending d.

Nov 18th, 2015 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) -- Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) improves survival and neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest in patients with initially nonshockable rhythms, according to results from a retrospective cohort study. Previous randomized...
