Clinical features and outcome of crush syndrome caused by the Chi-Chi earthquake.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few reports exist concerning the peak serum concentration of creatine kinase (CK) and the severity of crush syndrome, and the efficacy of fasciotomy in crush syndrome patients remains controversial. This study aimed to analyze and assess the clinical features, treatment, and outcome of patients with crush syndrome sustained in the Chi-Chi earthquake in September 21, 1999....
متن کاملThe priority of Antonino D'Antona in describing rhabdomyolysis with acute kidney injury, following the Messina earthquake (December 28, 1908). Commentary.
Following the Messina-Reggio Calabria earthquake (December 28, 1908) outstanding medical reports were published by Franz von Colmers (1875-1960), Antonino D'Antona (1842-1913), and Rocco Caminiti (1868-1940). The reports of D'Antona and Caminiti were heretofore neglected. Colmers, D'Antona and Caminiti described crush-syndrome. D'Antona who cured patients in shock also described two deaths due ...
متن کاملDamage to Critical Facilities Following the 921 Chi-Chi,Taiwan Earthquake (1999-2000)
As part of research collaboration between MCEER and the National Center for Research in Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) in Taiwan, a team of MCEER/NCREE researchers undertook a reconnaissance mission shortly after the 921 Chi-Chi earthquake occurred in Taiwan at 1:47 a.m. on September 21, 1999. A major objective of this mission was to assess earthquake-induced damage, to document lessons learned...
متن کاملCoseismic release of water from mountains: Evidence from the 1999 (Mw 5 7.5) Chi-Chi, Taiwan, earthquake
Earthquake-induced increases in streamflow, producing ;0.7 km3 of total excess water, were documented after the 1999 (Mw 5 7.5) Chi-Chi earthquake in central Taiwan. Analysis of stream gauge data and well records suggests that the excess water originated in the mountains. We propose that the extensive high-angle fractures formed during the earthquake allow rapid release of water from mountains ...
متن کاملObservations of changes in waveform character induced by the 1999 Mw7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake
[1] We observe changes in the waveforms of repeating earthquakes in eastern Taiwan following the 1999 Mw7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake, while their recurrence intervals appear to be unaffected. There is a clear reduction in waveform similarity and velocity changes indicated by delayed phases at the time of the Chi-Chi event. These changes are limited to stations in and paths that cross the 70 × 100 km ...
