Effect of prednisolone on serum creatine phosphokinase.

Creatine phosphokinase values and myalgia during isotretinoin therapy

Background: Systemic isotretinoin is a very effective medication for the treatment of acne, but it has some side effects. One of its side effects is musculoskeletal problems such as increased levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), myalgia, and serious muscle damage such as rhabdomyolysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of myalgia and its relationship with the elevation of ...

Assessment of The Diagnostic Capability of Serum Creatine Phosphokinase and Its Isoenzyme in Ectopic Pregnancy

Serum Levels of Creatine Phosphokinase.

Increasing interest in serum enzyme levels in various conditions has led to recognition of the value of the estimation of creatine phosphokinase activity in muscular disorders. Interpretation of the results obtained has been hampered by the lack of adequate information about the ;normal range'. Data for the normal levels of creatine phosphokinase in cord blood, children, and adults are presented.

The Efficacy of Propofol and Midazolam in Treatment of Refractory Status Epilepticus in Children

Background: In this study, we compared the efficacy and safety of propofol and midazolam in treatment of children’s refractory status epilepticus. Methods: We recruited 32 patients with refractory status epilepticus. Of those, 16 were treated primarily with midazolam and 16 received propofol. Results: We achieved complete seizure control in 6 (38%) patients treated by midazolam, and in 10 (63%)...
