Management of a patient with hyperkalemic periodic paralysis requiring coronary artery bypass grafts
Karoo paralysis in South Africa is induced in livestock by feeding female Ixodes rubicundus ticks when infestation densities on hosts exceed certain critical levels. It has been shown previously that Angora goats are at a higher risk of being paralysed than Merino sheep, and such differences have been related to differences in feeding behaviour and spatial distribution of the two small-stock br...
Type 1 myotonic dystrophy (DM1) is an autosomal-dominant inherited disorder with a multisystem involvement, caused by an abnormal expansion of the CTG sequence of the dystrophic myotonia protein kinase (DMPK) gene. DM1 is a variable multisystem disorder with muscular and nonmuscular abnormalities. Increasingly, endocrine abnormalities, such as gonadal, pancreatic, and adrenal dysfunction are be...
The purpose of this study was to establish a sensitive and reliable method of diagnosing diaphragm paralysis by recording the diaphragm compound muscle action potential (CMAP) using a multipair oesophageal electrode and unilateral magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation. An oesophageal electrode catheter was designed containing six coils (1 cm wide and 3 cm apart), creating an array of four sequenti...
BACKGROUND Although the Horn of Africa region has successfully eliminated endemic poliovirus circulation, it remains at risk for reintroduction. International partners assisted Kenya in identifying gaps in the polio surveillance and routine immunization programs, and provided recommendations for improved surveillance and routine immunization during the health system decentralization process. ...
Periodic paralysis is an uncommon complication of primary aldosteronism in the non-Asian population. We describe the case of a Brazilian woman who presented to the emergency room with proximal symmetric tetraparesis that was later diagnosed as primary aldosteronism. This case report shows that primary aldosteronism should be included in the differential diagnosis of periodic paralysis, especial...
An electrophysiological study was carried out on four patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. Whereas neurogenic involvement of the paralysed hemidiaphragm was roughly similar in all cases, neurogenic patterns could be detected in the normally moving contralateral hemidiaphragm in three cases, and the degree of involvement could be correlated with the respiratory state of the patients...
A 57 year old patient presented with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis and severe hypoxaemia secondary to transient right-to-left interatrial shunting through a patent foramen ovale. The final diagnosis was made because of the initial detection of a shunt while the patient was breathing 100% oxygen.
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is a rare complication of hyperthyroidism, characterized by severe hypokalemia and episodes of skeletal muscle paralysis. Although it is commonly described in adult East Asian men, TPP has been reported in individuals of all ages and ethnic backgrounds. We describe the case of a young adult Hispanic male who presented to a Pediatric Emergency Department with paraly...
