Episodic spontaneous hypothermia potentially triggered by hyperinsulinemia.

16 Aug 2009 Episodic spontaneous hypothermia is an infrequent disorder, the pathogenic mechanisms of which have not been completely clarified, although alterations in the serotoninergic system have been suggested. We report the history of a girl with episodes ... Read more...

Children with infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis have an increased risk of hypothermia and bradycardia during anesthesia.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of autosomal recessive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by lysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent material in neurons and other cell types. The infantile NCL (INCL) subtype is ... Read more...

[First therapy of drowning accident]

21 Jul 2009 Rescue and medical care of people in a drowning accident is a rather rare incident which still needs special attention. The rescue process can be technically challenging and only a well experienced team will be able to act professionally without any ... Read more...
