متن کاملProlonged myotonia and dystonia after general anaesthesia in a patient taking gabapentin.
This is the report of a 55-yr-old female who developed severe myotonia and dystonia after general anaesthesia. Before starting on gabapentin therapy for a neuropathic pain condition, she had undergone numerous uneventful general anaesthetics.

متن کاملCarbohydrate metabolism in dystrophia myotonica.
Serum insulin, blood sugar, and growth hormone levels were measured in response to a 50g oral glucose tolerance test in 10 patients with proven dystrophia myotonica. Three patients belonged to one family; seven patients had no known family history of the disease. One patient, a chronic invalid aged 56 years, produced a mild diabetic glucose tolerance curve and a delayed prolonged rise in serum ...
