METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics, electroencephalography (EEG), neuroimaging data, and prognosis of these two f...
متن کاملRespiratory illness and hypophosphatemia.
We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 308 admissions to a pulmonary disease ward and 100 admissions to the general medical service over one year to find the prevalence, sequelae, and etiology of hypophosphatemia. The overall prevalence of low serum phosphate levels (less than 2.4 mg/dl) occurring at least once during hospitalization in chest patients was 17 percent, but was higher in patien...

متن کاملHypophosphatemia in hospitalized patients.
Hypophosphatemia is common in hospitalized patients and occurs under a variety of circumstances other than parathyroid hormone excess. Charts of 100 inpatients with hypophosphatemia were reviewed and the patients divided into five groups on the basis of serum phosphate level: 18, 2.1 to 2.4 mg/dL; 49, 1.6 to 2.0 mg/dL; 20, 1.1 to 1.5 mg/dL; 12, 0.6 to 1.0 mg/dL; 1, 0.1 to 0.5 mg/dL. The effect ...
متن کاملNeuroimaging features in subacute encephalopathy with seizures in alcoholics (SESA syndrome)
PURPOSE To describe the neuroimaging findings in subacute encephalopathy with seizures in alcoholics (SESA syndrome). METHODS We reviewed all cases reported previously, as well as 4 patients diagnosed in our center. We included a total of 8 patients. All subjects had clinical and EEG findings compatible with SESA syndrome and at least one MRI study that did not show other underlying condition...
