Neonatal seizures in the era of therapeutic hypothermia: keeping it cool.

The neonatal brain is potentially wired for seizures based on the timing and severity of disease states in the context of vulnerabilities of the immature brain.(1) Seizures in neonates are often the presenting sign of potential brain injury from multiple etiologies, including asphyxia or hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Seizures may also result from diverse causes of neonatal encephalopat...

Keeping It Simple

The Post-Albers reaction scheme of the Na ϩ ,K ϩ-ATPase has been remarkably successful, for over a quarter-century , in explaining the biochemical behavior of the isolated enzyme, and is still the backbone of current bio-physical models for the various transport modes (elec-trogenic Na/K exchange; electroneutral and electrogenic Na/Na exchanges; K/K exchange, etc.) of the sodium pump. Because o...

Heat illness in the emergency department: keeping your cool.

Heat illness spans a broad spectrum of disease, with outcomes ranging from benign rash to fatal heat stroke. Heat illness is broadly divided into 2 types: classic and exertional. Both types occur as a result of exposure to elevated temperature with inadequate thermoregulation; however, classic illness occurs without preceding physical activity. Treatment consists of rapid cooling, fluid replace...
