Amiodarone-Induced Life-Threatening Refractory Hypotension
BACKGROUND Amiodarone is frequently used in emergency departments for treatment of arrhythmias. Incidence of several amiodarone-related adverse events is unknown. The literature is sparse for potentially life-threatening adverse effects of amiodarone. CASE REPORT We present a case of a male patient who presented with chest discomfort and rapid atrial fibrillation. He was known to have paroxys...
متن کاملBringing down the ROS: a new therapeutic approach for PPHN.
Although infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) experience some relief and therapeutic benefit from current therapies, over 50% have a limited or transient response and significant morbidity. There is no consistency in the best first line treatment throughout hospitals in the United States. Ventilation with high levels of oxygen or inhaled nitric oxide (NO) are typ...
متن کاملLife –threatening Necrotizing Fasciitis: a case report

It can be life threatening in the case of late diagnosis and antibiotic therapy and without surgical intervention. It is caused by group A streptococci or by a synergistic combination of aerobe and anaerobe microorganisms and bacterial synergy is an import...
متن کاملNitric Oxide Manipulation: A Therapeutic Target for Peripheral Arterial Disease?
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in the Western world. Risk factor modification and endovascular and surgical revascularisation are the main treatment options at present. However, a significant number of patients still require major amputation. There is evidence that nitric oxide (NO) and its endogenous inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine (AD...
متن کاملIs Nitric Oxide a Hormone?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple ubiquitous signaling molecule and plays important roles in almost every biological system. Recent evidences suggest that NO may act as an endocrine molecule. The aim of this review is considering available literature on endocrine roles of NO and/or its metabolites, i.e. nitrite and nitrate. Existing data suggest the idea that NO is a hormone that after production i...
