Monitoring diaphragm function in a patient with myasthenia gravis: electrical activity of the diaphragm vs. maximal inspiratory pressure
Background Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is used to assess respiratory muscle strength of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) requiring ventilatory support. Electrical activity of the diaphragm (E-di) has been used to guide weaning. Case presentation The MIP and tidal volume/ΔE-di (the patient-to-ventilator breath contribution) were monitored in a 12-year-old girl with MG requiring vent...
متن کاملAn unusual case of hyalohyphomycosis due to Purpureocillium lilacinum in a patient with myasthenia gravis
Background and Purpose: Purpureocillium lilacinum (previously known as Paecilomyces lilacinus) and Paecilomyces variotii cause hyalohyphomycosis. Case report: In this study, we present a case of multiple subcutaneous abscesses of the lower limbs due to Purpureocillium lilacinum in a patient with myasthenia gravis and uncontrolled diabetes. Subcutaneous involvement of the lower limbs with thi...
متن کاملDiaphragm electrical activity monitoring as a breakpoint in the management of a tetraplegic child
Over the last decade, new technology has been developed to continuously record the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) at the bedside [1]. EAdi monitoring has been shown to be useful in assessing the patient’s ventilatory drive, in adjusting ventilatory support, and in detecting patient–ventilator asynchrony [2–4]. In the present case, we highlight how monitoring EAdi could be a sensiti...
متن کاملPerformance study of a diaphragm type crankcase pressure control valve
Pressure control valve (PCV) is implemented in internal combustion engine to regulate crankcase pressure. In this study, the performance of a diaphragm PCV valve is investigated numerically and experimentally. Firstly, numerical simulation is carried out using commercial code to predict the flow and pressure distribution inside the valve. Furthermore, downstream and upstream pressure of the val...
متن کاملThymectomy in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis
A case of myasthenia gravis in a 15 years old girl is pre·sented. The disease was present for 5 years before thymectomy was performed. Indications for thymectomy, preoperative preparation, anesthetic and surgical management is -discussed.
