Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is the most common form of periodic paralysis and is characterized by attacks of muscle paralysis associated with a low serum potassium (K+) level due to an acute intracellular shifting. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP), characterized by the triad of muscle paralysis, acute hypokalemia, and hyperthyroidism, is one cause of hypokalemic periodic paralysis. The tr...

Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is an uncommon manifestation of thyrotoxicosis and the condition is most commonly reported in young Asian men. Patient often presents with acute onset symmetrical flaccid muscle paralysis and proximal limb muscles may be more severely involved compared to distal muscles. Thyroid swelling as well as features of thyrotoxicosis may not be overt. A very high index of ...

Periodic paralysis is a muscle disorder that belongs to the family of diseases called channelopathies, manifested by episodes of painless muscle weakness. Periodic paralysis is classified as hypokalemic when episodes occur in association with low potassium levels. Most cases are hereditary. Acquired cases have been described in association with hyperthyroidism. Diagnosis is made on clinical and...

An Indian male patient with acute quadriplegia with hypokalemia as a rare initial presentation of thyrotoxicosis is presented in this case report.

Introduction: 
 Thyrotoxic Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis (THPP) is a rare hereditary disorder which characterized by thyroid hormone elevation, low blood potassium level and recurrent acute muscle weakness. Basic pathology thought to be the increase in activity sodium-potassium pump (Na+/K+ATPase). Case report: Here we report case of 31-year-old male that presented with weakness his legs,...

Photoluminescence decay was used as a structure-sensitive method to compare the distribution of emitting sites in periodic mesoporous organosilicates (PMOs) to their respective molecular analogs. The observed close similarity of PL decays confirms the molecular nature of PMOs and high homogeneity of emitting sites.
