Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but fatal complication that develops under general anesthesia. Particularly, reports of postoperative MH are rare. This report describes the very rare case of a 29-year-old woman with neurological impairment complicated by rhabdomyolysis due to postoperative MH with an onset 30 hours after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and open gastrostomy, and the suc...

The electrochemical oxidation behaviors of NaBH4 on Zn, Zn–MH, and MH (metal-hydride) electrodes were investigated, and an intrinsic direct orohydride fuel cell (DBFC)/battery hybrid power source using MH (or Zn–MH) as the anode and MnO2 as the cathode was tested. Borohydride annot be effectively oxidized on Zn electrodes at the Zn oxidation potential because of the poor electrocatalytic abilit...

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially fatal pharmacogenetic disease triggered by several anaesthetic agents. The in vitro muscle contracture test (IVCT) is the standard test to establish an individual's risk of susceptibility to MH. Clinical practitioners and geneticists of the European MH Group have agreed on the present guidelines for the detection of MH susceptibility using molecular ...

OBJECTIVE Mucosal healing (MH) is an important treatment goal in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but factors predicting MH under medical therapy are largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to characterize predictive factors for MH in anti-TNF-alpha antibody-treated IBD patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 248 IBD patients (61.3% CD, 38.7% UC) treated with anti-TNF-al...

BACKGROUND Malignant hyperthermia (MH), a metabolic myopathy triggered by volatile anesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants, is a potentially lethal complication of general anesthesia in susceptible patients. The implementation of modern inhalation anesthetics that research indicates as less potent trigger substances and the recommended limitations of succinylcholine use, suggests there ma...

Mouse populations differing in metabolic rate have been developed through selection for high (MH) and low (ML) heat loss (HLOSS), along with randomly selected controls (MC). Objectives of this study were to (a) compare MH, ML and MC lines for HLOSS and correlated traits of feed intake, body composition and organ weights; (b) compare three widely used inbred mouse lines with MH, ML and MC for th...

OBJECTIVE The identification of a predisposition toward malignant hyperthermia (MH) as a risk factor for exertional heat stroke (EHS) remains a matter of debate. Such a predisposition indicates a causal role for MH susceptibility (MHS) after EHS in certain national recommendations and has led to the use of an in vitro contracture test (IVCT) to identify the MHS trait in selected or unselected E...

Herein, we describe the preparation of a targeted cellular delivery system for morin hydrate (MH), -molecular-weight hyaluronic acid-poly(butyl cyanoacrylate) (HA-PBCA) block copolymer. In ord the therapeutic effect of MH, D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) was HA-PBCA during the preparation process. The MH-loaded HA-PBCA “plain” nanoparticle (MH-P PBCA/TPGS “mixed” na...

PURPOSE Masked hypertension (MH) independently predicts mortality but cannot be diagnosed from clinic blood pressure (BP) taken under resting conditions. We sought to determine if MH could be identified from BP taken during a single bout of low-intensity exercise. METHODS BP was recorded at rest and during brief low-level cycling exercise (60-70% of age-predicted maximal heart rate) in 75 unt...
