Kidney failure, treatment induced, tumor lysis syndrome, seizures, prolonged ischemia [1] [2] Diagnostic method: Blood level > 1.1 mmol/L (2.6 mg/dL) [1] [3] Differential diagnosis: Kidney failure, high blood calcium, high blood potassium, hypoparathyroidism, hypothyroidism, lithium toxicity, red blood cell breakdown, rhabdomyolysis [4] Treatment
[1] [2] These side effects are serious and some of them are permanent, and many remain a crucial concern for companies and healthcare professionals and substantial efforts are being encouraged to reduce the potential risks for future antipsychotics through more clinical trials and drug development.
Megasphaera is a genus of Bacillota bacteria classified within the class Negativicutes. [1] [2] This classification has been reexamined. [3]
Immediate treatment for the syndrome should not be delayed as it has a high mortality of between 10-20%. [39] Differentiating NMS from other neurological disorders can be very difficult. The diagnosis is suggested on patients with a history of drug exposure to the most common inducing agents such as strong antidopaminergic medications.
They range from spherical forms, such as Megasphaera and Veillonella, to curved rods, as typified by the Selenomonads. [2] Selenomonas has a characteristic crescent-shape, with flagella inserted on the concave side, while Sporomusa is similar but non-motile.
[13] [14] At high enough levels, exposure can be fatal. [6] The adverse effects of mechlorethamine depend on the formulation. [15] When used in chemical warfare, it can cause immunosuppression and damage to mucous membranes of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Mucous membranes and damp or damaged skin are more affected by exposure to HN-2.
[1] [2] Hyperkalemia can cause an abnormal heart rhythm which can result in cardiac arrest and death. [1] [3] Common causes of hyperkalemia include kidney failure, hypoaldosteronism, and rhabdomyolysis. [1] A number of medications can also cause high blood potassium including spironolactone, NSAIDs, and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. [1]
However, if the temperatures are too high, or if they are kept elevated for too long, then serious side effects, including death, can result. The smaller the place that is heated, and the shorter the treatment time, the lower the side effects. Conversely, tumor treated too slowly or at too low a temperature will not achieve therapeutic goals.
