Are comorbid sleep disorders associated with higher risk for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy? Observations from a Canadian epilepsy clinic

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pooled mortality is nearly three times higher in people with epilepsy (PWE). Approximately 80% of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) events occur during sleep, and primary sleep disorders are prevalent in the general population and PWE.

Association between prehospital arterial hypercapnia and mortality in acute heart failure: a retrospective cohort study

open access: yesBMC Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background Acute Heart Failure (AHF) is a potentially lethal pathology and is often encountered in the prehospital setting. Although an association between prehospital arterial hypercapnia in AHF patients and admission in high-dependency and intensive ...

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Renal Response to Hypercapnia.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1953
SummaryAn average increase of 17.9 volume % in arterial blood CO2 concentration was produced in dogs by rebreathing from a spirometer. No evidence of significant renal vasomotor alteration was noted. However, urinary pH decreased, and sodium excretion progressively decreased to an average of 35% of control.

Visual Patterns of Diaphragmatic Motion in Acute Respiratory Failure: A Prospective Pilot Study

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 421-428, March/April 2025.
In this prospective bicentric study, we studied the relationship between the appearance of diaphragmatic motion and the etiological diagnosis of patients admitted to the emergency department with ARF. We observed a different visual pattern in patients with pneumonia. This is an interesting result as it allows the diagnosis of pneumonia without the need

Hypercapnia does not shorten emergence time from propofol anesthesia: a pilot randomized clinical study [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2018
Background The elimination of anesthetic agents is a decisive factor in the emergence from general anesthesia. In this pilot study, we hypothesized that hypercapnia would decrease the emergence time from propofol anesthesia by increasing cardiac output ...

Microbiota Modulates Cardiac Transcriptional Responses to Intermittent Hypoxia and Hypercapnia

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
The microbiota plays a critical role in regulating organismal health and response to environmental stresses. Intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia, a condition that represents the main hallmark of obstructive sleep apnea in humans, is known to induce ...

Myasthenia Gravis and Thymoma

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with a thymoma develop myasthenia gravis (MG), and an additional one third may possess positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies without MG.

Codeine and Metabolite Concentrations in the Breastfed Neonate

open access: yesPediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Analgesic effect from codeine is from its metabolite, morphine. Morphine is formed by the O‐demethylation of codeine and that enzyme is controlled by the cytochrome P450 2D6. More than 60 alleles in the CYP2D6 gene have been identified. This spectrum of polymorphism can be categorized into four groups: poor (PM), intermediate (IM), normal (NM),

Development and Relevance of Hypercapnia in COPD

open access: yesCanadian Respiratory Journal, 2021
Background. Identification of patients who may become hypercapnic, or develop acidotic hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF), is important in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to avoid hospital admission and select patients for use of home ...
