Malignant Hyperthermia or Not Malignant Hyperthermia
ICU Director, 2013In an acute event, the diagnosis of malignant hyperthermia (MH) in patients in the ICU can be challenging. Initial presentation may be attributed to a gamut of causes, making the diagnosis complicated. This example is the case of a 46-year-old African American man who was admitted to the Stroke Service and intubated for respiratory distress.

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) was first identified as an anesthetic-related patient syndrome with familial tendencies in 1960. It is defined as a chain reaction of abnormalities triggered in susceptible individuals by commonly used anesthetic agents, and is classified as a hypermetabolic disorder of skeletal muscle.

The liver is the organ most commonly involved in spread of gastrointestinal cancer. Of the synchrounous liver metastases found at laparotomy, 20–25 % are due to colorectal cancer. Approximately 50 % of colorectal tumors will sooner or later give rise to liver metastases.

The effects of heat and its possible significance in cancer therapy have been documented for more than a century. Hyperthermia has been widely investigated as an alternative or adjuvant to conventional therapies such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

Malignant hyperthermia, also known as malignant hyperpyrexia, is a pharmacogenetic condition which can develop during general anaesthesia and can be fatal. The author suggests that more awareness of the condition is needed by ward-based nurses who are involved with patients undergoing surgery.

Acta Pathologica Japonica, 1982
A report is made of a 65‐year‐old male who died of a malignant hyperthermia of 42°C. Symptoms included muscle rigidity at the termination of operation for neck‐clipping of an aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery. Latent myopathy was observed in skeletal muscle, and a bleeding focus was present in the left anterior region of the hypothalamus ...

Hyperthermia and thermochemotherapy
1993The combination of anticancer drugs with hyperthermia was only recently introduced as an experimental clinical strategy. This approach within the field of medical oncology is based on the convincing evidence that hyperthermia enhances the therapeutic effect of several chemotherapeutic agents, even in drug-resistant cells. Such a combined modality is of

The term hyperthermia broadly refers to either an abnormally high fever or the treatment of a disease by the induction of fever. Its effect depends on the temperature and exposure time. The increasing number of applications and clinical trials at universities, clinics, and hospitals prove the feasibility and applicability of clinical therapeutic ...

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2003
Malignant Hyperthermia (MH) has been a recognized complication of general anesthesia after the first case reports in the 1940's. Since then a great deal has been discovered about the genetics, pathophysiology and treatment of this once fatal syndrome. MH is the only clinical entity specifically related to and caused by anesthetic agents.
