Patients presenting to the emergency department with paralysis can have a wide differential diagnosis. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare disorder causing transient flaccid paralysis in the...
Our aim was to report our experience with TPP at a tertiary care center in the United States....
A retrospective chart review was conducted between January 2006 and February 2022 to identify cases of TPP and determine their demographic and clinical characteristics. Prevalence of TPP was estimated...
Thirty-three patients with TPP were identified. All of the patients were male; median age was 28 years, and 85% were Hispanic. All patients had hypokalemia at presentation and 23% had rebound hyperkal...
Young Hispanic men presenting with paralysis should be evaluated for TPP, as the prevalence in this population may be higher than estimated previously. Management of TPP involves treatment of underlyi...
Hypothyroidism, a commonly encountered thyroid disorder, usually manifests with readily recognizable typical features. However, an unusual presentation of a classic thyroid disorder may hinder accurat...
Neural plasticity allows us to learn skills and incorporate new experiences. What happens when our lived experiences fundamentally change, such as after a severe injury? To address this question, we a...
A male patient in his late 30s with a history of Lynch syndrome and colorectal cancer relapse, which recently started chemotherapy, was admitted to the emergency department with acute lower limb weakn...
Hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HyperKPP) is a rare disease with significant anaesthetic implications. We compare two perioperative courses in the same patient. The first surgery resulted in paralysi...
The determinants and driving forces of communication abilities in the locked-in state are poorly understood so far. Results from an experimental-clinical study on a completely paralyzed person involve...
Information regarding frequency, details of neurological signs and recovery patterns of patients with secondary hypokalaemic paralysis (HP) is limited. This study aimed to analyse the frequency, aetio...
The clinical and laboratory records of 18 consecutive patients with secondary HP aged ≥ 18 years admitted to our hospital between April 2011 and March 2022 were reviewed. Patients with inherited hypok...
Of the 18 patients, 16 had a common aetiology: chronic alcoholism, diarrhoea or an imbalanced diet. Initial symptoms, such as fatigue, were often atypical. Three patients had prominent asymmetric limb...
Secondary HP can be caused by a variety of conditions, but mainly occurs due to lifestyle conditions/disorders. Secondary HP often presents with atypical symptoms, and the initial symptoms can be non-...
Acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance continues globally as part of the World Health Organization's goal to eradicate poliomyelitis. The Australian Paediatric Surveillance Unit (APSU), Paediatric...
Data were reported nationally by paediatricians via prospective APSU surveillance, PAEDS surveillance nurses at five tertiary paediatric hospitals and NERL from 2007 to 2017. Children aged 0-15 years ...
Of 590 AFP-compatible cases, 49% were male; 47% were aged 0-4 years, 9% aged <1 year. Annual incidence of AFP was 1.3 cases per 100,000 children aged <15 years. Lower limb paralysis was the most frequ...
Estimated incidence of GBS, ADEM, and TM in Australian children was comparable with international rates. There was stable incidence of AFP in Australian children between 2007 and 2017. GBS, ADEM, and ...
Robotic exoskeletons leverage technology that assists people with spinal cord injury (SCI) to walk. The efficacy of home and community exoskeletal use has not been studied in a randomized clinical tri...
