Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy associated with neuroblastoma is rarely reported. We report a case of catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy associated with neuroblastoma in a 33-month-old female that was treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). She was tentatively diagnosed with acute myocarditis and presented with hypertension. Because of rapid patient deterioration despite pharmacological treatments, ECMO was applied. ECMO can be helpful in cases of catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy associated with neuroblastoma.

A 41-year-old male patient presented with idiopathic persistent hiccups. The hiccups did not respond to pharmacologic treatments including cisapride, omeprazole, and baclofen. Phrenic nerve block was also ineffective. However, the persistent hiccups were successfully treated with short-term positive pressure ventilation using a short-acting muscle relaxant.

Herpes zoster as a result of reactivated varicella-zoster virus is characterized by vesicular eruptions on skin and painful neuralgia in the dermatome distribution. Pain during an acute phase of herpes zoster has been associated with a higher risk of developing postherpetic neuralgia. The current therapies for herpes zoster including analgesics and sympathetic nerve block as well as antiviral agents are important to alleviate pain and prevent postherpetic neuralgia. However, in some cases, the pain does not respond well to these treatments. We had a case in which a patient with herpes zoster did not respond to conventional therapy so we attempted to administer intravenous infusion of vitamin C which resulted in an immediate reduction in the pain.

9.Effect of neuromuscular blockade reversal by pyridostigmine on spectral entropy values during recovery from desflurane anesthesia: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: According to several studies investigating the relationship between muscle activity and electroencephalogram results, reversal of neuromuscular blockade (NMB) may affect depth of anesthesia indices. Therefore, we investigated the effect of pyridostigmine on these indices via spectral entropy. METHODS: Fifty-six patients scheduled for thyroidectomy or parotidectomy were included in this study and randomized into two groups. At the start of skin suturing, the desflurane concentration was adjusted to 4.2 vol% in both groups. Following this, the pyridostigmine group (group P, n = 28) was administered pyridostigmine 0.2 mg/kg mixed with glycopyrrolate 0.04 mg/kg, while the control group (group C, n = 28) received normal saline. Entropy values (response entropy [RE] and state entropy [SE]), train of four (TOF) ratio, and end-tidal desflurane concentration were recorded from point of drug administration to 15 minutes post-drug administration. RESULTS: Mean RE values at 15 minutes, when the maximum effect of pyridostigmine was anticipated, showed a statistically significant difference between groups (53.8 ± 10.5 in group P and 48.0 ± 8.8 in group C; P = 0.030). However, mean SE at 15 minutes showed no significant difference between the two groups (P = 0.066). At 15 minutes, there were significant differences in the TOF ratio between the two groups (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: NMB reversal by pyridostigmine significantly increased RE values but not SE values. This finding suggests that spectral entropy may be a useful alternative tool for monitoring anesthetic depth during recovery from anesthesia in the presence of electromyogram activity.

Chondromas are benign tumor of cartilaginous tissue that is rarely found in spine. The authors document a rare case of a 72 year old male patient with a cervical spinal chondroma compressing the spinal cord. The patient had symptoms of motor and sensory deficits, dysphagia and dysarthria. C1 and C2 laminotomy was done and the spinal tumor was removed. The patient gradually recovered from his previous symptom after the surgery.
