Background: Prader-Willi syndrome is characterised by hyperphagia and binge eating, without regurgitation.
Case Description: We present a 16-year-old girl with Prader-Willi syndrome exhibiting loss of appetite, stomach ache and regurgitation. Gastro-enteritis was suspected.
Objective: This study was designed to establish the reliability of neurologic examination, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and median nerve somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) to predict poor outcome in patients treated with mild hypothermia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Methods: This multicenter prospective cohort study included adult comatose patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after CPR and treated with hypothermia (32-34°C). False-positive rates (FPRs 1 - specificity) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for pupillary light responses, corneal reflexes, and motor scores 72 hours after CPR; NSE levels at admission, 12 hours after reaching target temperature, and 36 hours and 48 hours after collapse; and SEPs during hypothermia and after rewarming.
