[Metoclopramide-induced respiratory dyskinesia].

This case report describes a patient, who presented with extrapyramidal side effects to the treatment with metoclopramide, which is used as an antiemetic, for gastroparesis and reflux. However, beyond its desired effect, serious neurological adverse reactions can be seen, which is why the European Medicines Agency and the Danish Medicines Agency have changed the recommendations for its use. If the extrapyramidal side effects include the respiratory muscles, the patient's ability to breathe can be affected.

[Respiratory dyskinesia].

In this review, we discuss respiratory dyskinesia, which is a rare adverse reaction to antipsychotic medications. The condition may mimic psychogenic hyperventilation syndrome or other respiratory or cardiac disorder. Respiratory dyskinesia is mostly seen in patients with tardive dyskinesia but may precede manifestations of tardive dyskinesia.

Diagnostic accuracy and radiation dose of CT coronary angiography in atrial fibrillation: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To determine by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis the diagnostic accuracy, associated radiation dose, and technical challenges of computed tomographic (CT) coronary angiography in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Materials And Methods: A systematic literature search was performed to compare CT angiography with conventional coronary angiography in patients with atrial fibrillation and to compare CT angiography in patients with atrial fibrillation with that in patients with sinus rhythm. The search yielded seven eligible studies (247 patients) in which CT angiography was compared with conventional coronary angiography.
