Article Synopsis
- A case study in Japan detailed a man in his 30s who attempted suicide by overdosing on risperidone and suffered from anaphylactic shock after receiving a contrast medium injection.
- Following two doses of adrenaline which did not improve his condition, he ultimately recovered after receiving sodium bicarbonate and fresh frozen plasma alongside further adrenaline infusion.
- The findings suggest that high blood levels of risperidone may lead to decreased responsiveness to adrenaline during anaphylactic shock, highlighting a potential risk for patients taking this medication.
Morphological changes in the upper airway and the resulting alteration in the nasal respiratory function after jawbone repositioning during orthognathic surgery have garnered attention recently. In particular, nasopharyngeal stenosis, because of the complex influence of both jaws, the effects of which have not yet been clarified owing to postero-superior repositioning of the maxilla, may significantly impact sleep and respiratory function, necessitating further functional evaluation. This study aimed to perform a functional evaluation of the effects of surgery involving maxillary repositioning, which may result in a larger airway resistance if the stenosis worsens the respiratory function, using CFD for treatment planning.
