Rhabdomyolysis induced by exercise is a very well known entity, several cases has been reported in the literature related with strenuous activities, weight lifting, marathon running, overexertion in an untrained person, knee bends, etc. We reported an interesting case of exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis in a 25 year old Hispanic male, after resuming his regular physical activity, with the highest creatine kinase described in the literature, successfully treated with aggressive hydration only and no complications.

During the harvest of Ilex paraguariensis, approximately 2-5 tons per hectare of thick stems are left on the soil surface. The outer portion of these stems, referred to as the coproduct, constitutes 30% of the total residue mass. Although this coproduct has been partially characterized in terms of its phytochemical profile, its technological applications remain unexplored.

Use of Hemoadsorption and Continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis With Enhanced Middle Molecule Clearance in Drug-Induced Rhabdomyolysis.

Case Rep Crit Care

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Kreiskliniken Günzburg-Krumbach, Krumbach, Germany.

Drug-induced rhabdomyolysis has become increasingly prevalent due to the rising use of medications such as statins, antidepressants, and antipsychotics. These can lead to muscle cell destruction and the release of myoglobin, potentially causing kidney damage. Recent advancements include the use of CytoSorb hemoadsorption as a promising therapy to remove myoglobin and other potentially toxic substances from the bloodstream.

Effect of estrogen on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in male and female rats and related mechanism.

Steroids

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutical Toxicology, School of Pharmacy, China Medical University, Shenyang 110122, China. Electronic address:

Due to the difference of estrogen levels in different phases of estrous cycle, it is necessary to exclude the influence of endogenous estrogen when studying the cardiovascular effects of estrogen and its analogues. In this study, the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of isolated heart were investigated in female rats during different phases of estrous cycle with male rats as comparison. The results indicated that the estrogen content in blood of rats during metestrus and diestrus (MD) was lower than those during proestrus and estrous (PE).

Background And Hypothesis: Convergent evidence shows the presence of brain metabolic abnormalities in psychotic disorders. This study examined brain reductive stress and energy metabolism in people with psychotic disorders with impaired or average range cognition. We hypothesized that global cognitive impairment would be associated with greater brain metabolic dysregulation.
