Mutations in the skeletal isoform of the ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) pose grave risks during anesthesia or treatment with succinylcholine muscle relaxants. These can trigger a potentially lethal malignant hyperthermia (MH) episode via intracellular calcium increase mainly from RyR1 channel leakage. Dantrolene is the only known treatment option to prevent death.

Background: Modulated electro-hyperthermia (mEHT) is unique due to its combination of thermal and non-thermal effects.
Method: This report summarizes the literature on the effects of mEHT observed in vitro and in vivo.
Results: The thermal and electrical heterogeneity of tissues allows the radiofrequency signal to selectively target malignant tissue.

BACKGROUND Malignant hyperthermia (MH) and anesthesia-induced rhabdomyolysis (AIR) are rare, yet life-threatening complications that need prompt therapeutic actions and logistic preparedness for treatment success. Both conditions are triggered by general anesthetics, particularly volatiles and depolarizing muscle relaxants. In comparison with MH, which is an inherited pharmacogenomic disease of calcium channel receptor subpopulation and arises only after trigger exposure, AIR has been described mostly in patients with muscular dystrophies.

Catatonia is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome characterised by abnormal psychomotor disturbance, which poses a diagnostic and treatment challenge to clinicians. It is a life-threatening condition in its severe form, termed malignant and characterised by hyperthermia and autonomic disturbances. Early recognition and treatment are important in its management.
