We report a 41-year-old male of citrullinemia associated with argininosuccinate acid synthetase deficiency. He was admitted to the Hitachi General Hospital because of finger tremor, restlessness and urinary incontinence. He had short stature and a poor appetite. Laboratory evaluation was summarized as follows: mild hypoglycemia, low plasma cortisol levels, delayed response of 17-OHCS and 17-KS to ACTH administration in urine, and delayed response of plasma ACTH level to insulin administration. I

BACKGROUND: This prospective, randomized, double-blind study aimed to determine whether caudal midazolam combined with ropivacaine affects anesthetic requirements, recovery profiles, and post-operative analgesia compared with ropivacaine alone in pediatric day-case hernioplasty. METHODS: Sixty boys (2-5 years old) received caudal injections of 0.2% ropivacaine 1 ml/kg and epinephrine 1 : 200,000 with (RM group) or without (R group) 50 microg/kg of midazolam under sevoflurane anesthesia. The sevo

We describe our initial experience of the perioperative anesthetic care provided to 8 years old female child with argininosuccinic acidemia undergoing living-related liver transplantation because it is the only available therapy for end-stage liver disease. Induction and maintenance of anesthesia has been conventional method. Arterial catheterized at radial and femoral arteries for continuous blood pressure monitoring and sampling. 18 G central vein catheterization was placed in left subclavian

Product safety is a significant issue, and leading industrialized nations, which are largely based on manufacturing, invest considerable time and resources to address product safety-related challenges. The social issues surrounding product safety can directly impact consumers’ health and safety, and failing to comply with product safety standards or providing inaccurate information to consumers can infringe on consumer rights. Therefore, product safety must be approached as a social issue with b

Background: Some studies reported that lowering central venous pressure (LCVP) during liver resection could significantly reduce the intra-operative blood loss, however it is still controversial concerning LCVP induced renal dysfunction, hypovolemia, hemodynamic instability. This study evaluated the association of low central venous pressure with blood loss during liver resection comparing the control group.

We report a patient who developed a hydromediastinum associated with the insertion of a central venous catheter. A 32-year-old male, who presented for left nephroureterectomy, had a central venous catheter inserted after general anesthesia. The patient subsequently showed acute respiratory distress after extubation. His right neck was severely edematous and the chest radiograph revealed a widened mediastinal shadow. The exploratory neck incision showed fluid collection at the neck and mediastinu

<h3>Background</h3> While platelets have been known to play a key role in the pathophysiology of ISR throughout the cascade of inflammatory responses leading to neointimal hyperplasia, the quantitative association between in-stent restenosis (ISR) and platelet function in patients treated with carotid artery stenting (CAS) remains poorly documented. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the degree of ISR following CAS using computed tomographic angiography (CTA), examine its relationship with platelet
