Does isoflurane rescue therapy for bronchospasm reduce intracranial pressure in a patient with traumatic brain injury?
Isoflurane at a low dose can be an effective and safe treatment option for drug-refractory bronchospasm in a patient with traumatic intracranial hypertension, provided that multimodality neuromonitoring is used.
Our study suggests that sequence changes of the GHR are common in children with ISS. The presence of these sequence changes in the control subjects as well as in normal stature family members indicates that these changes represent a simple polymorphism of the GHR. Such DNA changes are more prevalent than previously recognized, and they do not seem to play a contributory role in the etiology of short stature.
