Verapamil: Fatal cardiogenic shock and liver failure in a thyrotoxic patient: case report
"Cold and wet” is the classically described presentation of cardiogenic shock and denotes the presence of cool extremities and pulmonary congestion due to LV failure and compensatory peripheral vasoconstriction, often poorly tolerated by a struggling pump.66“Cold and dry” CS, as the term suggests...

After about a week, the rash from TSS can cause your skin to peel in large sheets. What does TSS feel like? You may feel like you have the flu at first. But you'll quickly feel much sicker as the toxins from the infection start to damage your organs.Pay special attention to symptoms...
Chronic heart failure progresses to CS when impaired ventricular contractility is severe enough to cause a critical reduction in cardiac output (CO). This reduction of CO may be due to an increase in demand because of a triggering factor or to the natural progression of the disease with a ...
MSCp treatment significantly reduced vascu- lar leakage in the liver compared to the untreated HS group (%H2O: 74.82% [IQR 0.51] vs 75.66% [IQR 0.51] p < 0.0005; and Evans Blue: 122.7 μg.g−1 [IQR 34.27] vs 172.6 μg.g−1 [IQR 99.3]) p < 0.0005, for ...
In these syndromes, shock is multi-factorial and may be due to vasodilatation, non-hydrostatic protein leakage with subsequent intravascular volume depletion, hypovole- mia from diarrhea, vomiting, and fever, and myocardi- al depression [56 – 58]. The myocardial dysfunction when it occurs ...
I have never been exposed to a patient undergoing decompensated shock. Therefore, this time I was able to learn what to do in case a situation as such arises in the future on a real patient. Shock can be due to several reasons such as bleeding or severe dehydration. However, it was app...
