Imaging in crush injury: a spectrum of findings in survivors of the twin earthquakes on February 6, 2023
AbstractOn February 6, two major earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.8 and 7.7 on the Richter scale hit Turkey and Northern Syria causing more than 50,000 deaths. In the immediate aftermath of the earthquakes, our major tertiary medical referral center received dozens of cases of crush syndrome, presenting with a variety of imaging findings. Crush syndrome is characterized by hypovolemia, hyperkalemia, and myoglobinuria that can lead to rapid death of victims, despite their survival of staying under wreckage for days. The typical triad of crush syndrome consists of the acute tubular necrosis, paralytic ileus, and third-space ...

Severe rhabdomyolysis associated with atorvastatin. Case report
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of statin-associated rhabdomyolysis is low, however, the late elevation of CPK above 10 times its upper normal value in those patients with successful percutaneous coronary angiography should promptly draw attention, generate a diagnostic approach towards non-traumatic acquired causes of rhabdomyolysis and assess the suspension of statins.PMID:37207311 (Source: Atherosclerosis)
