Abstract: Concentrations of serum creatine kinase (CK) and serum lactate are frequently measured to help differentiate between generalized tonic–clonic seizures (GTCS) and syncope. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to systematically compare these two… read more here.

DOI: 10.5414/cp204269
Abstract: Anti-thyroid drugs (ATDs), such as methimazole (MMI) and propylthiouracil (PTU), are the most common treatment options for hyperthyroidism. Although effective, well-known adverse effects include agranulocytosis, toxic hepatitis, vasculitis, and arthralgias. Myalgia and elevation of serum… read more here.
