Clin Exp Pediatr. 2010;53(8):805-808.   Published online August 31, 2010

Although sodium nitroprusside (SNP) is often used in pediatric intensive care units, cyanide toxicity can occur after SNP treatment. To treat SNP-induced cyanide poisoning, antidotes such as amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate, and hydroxycobalamin should be administered immediately after diagnosis. Here, we report the first case of a very young infant whose SNP-induced cyanide poisoning was successfully treated by...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(7):901-906.   Published online July 31, 1990
Right diaphrgmatic movement was recorded in 25 neontes when asleeping or in quietly awake state. Using 5-MHz transducer of Aloka 860 color echocardiography we measured those in the supine flat, supine head up, supine head down and prone flat positions. Results were as follows: 1) Normative data of right hemidiaphragmatic movement of 25 neonates were obtained in the positions. 2) Deaphragmatic movement of posterior third was significantly greater...

Han Wook Yoo, Hee Shang Youn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(10):1377-1383.   Published online October 31, 1989
The metabolic disturbances of Reye’s syndrome are many and involve carbohydrates, amino acids, free fatty acids, proteins, ammonia and acid-base balance. It has been suggested that the derangement of mitochondrial integrity by an agent or agents unknown leads to a loss of enzyme activity in many metabolic pathways in which t노e mitochondria are involoved. Of primary interests in this study is the abnormalities regarding...
