Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a potentially life-threatening event in response to anesthetic triggering agents, with symptoms of sustained uncontrolled skeletal muscle calcium homeostasis resulting in organ and systemic failure. Susceptibility to MH, an autosomal dominant trait, may be associated w
The importance of heredity in the etiology of endometrial cancer (EC) was examined in a series of 326 patients with EC diagnosed at age 60 years or less. If one or both of the proband's parents had died of cancer, a thorough family history of malignancies was studied. Altogether 29 I cases with comp
Although the defects in cellular Ca 2+ homeostasis associated with malignant hyperthermia (MH) have been extensively studied, the functional consequences of the MH mutation are not clear. We used continuous and intermittent high-frequency stimulation to determine whether this mutation might alter th
## Abstract Two children about to undergo corrective surgery were required to be investigated for malignant hyperthermia (MH). These investigations arose out of concern by the anesthetist who had obtained a history of unexplained pyrexial reactions to anaesthetic in other members of the family. Bec
