I love my new pots and pans, and have used so many different brands both commercial and industrial. Nothing has ever come close to these! Clean up is a dream, they heat and cook evenly, and the handles are balanced with the pot/pan so they are not awkward to hold/use. I am 110% pleased with this set. If you're looking to upgrade or just starting out, this is the set for you!!. Kitchen: Farberware Nonstick Aluminum 3-Piece Skillet Set, Silver - These pans are not worthy of the Farberware name, unfortunately...They are far too thin this leads to burnt food, warping, etc. The Teflon coating is the el-cheapo kind, a far cry from the superior coating you find on Farberware's upper-end Millenium models...

Electromyography recorded a state of constant rapid dysrhythmic discharge of independent muscle fibers. The author defined the state as myotonic afterdischarge and likened it to post-tetanic afterdischarge. Neither patient showed response to numerous medications including quinidine, procainamide, cortisone, and atropine. Treatment with PHT (100 mg q.i.d.) resulted in dramatic improvement in symptoms and electromyographic changes both at rest and on voluntary effort. In a five-year follow-up, the author reported that both patients were still well and had lost their abnormal stiffness. He noted that on the occasions when PHT had been stopped, the symptoms returned.

60. Baylor Neurology Case Of The Month Diagnosis 1) isaacs syndrome 2) Syncope The patient was then dischargedand was to be followed in clinic. A Review of isaacs syndrome. http://www.bcm.tmc.edu/neurol/challeng/pat2/summary.html

Summary and Discussion Amit Verma, M.B.B.S. Chief Resident, Department of Neurology Diagnosis: The patient was admitted to the hospital and received 6 courses of plasma exchange. He was subsequently started on oral prednisone and cyclophosphamide and during his hospital stay noticed a marked improvement in the myokymia and muscle strength. The myotonia improved as well. The patient was then discharged and was to be followed in clinic. A Review of Isaacs' Syndrome Epidemiology The condition is extremely rare and has therefore never been studied in a controlled fashion. A recent review of all reported cases by Jamieson and Katiriji in 1994 suggests an equal incidence in both sexes. The disease appears to present earlier in life with most patients being less than 40 years of age at the time of symptom onset. A study of 3 families by Ashizawa et al in 1983 suggested a dominant mode of inheritance in the familial form of the disease. Etiology and Pathogenesis The etiology of the disease remains unclear. Isaacs in 1961 was the first person to localize the disorder to the peripheral nerves. Pharmacological localization of the generator of the myokymia seems to confirm the initial observations of Isaacs. More exact localization has been less fruitful. The electrical activity appears to originate from multiple sites in the axon. There is some evidence to suggest the role of autoimmunity and, specifically, antibodies against the potassium channel in motor nerve terminals. The potential importance of circulating antibodies is supported by the fact that plasma exchange is effective in treatment of some patients with this disease. A recent case has been reported in which a patient met criteria for both Isaacs' syndrome and CIDP, another potential autoimmune disease.
