    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Hashimoto's encephalopathy is a steroid-responsive, relapsing or progressive encephalopathy associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Characteristic clinical features are confusion, seizures, alteration in conscious level, stroke-like episodes, myoclonus, and tremulousness. High CSF protein levels without pleocytosis and a diffusely abnormal EEG are typical findings. Brain CT and MRI and cerebral angiogram are usually normal. We present two case reports of Hashimoto's encephalopathy in 55- and 77-year-old patients who both responded well to steroid therapy, and review the literature.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Als Hashimoto-Enzephalopathie wird eine steroid-sensitive, schubförmig oder stetig progrediente Enzephalopathie bezeichnet, welche mit einer Hashimoto-Thyreoiditis assoziiert ist. Charakteristische klinische Befunde sind Verwirrtheit, epileptische Anfälle, Vigilanzminderung, schlaganfallähnliche Episoden, Myoklonien und Tremor. Die Liquordiagnostik zeigt meist eine Proteinerhöhung ohne Pleozytose, das EEG generalisierte und umschriebene Verlangsamungen, seltener triphasische Wellen und epilepsietypische Potentiale; die zerebrale Bildgebung mittels CT oder MRT sowie die zerebrale Angiographie sind in der Regel normal. Wir stellen 2 Patientinnen im Alter von 55 und 77 Jahren vor, bei denen die Symptome einer Hashimoto-Enzephalopathie gut auf eine Behandlung mit Steroiden ansprachen, und geben einen Überblick über die Literatur.

    Notes: Abstract Objective To compare subcutaneous (PscO2) and transcutaneous (PtcO2) oxygen tension measurements in relation to hemodynamic variables at different levels of PEEP, and to evaluate the usefulness of these measurements as monitors of peripheral tissue perfusion. Design Prospective trial. Setting Intensive care unit in a university hospital. Patients Seven patients with gastric cancer who where undergoing total gastrectomy. Interventions Silicone catheter was placed in the upper arm and transcutaneous oxygen monitor was placed on the upper part of the chest. A pulmonary artery catheter was placed in the right pulmonary artery. Measurements and results PscO2 and PtcO2 together with hemodynamic variables were measured at different levels of PEEP. Progressive increase of PEEP reduced cardiac index (CI) (p〈0.05) with a concomitant decrease of PscO2 (p〈0.05) and oxygen delivery (DO2) (p〈0.05). Changes in PtcO2 parallelled changes in arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), but no correlation was found between PtcO2, CI and DO2. Conclusion PscO2 is a sensitive indicator of subcutaneous tissue perfusion, which can be used to identify the PEEP level, with optimum peripheral perfusion. PscO2 seems to be a more reliable indicafor of tissue perfusion than PtcO2.
