RESUMEN

Fanconi syndrome (FS) is a complex disorder characterized by a reabsorption defect in the proximal renal tubule (PT), leading to urinary loss of molecules such as glucose, phosphate, calcium, amino acids, bicarbonate, potassium, and low-molecular-weight proteins. Its etiology can be genetic or acquired, with drug toxicity being a significant cause of the acquired forms. The heterogeneous manifestations of FS, whether in its partial or complete form, can pose challenges in the emergency department; nevertheless, it should be considered in certain patients, as understanding its cause is crucial for initiating effective treatment. We present the case of a 59-year-old female patient with FS who was treated with lenalidomide in the context of stage III IgG kappa multiple myeloma according to the Salmon Durie classification. We highlight the recurrent nature of this syndrome in this patient.

RESUMEN

A 28-year-old patient is admitted in the emergency department for management of localized pain in the left hypochondrium and left flank that appeared 48 hours before his visit to the emergency room. At the same time, the patient describes the presence of fever, odynophagia and myalgia present for 8 days. The clinical examination highlights the presence of multiple upper cervical and submandibular bilateral and soft adenopathies of about 1.5 cm. There is also an abdominal defense at the level of the left hypochondrium and the left flank. The exploration will attest the presence of a primary EBV infection associated with a splenic rupture complicated by hemoperitoneum without hemodynamic repercussions. This clinical case illustrates the presence of a rare and potentially fatal complication following a very common disease, infectious mononucleosis.

Un patient de 28 ans se présente au service des urgences pour prise en charge d'une douleur localisée au niveau de l'hypochondre gauche et du flanc gauche, apparue 48h avant son passage aux urgences. Parallèlement, le patient décrit la présence de fièvre, d'une odynophagie et de myalgies présentes depuis 8 jours. L'examen clinique met en évidence la présence de multiples adénopathies cervicales supérieures et sous-mandibulaires bilatérales et molles d'environ 1.5 cm. On note également une défense abdominale au niveau de l'hypochondre gauche et du flanc gauche. Le bilan attestera la présence d'une primo-infection à EBV associée à une rupture splénique compliquée d'un hémopéritoine sans répercussion hémodynamique. Ce cas clinique illustre la présence d'une complication rare et potentiellement mortelle au décours d'une infection très fréquente qu'est la mononucléose infectieuse.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Transnasal evaporative cooling has sufficient heat transfer capacity for effective intra-arrest cooling and improves survival in swine. The aim of this study was to determine the safety, feasibility, and cooling efficacy of prehospital transnasal cooling in humans and to explore its effects on neurologically intact survival to hospital discharge. METHODS AND RESULTS: Witnessed cardiac arrest patients with a treatment interval
