Calcium‐overloaded sympathetic preganglionic neurons in a case of severe sepsis with anorexia nervosa

摘要: Aim We aimed to show the status of intracellular elements in sympathetic preganglionic neurons an autopsy case a 55-year-old woman with severe sepsis and cardiac dysfunction anorexia nervosa. Methods Our methods include report pathological examinations autopsied tissues using synchrotron-generated microbeam X-ray fluorescence analysis. Results A myocardial dysfunction. The patient had sudden short arrest without arrhythmia sequelae, echocardiogram showed negative inotropic change. analysis indicated unusually high concentration cytosolic calcium neurons. However, there were no significant findings damage heart or cardiovascular autonomic nuclei central nervous system. Conclusion The data indicate that exists nervosa.
