Retracted PublicationFunctional analysis of newly identified RYR1 variants in patients susceptible to malignant hyperthermia.
This study aimed to evaluate whether the three ryanodine receptor type 1 (RYR1) variants (p.Ser2345Thr, p.Ser2345Arg, and p.Lys3367Arg) which we identified in Japanese malignant hyperthermia (MH) patients with a clinical grading scale rank of 6 were causative for MH. ⋯ p.Ser2345Thr and p.Ser2345Arg appear capable of causing a calcium metabolism disorder that leads to the onset of MH, and p.Ser2345Arg can be considered as a diagnostic mutation, because it meets the European Malignant Hyperthermia Group criteria. However, patients with p.Lys3367Arg might have mutations in genes other than RYR1 that are capable of causing MH.

Retraction Of PublicationRetraction Note to: Monitoring of vecuronium-induced neuromuscular block at the sternocleidomastoid muscle in anesthetized patients.
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article [1] because the three studies included in the meta-analysis [2,3 and 4] (cited as references 16, 17 and 18) have been retracted due to concerns regarding the data, which has rendered the results of this meta-analysis invalid.
