The MH Knowledge Bank is a blog that contains answers to questions about Malignant Hyperthermia from healthcare professionals and patients.

The 2013 MH Scientific Conference happening in Toronto on November 1-2 allows clinicians and scientists to share new data and utilize this information in their current strategies for patient diagnosis and management. The conference also provided motivation for new research efforts, which will not only help progress the field of MH research, but will also contribute to the understanding of muscle dysfunction and disease.

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) is a drug-induced disorder that is a rare and potentially fatal complication of treatment with antipsychotic drugs used for mental illnesses and other conditions. The defining features of NMS include fever, muscle rigidity, confusion and changes in heart rate, blood pressure and rate of breathing. Although NMS is rare, the widespread use of these drugs suggests that medical professionals need to be aware of it.

This group is for leadership and staff for the North American MH Registry.

This Group discusses ideas and plans ways to increase awareness about Malignant Hyperthermia.
