Typing "wretching" would have taken you to the correct word, "retching." Unfortunately, with all dictionaries, you need to know the basic word to look up the spelling.

Forgive me if somebody has already posted this, but for those of us that like to use the wildcard search in OneLook, they now have a feature that will allow you to sort the results by meaning.

For example, before, if you were searching for a drug that starts with an "h" and ends in "ide," you would type "h*ide" into the search box, and the search would generate 3 pages of results that you would have to sift through. However, now they have a feature that can filter the results by meaning. So if you typed "h*ide:drug" in OneLook's search box, the search will only bring back results related to drugs. In this instance it only brings up 2 single matches as opposed to 3 pages of results you would get with a general search.

You can read more about it here: http://www.onelook.com/?c=faq#patterns (under #5, Advanced tips for using wildcard patterns)

Hope this helps some of you out!

I guess Brugada is a possibility. I chose the Wipiki entry to read. Here is part of what it said:

The cause of death in Brugada syndrome is ventricular fibrillation.The episodes of syncope (fainting) and sudden death (aborted or not) are caused by fast polymorphic ventricular tachycardias or ventricular fibrillation. These arrhythmias appear with no warning. While there is no exact treatment modality that reliably and totally prevents ventricular fibrillation from occurring in this syndrome, treatment lies in termination of this lethal arrhythmia before it causes death. This is done via implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), which continuously monitors the heart rhythm and will defibrillate an individual if ventricular fibrillation is noted. Some recently performed studies had evaluated the role of quinidine, a Class Ia antiarrhythmic drug, for decreasing VF episodes occurring in this syndrome. Quinidine was found to decrease number of VF episodes and correcting spontaneous ECG changes, possibly via inhibiting Ito channels.[9] Those with risk factors for coronary artery disease may require an angiogram before ICD implantation.
