An early activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis occurs during sepsis, leading to the syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Obesity has been demonstrated to be a hypercoagulable and hypofibrinolytic state, but its impact on DIC has never been studied. In this study, we aimed
A child with respiratory failure and cor pulmonale secondary to the obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) was found to have abnormal beta-endorphin levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum. A single iv dose of 10 microgram/kg of naloxone early in the course of respiratory failure resulted in
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the association between obesity (body mass index [BMI] 30 or higher) and dilation and evacuation (D&E) complications.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women who underwent D&E abortion from February 2009 to April 2013 at a hospital-based abortion practice in
Background: Obesity accompanied by excess ectopic fat storage has been postulated as a risk factor for severe disease in people with SARS-CoV-2 through the stimulation of inflammation, functional immunologic deficit and a pro-thrombotic
BACKGROUND
Data are scarce about ICU patients with malignancy and severe pulmonary embolism. Here, our main objective was to identify risk factors for life-threatening complications, organ failures, and death in ICU patients with severe pulmonary embolism, with special attention to the impact of
We report the case of a 22-year-old obese woman with severe protein S deficiency, probably genetic in nature, associated with recurrent venous thrombosis. Protein S deficiency is a rather rare disease: it may be an inherited, either homozygous (purpura fulminans at neonatal age), heterozygous, or
Suction lipoplasty is practiced popularly for obesity control and cosmetic purposes and severe complications are rare. We report the first documented case of acute renal failure, with anuric period, that developed after excessive bleeding following cosmetic liposuction. The use of homocoagulase and
When compared to 32 healthy normal weight normolipidemic control subjects, plasma protein C antigen and serum cholinesterase activity were significantly decreased in 17 patients with decompensated cirrhosis of the liver and in 29 critically-ill surgical patients displaying the acute phase reaction,
A 34-year-old obese woman with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection diagnosed a year earlier was seen because of nausea, vomiting, and intermittent diarrhea for 3 weeks. Her current medications included zidovudine. Physical examination revealed tachypnea and tender hepatomegaly. Computed
Severe maternal morbidity continues to be an issue of national and global concern and is increasing in incidence. The incidence of infertility is also on the rise, and infertile women experience a higher risk of incident chronic medical disease and cancer, suggesting that fertility may During pregnancy the concentrations of many coagulation factors are increased what leads to a "physiological" hypercoagulability status and constitutes a natural protection against delivery hemorrhage. These changes may be conducive to venous thrombembolism. Antithrombin is one of the endogenous
BACKGROUND
There have been no nationwide surveys of postoperative adverse events (AEs) after musculoskeletal tumor surgery focusing on their severity. Therefore, we developed a nomogram to predict severe AEs after musculoskeletal tumor surgery.
METHODS
We identified patients in the Diagnosis
We report a fatal case of heatstroke in an obese boy who developed multi-organ failure. Six other cases of exertional heatstroke admitted to our hospital over the last 5 years were also reviewed. All of them showed some degree of renal impairment. The causes of renal failure are multifactorial, with
BACKGROUND
Rhabdomyolysis occurs when injury to skeletal muscle disrupts the integrity of the sarcolemmal membrane, allowing release of intracellular proteins into the circulation. Serious complications, such as hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, compartment syndrome, cardiac
Published and unpublished spontaneously reported thrombotic adverse events (AEs) in factor VIII inhibitor bypass activity (FEIBA(R)) recipients were compiled for the most recent 10-year period during which FEIBA(R) units equivalent to 3.95 x 105 typical infusions were distributed worldwide. A total
