A 69-year-old man with epigastralgia and vomiting continuing for 7 hours was transported to this department. At the time of examination, he was drowsy and in a state of shock. He showed a markedly distended abdomen and epigastric tenderness. Arterial blood gas showed hypoxia and severe metabolic
We present the case of a young woman who suffered cardiogenic due to by Coxsackie virus B6. The patient attended a private clinic with an acute gastroenteritis and after one hour of receiving hydratation,she developed hypotension and shock, severe hypoxemia and bilateral lung infiltrate. The patient
Chronic gastrointestinal ischemia (CGI) is the result of decreased mucosal perfusion. Typical histological characteristics are lacking which hamper its early diagnosis. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is expressed under acute hypoxia. We investigated HIF-1α expression in chronic ischemic and
The study was performed on 20 piglets of both sexes. The control group consisted of 10 healthy piglets, the experimental, group included 10 piglets with symptoms of gastroenteritis. All the animals were subjected to euthanasia at the age of 21 or 35 days (weaning), or 7 days after weaning, and
A 19-year-old man with a one-year history of vaping with multiple emergency room visits for acute gastroenteritis like symptoms was noted to have asymptomatic hypoxia with a PaO2 of 65 mmHg. Computed tomography revealed bilateral nodular lung infiltrates. History was negative for travel, allergies,
BACKGROUND
Aeromonas species, particularly Aeromonas hydrophila, cause a wide spectrum of diseases in human being such as gastroenteritis; soft tissue infections including necrotizing fasciitis, meningitis, peritonitis, and bacteremia; but pneumonia and respiratory tract infections are
Metabolic acidosis occurs frequently in small children. The most common causes are hypoxia, sepsis, gastroenteritis and hypovolaemia. Calculation of the anion gap is useful in establishing the cause. An increased anion gap represents unmeasured anions, e.g. lactate in lactic acidosis. Metabolic
Renal cortical necrosis, renal medullary necrosis, and combined renal cortical-medullary necrosis result from renal ischemia without vascular occlusion. Renal hypoperfusion and ischemic injury in infants have been ascribed to massive blood loss, hemolytic disease, septicemia, and severe hypoxemia.
In children, acute pancreatitis has been reported in IgA vasculitis, Kawasaki disease, systemic lupus erythematosus-associated vasculitis, and juvenile dermatomyositis-associated vasculitis. However, its frequency in these vasculitides has been shown to be low. In other childhood-onset vasculitides,
Rhabdomyolysis is a potential life-threatening condition characterized by a rapid destruction of striated muscle cells. Causes include trauma, muscle hypoxia, drugs, malignant hyperthermia, infections, toxins and metabolic myopathies. We report a case of a 52-year-old man with hereditary
Retrospective epidemyological studies evidence that infant diseases leave survivors with an increased susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases in later life. At the same time, the mechanisms of this link remain poorly understood. Based on medical statistics reporting that infectious gastroenteritis
Eating mushrooms known to contain amatoxin is fraught with serious complications. The analysis of the relevant literature publications revealed no article with the description of the histological picture of the internal organs in the subjects intoxicated with amatoxin. It is known, however, that
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether delayed capillary refill time (>3 seconds) is a useful prognostic indicator in Kenyan children admitted to hospital.
METHODS
A total of 4160 children admitted to Kilifi District Hospital with malaria, malarial anaemia, acute respiratory tract infection (ARI), severe
A 6 month-old mulatto boy was admitted on account of acute gastroenteritis, malnutrition and dehydration. In the hospital, the child developed septicemia, and temperature reached up to 38.6 degrees C. Despite intensive antibiotic treatment the patient died 12 days after admission. Necropsy disclosed
BACKGROUND
It has been over 20 years since a national review of recorded deaths from snake envenoming. The present study aimed to provide an updated review of the epidemiology of deaths from snake bites in Australia.
METHODS
Deaths were identified from January 2000 to December 2016 from the National
