Cerebral blood flow velocity (C.B.F.V.) was estimated in 49 newborn babies by calculating the pulsatility-index (P.I.) of the anterior cerebral arteries (A.C.A.) using Doppler ultrasound. We studied the changes in P.I. of the A.C.A. in relation to the clinical condition in three full-term babies
1. In the experiments recorded in this paper the influence of the osmotic pressure of the blood upon absorption of fluid from the peritoneal cavity becomes apparent. Nephrectomy, removal of the adrenals, and other operations increase the osmotic pressure of the blood and increase the absorption of
BACKGROUND
Common causes of non-traumatic acute cerebral edema include malignant hypertension, hyponatremia, anoxia, and cerebral vascular accident. The computed tomographic images and data obtained during care of the patient described in this case report provide evidence that hypercarbia can cause
Abnormal restricted diffusion on magnetic resonance imaging is often associated with ischemic stroke or anoxic injury, but other conditions can present similarly. We present six cases of an unusual but consistent pattern of restricted diffusion in bilateral hippocampi and cerebellar Cerebral edema as a complication of the therapy of diabetic coma has been described for over 50 years, although modern awareness dates to about 1967. Almost all cases have occurred in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Although a few cases of cerebral edema have been reported in patients
A case is reported of fatal acute cerebral oedema occurring in a 15-year-old child suffering diabetic ketoacidosis. He had severe gastro-enteritis, with a weight lose of 8 kg over a period of 8 days (initial weight = 50 kg). He was admitted in a stupor with pH 7.15, 129 mmol.l-1 natraemia, and 31
Sodium, the most important extracellular fluid electrolyte, is the focus of several homeostatic mechanisms that regulate fluid and electrolyte balance. Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte abnormality caused by an actual sodium deficiency or extracellular compartment fluid excess. Clinical symptoms
The fat embolism syndrome is a well-defined clinical entity that can usually be recognized in patients who have long-bone fractures. Cerebral symptoms of restlessness, confusion, stupor, and coma correlate with the autopsy findings of fat in the brain, but the amount of fat or amount of petechial
The paper is concerned with the use of peridural anesthesia (PA) in operations for struma in a considerable size and retrosternal localization of the latter, thyrotoxicosis, grave concomitant lesions. The authors have employed PA in 12 patients, in 2 of them in association with endotracheal
The linear and volumetric blood flow velocity in the ascending aorta and pulmonary artery conus, right-left ventricular ejection balance, pulmonary and femoral arterial blood pressures, pulmonary microcirculation in fat pulmonary microembolism induced during the routine and high-frequency jet lung
Petroleum products including crude oils and refined distillates are unique environmental pollutants consisting of thousands of compounds with varying physical-chemical properties and resulting toxicity for aquatic biota. Hence, for a reliable risk assessment individual petroleum product toxicity
