Although crystals are rarely identified on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) microscopy, their presence can be of significant diagnostic value. We report a case of oxalate crystals seen on CSF microscopy of a 43-year-old woman. The patient presented with headaches, nausea and vomiting. CT of the head showed
Diethylene glycol (DEG), an organic compound (HOCH2CH2)2O is a commonly used solvent. Mass poisoning outbreaks have been reported because of frequent contaminations. A PubMed search for diethylene resulted in 795 publications with 151 specifically discussing the toxicity. Of the 151 reported
A case of pulmonary Aspergillus niger fungus ball is presented. Crystals of calcium oxalate, presumably derived from oxalic acid produced by the fungus, were deposited in tissues around the fungus ball. The crystals were identified by x-ray diffraction analysis. Histochemical technics for the
Changes in intracellular calcium levels in canine basilar arterial smooth muscle were semiquantitatively measured by an electron microscopic cytochemical technique using a combined oxalate-pyroantimonate method. Measurements made after subarachnoid hemorrhage were compared with those made after
Fifteen range cows died of oxalate poisoning caused by ingestion of Rumex venosus. Ecchymotic and petechial hemorrhages were prominent on the abdominal serosal surfaces. Approximately 2 L of thin, yellowish fluid was in the abdominal cavity, and mesenteric lymph nodes were enlarged and edematous.
A case of suspected acute oxalate poisoning is reported in an aged male koala. The animal had extensive renal oxalosis and a haemorrhagic bladder wall when autopsied. The source of the oxalate was not detected.
We report a case of hemorrhagic pulmonary oxalosis secondary to a noninvasive Aspergillus niger fungus ball. A patient with cavitary lung disease and hemoptysis developed progressive lung infiltrates and intractable metabolic acidosis leading to death. At autopsy, aspergillomas were identified in
Chondroitin polysulfate (CPS) have inhibitory activity on stone formation of calcium oxalate. This study compared the inhibitory effect of three CPS (CPS S-I, CPS S-II, CPS S-III) with sodium pentosan polysulfate (SPP) and chondroitin sulfate (CS). Crystal growth inhibition was measured in a seeded
Acute or subacute bipallidal lesion, an uncommon radiological feature produced by metabolic disorders or poisoning, has never been attributed to ethylene glycol (EG) intoxication. This 50-year-old Afro-Caribbean alcoholic man had unexplained loss of consciousness. Blood tests showed osmolar gap.
A speech discrimination test is a test using a list of 25 phonetically balanced monosyllables. It is often overlooked but significant enough for pure tone audiometry. Many physicians have performed pure tone audiometry but without a speech discrimination test. A 73-year-old woman visited our clinic
An outbreak of acute oxalate intoxication in a sheep flock was associated to Seidlitzia rosmarinus (Chenopodiaceae) with a mortality rate of about 19%. Affected sheep showed marked azotemia and hypocalcemia. Post-mortem findings included congestion and hemorrhage in visceral organs, ruminitis
We report a 29 year old male cystic fibrosis patient with end stage lung disease and normal renal function who underwent a sequential double lung transplant. Medical history included: an ileal resection and pancreatic exocrine dysfunction. The postoperative period was complicated with haemorrhage
An outbreak of Streptococcus pyogenes infection occurred in a colony of 800 Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs resulting in 364 (46%) deaths involving breeders, sucklings, weaners, but mainly adults used as a source of blood meals for haematophagus flies (Glossina palpalis). Clinical signs included bleeding
Calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis is a common syndrome that recurs and may be complicated by infection, obstruction, bleeding, and rarely, impairment in renal function. The formation of Ca oxalate stones depends on the state of urinary supersaturation with respect to Ca and oxalate and the action of
OBJECTIVE
We present our endoscopic technique for treating ejaculatory duct and seminal vesicle diseases with a holmium laser.
METHODS
Fifteen patients with persistent hematospermia were enrolled in this study from June 2007 to April 2014. All patients had failed medical treatments. All patients
