Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT; also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome) is an inherited vascular disorder with a spectrum of clinical manifestations depending on lesion distribution. Epistaxis, mucocutaneous telangiectasia, and gastrointestinal bleeding are most common. Patients with
In a 75-year-old man who had experienced a serious nosebleed, as a consequence of collapsing, the nose was packed bilaterally. An evaluation of the dyspnoeic complaints revealed abnormal blood gas values which indicated hypoxemia. Ventilation perfusion scintigraphy and a lung function test did not
Previous clinical reports indicate that nasal packing is frequently associated with arterial hypoxemia. Anesthesia and surgery in hypoxemic patients can be hazardous, especially when it is associated with acute blood loss. Nine patients with severe epistaxis, who failed to respond to anterior and
Several clinical studies have associated nasal packing in the treatment of epistaxis with hypoxemia on the basis of a possible nasopulmonary reflex. In 10 patients with epistaxis using a pneumatic nasal pack with central airway that allows a limited airflow, no changes in arterial blood gas tensions
In the field of minor ENT pathology, epistaxis can be a dramatic emergency. Appearing occasionally in 10-12% and repeatedly in 4% of the population, it is the most common emergency requiring hospitalization. Epistaxis is somewhat unpleasant for the patient and relatives: distress (pain, fever,
This work was designed to study the development of compensatory processes during posthemorrhagic anemia in 82 patients presenting with nasal bleeding (NB). The patients were allocated to three groups. Group 1 included patients with isolated episodes of NB, group 2 was comprised of patients in a
Norepinephrine (NE), dopamine, histamine and serotonin levels in the blood were measured fluorometrically in 54 patients with nasal bleedings (NB) aged 15 to 23 years. Of them, 18 patients suffered from habitual NB, 36 had NB because of hypertension. Biogenic amines were studied before and after
BACKGROUND
Epistaxis is an important emergency that can sometimes be life threatening without effective intervention. Persistent and recurrent bleeding can lead to aspiration, hypotension, hypoxia, or even severe and mortal cardiovascular complications. Providing prompt hemostasis is important, and
The goals of epistaxis treatment are control of hemorrhage, prevention of cardiovascular and airway compromise, and determination of the cause and the source of bleeding. Distinguishing anterior from posterior epistaxis is important because therapeutic approaches differ. Epistaxis can usually be
Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia or Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome is a rare genetic autosomic dominant disorder with an estimated prevalence of one in 3000-5000 individuals. This multisystemic vascular dysplasia is determined by the mutation of two main genes which are endoglin (ENG) or HHT1 and
This report presents a case of nasopharyngeal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and a literature review concerning the use of [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). A 37-year old man was admitted to hospital complaining of nasal secretions with minor
OBJECTIVE
Electromagnetic-guided placement (EMP) of a nasoduodenal feeding tube by trained nurses is an attractive alternative to EGD-guided placement (EGDP). We aimed to compare EMP and EGDP in outpatients, ward patients, and critically ill patients with normal upper GI anatomy.

OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical characteristics of infants with severe acute pulmonary hemorrhage and the effects of mechanical ventilation on gas exchange.
METHODS
Tertiary care pediatric ICU in a university hospital.

BACKGROUND
Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome is a rare disease entity that is characterized by dyspnea and desaturation in the upright position that resolves when the patient is in the supine position.
METHODS
An 80-year-old man presented with epistaxis but was noted to be hypoxic and was unresponsive
