Spontaneous rupture of uterine surface varicose veins is rare but may become a serious complication of pregnancy.
METHODS
A 40-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 0-0-1-0, presented with worsening generalized abdominal pain after occasional nausea, vomiting and diarrhea over the previous 2
BACKGROUND
Animal bites are typically harmless, but in rare cases infections introduced by such bites can be fatal. Capnocytophaga canimorsus, found in the normal oral flora of dogs, has the potential to cause conditions ranging from minor cellulitis to fatal sepsis. The tendency of C. canimorsus
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous rupture of an intra-abdominal visceral artery is an exceptionally rare and potentially fatal cause of abdominal apoplexy.
METHODS
We present a case of a 54-year-old hypertensive male who developed hypovolemic shock in our Emergency Department after presenting with abrupt onset
Spontaneous rupture of the short gastric artery is an extremely rare event that can cause abdominal apoplexy or spontaneous hemoperitoneum. For the emergency physician, simultaneous restoration of circulatory volume and a rapid diagnosis remain central to a successful outcome in such critical cases.
Although ectopic pancreas and intussusception are not unusual conditions, intussusception caused by ectopic pancreas is extremely rare. Its presence along with a ruptured congenital mesenteric vascular band raises the possibility of an anomaly of the vitelline vascular system. We report the case of
Fifty-five hepatocarcinomas were found in a review of approximately 7,500 surgical biopsies done on Nigerian Igbos during a period of 6 years. The male: female ratio was 2.9:1 and the age peak was between 20 and 49 years. The main symptoms were abdominal swelling, pain, emaciation, jaundice, fever,

Although systemic AA amyloidosis complicating Crohn's disease has been found in 0.5 to 6% in America and Europe, it is relatively rare in Japan. We report a case of systemic AA amyloidosis complicating Crohn's disease. In 1979, a 26-year-old Japanese man presented with diarrhea, melena and perianal
Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) of childhood is a triad of acute hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure associated with a gastrointestinal prodrome. From 1977 to 1988, 134 patients with HUS were admitted to this institution. All patients presented with abdominal pain and
Hemorrhagic diseases are common in dogs. Current coagulation assays do not model all aspects of in vivo hemostasis and may not predict bleeding risk. The Total-Thrombus Analysis System (T-TAS) is a novel hemostasis assay system in which whole blood flows through microfluidic channels at
Peritoneal calcification in three patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was reviewed, and the relation between the localization and extent of calcium deposits detected by abdominal computed tomography (CT) and clinical signs was evaluated. Case 1 was a 48-year-old man with
