BACKGROUND Chylous ascites is a rare condition, which is defined by accumulation of a milky fluid due to high triglyceride levels. It is most commonly secondary to malignancy, liver cirrhosis, infection, and tuberculosis. CASE REPORT A 21-year-old woman from rural Indonesia, came to the hospital
OBJECTIVE
It has been reported that the prevalence of hiatal hernia (HH) and reflux esophagitis (RE) increases with age, as does the degree of arteriosclerosis. However, it has not been investigated whether or not arteriosclerosis is correlated with the presence of HH and RE. Therefore, we
BACKGROUND. Post-operative chylous effusion is rare in infants. It may result from venous thrombosis, thoracic duct injury or lymphatic vessel obstruction. This paper describes 2 cases of diaphragm hernia with post-operative chylous effusion. CASE REPORTS Case 1: A newborn developed chylous ascites
Pancreatic agenesis is a rare disease that causes neonatal diabetes mellitus and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. We report the case of a very low birth weight infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and congenital heart disease (ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus).
Chylothorax is a rarely recognised post-operative complication following repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. We report here a newborn infant with this condition which resolved with percutaneous chest drainage, total parenteral nutrition and enteral feeding of a formula high in medium-chain
Chylothorax is a recognized cause of morbidity after repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Management may include prolonged hospitalization with cessation of enteral feedings, repeated aspiration, chest tube drainage, total parenteral nutrition, and introduction of a medium chain
BACKGROUND
The authors noticed a relatively large number of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) repair after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) who had a chylothorax (CT). The data are reviewed.
METHODS
The charts of patients from 1990 until 2000 with CDH, treated with or
OBJECTIVE
Chylothoraces have been reported rarely after congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) repair, but that is contrary to the authors' experience. The aim of this study was to audit the outcome of antenatally diagnosed CDH cases to determine the incidence, possible risk factors, and morbidity
BACKGROUND
Atherosclerosis might diminish the nutrient supply to intervertebral discs (IVD), leading to disc herniation. Therefore, there is interest in determining the possible association between the blood lipid profile and lumbar disc herniation (LDH). We aimed to evaluate the association between
METHODS
A 15-kg (33-lb) pregnant female mixed-breed dog of unknown age was referred because of a 10-day history of difficulty breathing.
RESULTS
Physical examination findings were dyspnea, tachypnea, decreased bronchovesicular sounds (bilateral), muffled heart sounds, and abdominal distention with
The present study was carried out to determine the reference ranges of 43 frequently used blood tests in daily practice for physically independent patients of advanced age.We identified all patients aged ≥20 years who underwent groin hernia repair at BACKGROUND
Abnormal serum lipid levels have been shown to be associated with the occurrence of atherosclerosis, but little is known about the relationships of them with the risk of developing intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) in Chinese population.
METHODS
We performed a case-control study to
Insufficient blood supply to the intervertebral disc (IVD) has been proposed to play a role as causative factor in IVD degeneration. There is an association between IVD diseases and increased risk of dying of ischaemic heart disease. Obesity and tobacco are potential risk factors for degenerative
Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is a bariatric operation of proved efficacy especially in patients with metabolic comorbidities. The aim was to assess the results of BPD in relation to weight loss and coexisting lipid and glucose metabolism disturbances in the Polish population. Between October 2001
BACKGROUND
Scopinaro biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) for morbid obesity results in significant longterm weight loss and reduction or resolution of obesity-associated co-morbidities. The aim of our work was to describe the early results after BPD.
METHODS
59 morbidly obese patients (BMI >40)
