Previous research has documented several PAHs that interact synergistically, causing severe teratogenicity in developing fish embryos. The coexposure of CYP1A inhibitors (e.g. FL or ANF) with AHR agonists (e.g. BaP or BNF) results in a synergistic increase in toxicity. As with chemical CYP1A
Pericardial effusion in chronic hypoxemic lung diseases, such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome, usually occurs after the development of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, data about the frequency of pericardial effusions in Obstructive Sleep Apnea syndrome without pulmonary arterial
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical value of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) in diagnosing malignant and tuberculous pericardial effusion.
METHODS
Eighty patients with exudative pericardial effusion undergoing pericardiocentesis and
We report the complication of hemopericardium following superior vena cava (SVC) stenting with an uncovered Wallstent in a patient with malignant SVC obstruction. The patient collapsed acutely 15 min following stent placement with hypoxemia and hypotension. A CT scan demonstrated a hemopericardium
Loculated pericardial effusion, as a cause of acute hypoxia, is an unusual finding. Here, we describe the case of a patient who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, complicated by a localized pericardial hematoma compressing the right atrium, resulting in right to left shunting of blood
Three patients presented to our intensive care unit over a 3-yr period with profound hypoxia resulting from acute right-to-left inter-atrial shunt (RLIAS). Patient 1 was a 67-yr-old male with an atrial septal defect who became hypoxic and developed the rare sign of platypnoea following elective
Background: Eosinophilic granulomatosis polyangiitis (EGPA) is a small vessel necrotizing vasculitis that commonly presents as peripheral eosinophilia and asthma; however, it can rarely manifest with cardiac involvement such as
A novel method in the management of refractory severe hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in a patient who presented with myasthenia gravis, asthma, a symptomatic mediastinal mass, hiatal hernia, and a moderate pericardial effusion is presented. The patient was scheduled for excision of a
Primary chylopericardium is an uncommon entity, and its association with pulmonary lymphedema has been rarely reported.We describe a case of primary chylopericardium with pulmonary lymphedema developing into hypoxemia. The pulmonary lesions were histologically diagnosed as pulmonary lymphangiectasis
The primary cause of cardiac dysfunction in thalassemia is believed to be myocardial iron overload. Besides iron, other factors may play a role in the impairment of myocardial contractility, including prolonged heart tissue hypoxia, pericardial involvement, arrhythmias, endocrine complications and
OBJECTIVE
To review the anesthetic management of children requiring surgical intervention for pericardial effusion, determine the nature and frequency of complications and define risk factors that predict perioperative risk.
BACKGROUND
Anesthesia in the presence of a pericardial effusion may be
A 66-year-old man was admitted for mitral valve replacement required by a mitral regurgitation resulting in a severe heart failure. He also suffered from chronic respiratory failure, related to a left concavity cyphoscoliosis. Postoperatively, hypoxemia occurred. His chest X-ray showed a left
We present a case report of long-term response with temsirolimus in cytokine refractory metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A 74-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed with advanced RCC in November 2007 and enrolled in a phase II study to examine the safety and efficacy of temsirolimus in East Asian
