We report five cases of vomiting associated with a very important increase of maternal plasma uric acid (> 595 mmol/l, 100 mg/l) at the third trimester of pregnancy. In all cases, elevation was transitory and regressive with rehydratation. Pregnancies proceeded normally to term and delivered healthy
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to investigate the utility of an admission battery of findings and laboratory data in the discrimination of patients with severe preeclampsia with or without HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet count) syndrome at high risk for
BACKGROUND

Intramural hematoma of the esophagus is a rare injury causing esophageal mucosal dissection. Forceful vomiting and coagulopathy are common underlying causes in the elderly population taking antiplatelets or anticoagulation agents. Acute retrosternal pain followed by hematemesis and dysphagia
