We studied the value of a noninvasive, bedside, dual-radionuclide method (67Ga-circulating transferrin and 99mTc-red blood cells) to measure pulmonary microvascular permeability in efforts to discriminate between pulmonary edema due to adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and hydrostatic
Gallium nitrate (GN) was evaluated for its ability to interfere with a cute rejection of DBA/2-->C57BL/6 heterotopic cardiac allografts, in comparison with the depleting anti-CD4 mAb, GK1.5. The administration of GN for 30 days (s.c. 30 mg/kg elemental gallium on days 0 and 3, 10 mg/kg every third
OBJECTIVE : To clinically evaluate the effects of diode laser, Gallium-Aluminum-Arsenide laser (GaAlAs), on the pain and edema after secondary alveolar bone graft. DESIGN : Case-control, double-blind study. Setting : Institutional tertiary referral hospital. Participants : The sample was composed of
The purpose of this study is to report a case of cystoid macular edema (CME) as a rare first manifestation of ocular sarcoidosis after cataract surgery. A 60-year-old male developed a CME following uneventful phacoemulsification cataract extraction on his left eye. It resolved with conventional
BACKGROUND
Major neurological complications of sickle cell disease include cerebral infarction and intracranial hemorrhages.
METHODS
We describe the case of a 25-year-old man with sickle cell disease who developed a severe headache of acute onset, located at the vertex. There was associated pitting
A 65 year-old female had a node of some kind in her right leg five years ago and was diagnosed with sarcoidosis by gallium scintigraphy. Serum angiotension-converting enzyme levels had gradually increased, and three months ago she felt palpitations and dizziness when standing. On electrocardiogram,
Bone and gallium scintigraphy were performed as part of the diagnostic workup of a 21-yr-old woman who presented at our institution with a history of progressively worsening low back pain over a 1-wk period of time. The angiographic phase of the bone scan demonstrated a well-defined radionuclide
A 75-year-old male who was undergoing chronic hemodialysis developed abrupt-onset pitting edema and pain in the dorsum of both hands and feet. Biochemical analysis disclosed increased C-reactive protein, and negative rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibody. Radiological examination showed no bony
Despite the increasing use of photovoltaics their potential environmental risks are poorly understood. Here, we compared ecotoxicological effects of two thin-film photovoltaics: established copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Leachates were produced by
OBJECTIVE
To compare crystalloid and colloid fluids in their effect on pulmonary edema in hypovolemic septic and nonseptic patients with or at risk for acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. We hypothesized that 1) crystalloid loading results in more edema formation than colloid
Congenital nephrotic syndrome is a rare disorder. Heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema occur during the first 3 months of life. Initial cases were reported from Finland and sporadic cases have occurred elsewhere. Finnish cases demonstrated an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern;
We examined the effects of adhesive systems under study applied for a laser-cut cavity using an Er,Cr:YSGG laser on rat dental pulp at 24 h and 14 days postoperatively. Group 1, laser-cut cavities were treated with a self-etching-primer and bonding agent; group 2, pretreated with a phosphoric-acid,
OBJECTIVE
Viper snake envenoming induces in the victims systemic coagulopathy, and severe local tissue damage such as edema, hemorrhage, intense pain, and myonecrosis. Serumtherapy and other first-aid managements are ineffective in neutralizing these local effects. The effects of the
We report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the chest wall observed in a 94-year-old woman. She noticed appetite loss and general edema a week before admission. The patient was diagnosed as having congestive heart failure due to valvular heart disease on the basis of echocardiographic
OBJECTIVE
Using injection of gallium Ga 67 transferrin, technetium Tc 99m red cells, probes over the lungs, and blood samples, a pulmonary leak index (PLI) and pulmonary transcapillary escape rate (PTCER) for transferrin can be measured. This may help differentiating between cardiogenic pulmonary
