albumin/edema

An experimental work has suggested the efficacy of metformin, an oral antidiabetic agent, on capillary permeability. This agent has been tested in 10 women patients with cyclic edema, 7 of them being obese. The capillary permeability to albumin studied by an isotope test derived from Landis's method

The purpose of this trial was to evaluate the clinical effect of Veinotonyl 75 in 42 women, 42 +/- 11 years old, with orthostatic cyclic edema. The main evaluation criterion was the result of a capillary filtration test with 99 mTc albumin which was performed at day 0 and at day 30 after treatment.

Perfusate composition may alter pulmonary hemodynamics and edema formation in perfused lungs. Perfusion for 3 h with Krebs-Henseleit solution with 3% bovine serum albumin did not produce pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary edema (assessed by lung wet-to-dry wt ratio), or increased macromolecular

Edema formation was studied using in situ rabbit lungs perfused with normal 5.0 g/dl) and low (0.1 g/dl) albumin solutions. Measurements were made of the ratio of wet weight to dry weight of the lungs corrected for the residual vascular volume, [(W/D)ev] and the ratio of extravascular 22Na+ to

Aspiration of hydrochloric acid in rabbits resulted in an increased P(A-a)O2 together with increases in both lung water volume and lung extravascular albumin. This finding suggests lung damage following acid aspiration is related to changes in capillary permeability, with pulmonary edema resulting

The regional distribution of albumin in serum extravasations of cerebral edema was visualized on intact brain slices by autoradiography of 125I-labeled antibodies directed against albumin. Following autoradiographic imaging of edema protein spread, concentrations of total serum proteins were

BACKGROUND It has been hypothesized that resuscitation with crystalloids after brain trauma increases brain edema compared with colloids, but previous studies on the subject have been inconclusive. To test this hypothesis, the authors compared groups resuscitated with either colloid or

To evaluate the effectiveness of steroids in the treatment of traumatic cerebral edema, we have hypothesized that the distribution of water and RISA is diminished by Dex and have experimentally tested this proposition with the rat model of cortical cold injury. Dex was found to have no effect on the

A case of non-immune fetal hydrops, diagnosed as mucopolysaccharidosis VII with hypoalbuminemia, was treated in utero with albumin transfusions via cordocentesis on five occasions. Blood samples were taken for analysis of full blood count and blood gases before and after the transfusions. Pulsed

Purpose: It was aimed to assess the role of thiol-disulphide homeostasis and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) level in the development of diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM).
