ascites/edema

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of azosemide in patients with edema and ascites. METHODS A multicentral, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial was applied. All 223 patients (cardiac edema 92, hepatogenic edema 63, renal edema 68) were randomized to azoesmide and furosemide

Ultrasonically documented severe fetal ascites and hydrops resulted in complete, spontaneous antenatal resolution in two cases. Both of the deliveries were uncomplicated, and the outcome of the newborns was good.

A case of non immunologic hydrops fetalis associated with parvovirus B19 infection is reported. Viral etiology was suspected by the pattern of overstimulated lymphocytes in fetal ascites and confirmed later by identification of parvovirus B19 by PCR. The cytologic finding center helps the precocious

Hereditary angioneurotic edema (HAE) is an infrequent autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a decrease in the levels or a dysfunction of the complement C1 inhibitor factor (C1 inh). The clinical presentation varies widely and involves any area of the organism. Gastrointestinal involvement is

Acute pulmonary edema, splenomegaly, and ascites were observed in a disease outbreak in adult white and pearl guinea fowl. The clinical history and gross and microscopic lesions resembled those described for marble spleen disease of pheasants and avian adenovirus group II splenomegaly of chickens. A

The cytologic changes in the smears of fetus ascites fluid with parvovirus B19 infections are described. Cytology revealed the ground-glass appearance of the nuclei having a perinuclear halo, and the nuclear chromatin was spread as a thin rim around the inclusion. Subsequently, monoclonal antibodies

1. The secretion of urine and the elimination of fluid through the intestinal canal which are caused by the intravenous injection of solution of 0.85 per cent. sodium chloride are decreased by the addition of calcium chloride to the sodium chloride solution. The secretion of urine is more markedly

Extracellular fluid volume (E.C.F.) and plasma volume (P.V.), were measured with sodium sulfate labeled with 35I and 131I human serum albumin, respectively, by the dilution technique in control subjects and in cirrhotic patients without clinical ascites or edema, renal or hepatic failure,

OBJECTIVE To describe an alternative technique for transvaginal drainage of ascites in a case of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), generalized edema, and obesity. METHODS Case report. METHODS A university-based hospital IVF and Reproductive Medicine Unit. METHODS A patient

We read with great interest the observations made by Montalvo-Gordon and colleagues regarding the potential of SGLT-2 inhibitors to ameliorate ascites and peripheral edema in patients with cirrhosis and concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), serving also as an alternative treatment option in

The subject of this study was 38 cases of non-immune hydrops fetalis and 11 cases of fetal hydrothorax and/ or ascites (FH/A), a syndrome characterized by the accumulation of pleural effusion and/or ascitic fluid, without generalized skin edema, due to various etiologies, admitted to the obstetrics

A case of severe nonimmune hydrops fetalis presenting at 24 weeks gestation is presented. Ultrasound, echocardiographic, and fetal ascitic fluid studies were nondiagnostic. Because of massive fetal ascites an indwelling peritoneal amniotic cavity shunt was placed. Despite functioning of the shunt, a

Continuous supraventricular tachycardia was induced in 13 fetal sheep for 72 to 216 hours. The PaO2 decreased from 18.1 +/- 1.2 (SEM) to 15.4 +/- 0.9 mm Hg and the PaCO2 increased from 41.5 +/- 1.2 (SEM) to 46.0 +/- 1.0 (SEM) mm Hg with pacing. The hematocrit, total protein, albumin, serum [Na+] and

BACKGROUND Radiographic findings of dengue fever have not yet been clearly elucidated in relation to clinical and serological findings, despite the fact that two-fifths of the world population lives in areas where the virus is endemic. The current study is a retrospective analysis of

OBJECTIVE Although it is an important treatment challenge to treat ascites with diuretic therapy, no objective markers have been established to assess improvement of ascites. However, change in bodyweight has been used as a marker of change in ascites volume. Thus, we evaluated the relationship
