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
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may occur in association with obesity-hypoventilation (Pickwickian) syndrome, a disorder of ventilatory control affecting individuals with morbid obesity. Through the pressor effects of chronic hypercapnia and hypoxemia, this syndrome may result in pulmonary
BACKGROUND
In 70 consecutive male patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) diagnosed at the Northport VA Medical Center Sleep Disorders Center, we have characterized the association between obesity, OSA, and pulmonary hypertension (PH).
METHODS
By including anthropometric, pulmonary function, and
Negative pressure pulmonary edema is a potentially life-threatening condition that may occur when a large negative intrathoracic pressure is generated against a 'physically' obstructed upper airway during emergence from anesthesia. We report a 35 year old male patient who is morbidly obese and
We report 2 cases of surgically resected vulval masses in women aged 27 and 40 years. One patient was wheelchair bound and the other was obese, both presented with bilateral vulvar swelling. One specimen measured 45 cm in maximum dimension and the other 5 cm and were described as grossly edematous
Background: A report on the usefulness of the instruction of lay carers in multilayer short-stretch compression bandaging within the initial intensive phase physical treatment of mixed-etiology chronic lower limb edema. Methods and Results: In a group of adult obese patients (including
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary hypertension is usually due to an underlying cardiac or pulmonary condition. An association between unexplained pulmonary hypertension and bilateral leg edema in primary care patients was found previously. We undertook this study to identify the frequency of obstructive sleep
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of postural drainage (PD) and manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) techniques on edema in the lower limbs of women with morbid obesity submitted to bariatric surgery.
METHODS
A total of 47 women between 20 and 40 yrs old with a body mass index
We describe four obese, chronically hypertensive women presenting with antepartum pulmonary edema in whom invasive hemodynamic monitoring showed elevated wedge pressure, normal to high cardiac index, and normal systemic vascular resistance. Echocardiography revealed large chambers, thick walls, and
Diabetic patients have a decreased incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome, but the mechanism responsible for the decreased incidence is uncertain. Reabsorption of alveolar edema fluid (alveolar fluid clearance) has been considered to play an important role in resolution of acute
Postoperative negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a rare, but well-known life-threatening complication of acute upper airway obstruction (UAO) which develops after general anesthesia. The pronounced inspiratory efforts following UAO lead to excessive negative inspiratory pressure, which may
BACKGROUND This study aimed to use a portable ultrasound method to quantitatively measure skin thickness and to compare leg edema in obese and non-obese pregnant women. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-six pregnant women (17 primiparas and 19 multiparas) at 27/28 and 37/38 weeks of pregnancy, with and
A 46-year-old extremely obese black woman presented with headaches, blurred vision, and visual obscurations. Her exam was notable for bilateral severe papilledema, retinal hemorrhages, and lethargy. Her CAT scan was normal, and a spinal tap revealed a very high opening pressure. Although this
A morbidly obese 44-year-old man, weighing 100 kg and 172 cm tall, was admitted to our hospital with severe burn. Forty-seven % of the total body surface area and respiratory tract were injured. Burn index was estimated to be 37. In the emergency room, his trachea was urgently intubated without
To identify risk factors in the development of arm edema (AE) after conservative management of breast cancer, the authors prospectively measured differences in upper and lower arm circumference in 282 patients with stage I or II breast cancer who received radiation. AE was defined as a difference of
