embolism/triglyceride

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) associated to rheumatic mitral valve disease (RMVD) increases the incidence of thromboembolism (TE), with warfarin being the standard therapy, in spite of difficulties in treatment adherence and therapeutic control. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of

This study was designed to measure the effects of cerebral arterial fat embolism on cerebral blood flow and function. Rabbits were injected via the left internal carotid artery with the neutral triglyceride triolein. Left cerebral blood flow was measured by laser Doppler flowmetry, and left sided

OBJECTIVE Patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) have an increased tendency to develop thrombosis and even to progress to pulmonary embolism (PE). This study was performed to determine the incidence of PE in NS with severe hypoalbuminemia and to investigate the possible role of ventilation-perfusion

BACKGROUND It is currently thought that pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis are different manifestations of the same pathological process of venous thromboembolism. Venous thromboembolism has a negative correlation with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. OBJECTIVE Pulmonary embolism has a

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a fatal disease that arises from genetic and environmental factors. There is little evidence for low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) with hyperhomocysteinemia to lead to PE. Therefore, we evaluated homocysteine levels and lipid profile in PE patients and to

Free fatty acids (FFA) are believed to play a role in the genesis of the fat embolism syndrome (FES). Levels of plasma FFA, glucose, insulin, and the stress hormones cortisol, growth hormone, prolactin, glucagon, and catecholamines were measured on admission to hospital in: a) 14 patients with long

BACKGROUND Liposuction is a procedure to reduce the volume of subcutaneous fat by physical force. Intracellular storage fat is composed of triglyceride, whereas circulating fat particles exist as cholesterol or triglycerol bound to carrier proteins. It is unavoidable that the storage form of fat

This study assessed the one-year clinical and radiographic outcomes, in terms of pain-relief, vertebral re-fracture and complications, after vertebroplasty (VP) using a new osteoconductive cement (calcium triglyceride bone cement - Kryptonite™ bone cement, Doctors Research Group Inc., Southbury, CT,

OBJECTIVE To identify the factors influencing the prognosis of patients with acute pulmonary embolism(PE) and to establish a prognostic model. METHODS The clinical data of 331 patients (141 males and 190 females, aged 9 to 87 years ) with acute PE in Fujian Hospital from January 2007 to September

BACKGROUND Serum cholesterols play an important role in pathophysiology and prognosis of acute thrombotic diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prognostic value of serum lipid parameters in acute pulmonary embolism (APE). METHODS From January 2008 to January 2014 a total of

In considering intravenous injection of lipid as a model of fat embolism, contamination is frequent and purity must be demonstrated. Musculoskeletal trauma causes mild arterial hypoxia whereas intravenous pure triolein 0.1 mg/kg does not. Trauma produced a leukocytosis and elevated sedimentation

Fat embolism was induced in the rabbit by administering a suspension containing radioactively (triglyceride) labelled homologous fat. Different kinds of treatment were tested: Ringerdex, 2% dextran 70, 2.2% dextran 40 SoluMedrol, and EPL-a phospholipid mixture with detergent properties. It was sound

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, and lipoprotein levels were studied by electrophoresis in 43 trauma patients with multiple fractures of the lower extremities and pelvis. Ten healthy volunteers were used for control studies. The fat embolism syndrome was diagnosed in eight of the 43

The clinical syndrome of fat embolism can be a complication in patients who have suffered long-bone fracture, and has been associated with a number of conditions in which bone fracture is not a factor. The origin of embolic fat (bone marrow or depot fat versus plasma lipoproteins) has been debated.
