hyperemesis gravidarum/necrosis

Although a large portion of the capitate is supplied by a single nutrient vessel, avascular necrosis of the capitatum is a rare condition. Its etiology is not clear, but a number of factors are linked to its pathogenesis including: repetitive trauma, dorsal instability of the carpus, Gaucher

BACKGROUND Adenosine is an important metabolic modulator and adenosine concentrations are affected by sympathetic nerve stimulation and cytokine production. Since hyperemesis gravidarum is characterized by overactivation of sympathetic nerves and enhanced production of tumor necrosis factor

BACKGROUND Adenosine is an important metabolic modulator and its concentrations are affected by sympathetic nerve stimulation and cytokine production. Since hyperemesis gravidarum is characterized by overactivation of sympathetic nerves and enhanced production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha,

OBJECTIVE To compare serum cytokine levels in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum with levels in healthy pregnant and nonpregnant women. METHODS Case-control study. METHODS Clinical and academic research center. METHODS Thirty women with hyperemesis gravidarum, 30 healthy women in the first

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether serum levels of neopterin and inflammatory markers including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and oxidative status indicators were altered in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) compared to asymptomatic pregnant

Eleven out of 36 autopsied cases of Wernicke's encephalopathy had developed coma. None of these patients had the diagnosis during life. There were six men and five women with ages ranging from 26 to 50 years (mean 36.6). Seven of these patients were heavy drinkers, three exhibited signs of severe

BACKGROUND Scirpus yagara Ohwi is a perennial, aquatic plant, whose dry tubers have long been used as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) "Sanleng" for the treatment of postpartum abdominal pain, hyperemesis gravidarum, amenorrhea, dyspepsia and several inflammatory related diseases. Although it is

Acute renal failure is a most challenging clinical problem when it occurs in pregnancy. It requires an understanding of the normal physiology of the kidney in pregnancy and the natural history of different underlying renal diseases when pregnancy occurs. Because patients with chronic renal disease

Kidney disease and pregnancy may exist in two general settings: acute kidney injury that develops during pregnancy, and chronic kidney disease that predates conception. In the first trimester of pregnancy, acute kidney injury is most often the result of hyperemesis gravidarum, ectopic pregnancy, or

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is costly and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. An understanding of the renal physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy is essential for proper evaluation, diagnosis, and management of AKI. As in the general population, AKI can occur from prerenal,

Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a manifestation of an aberrant fertilization event that leads to a proliferative process and, potentially, to an invasive neoplasm. The spectrum of GTD includes hydatidiform moles (complete and partial), invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, and placental site

OBJECTIVE To determine the etiology and outcome of Acute Renal Failure (ARF) in pregnancy. METHODS A case series. METHODS Nephrology Department of the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, from August 2007 to July 2008. METHODS Pregnant women who were healthy previously and had developed ARF,

In 1-5% of patients during childbearing years recurrent miscarriages (RM) occur. There are established risk factors like anatomical, endocrine and hemostatic disorders as well as immunological changes in the maternal immune system. Nevertheless, further elucidation of the pathogenesis remains a
