Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne disease caused by Nairovirus, of the family Bunyaviridae. This is the first case report of a confirmed CCHF case without laboratory abnormality. A 36-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic with the complaints of fever, chills, myalgia and

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection was investigated as a risk factor for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by HCV antibody screening in 462 patients with ICH and 462 control patients with cerebral infarction matched by age and sex. Laboratory examinations of hemostatic parameters and cholesterol level

Hamsters were intratracheally instilled with saline solutions containing a high dose (145 to 220 micrograms) or a low dose (1.3 to 1.5 micrograms) of 3H-methylated pancreatic elastase or N-acetyl-(L-alanyl)3-L-alanine chloromethyl ketone-inactivated 3H-methylated pancreatic elastase. Only the lysyl

Ifosfamide (IF) is an alkylating cytostatic derived from nitrogen mustard. In addition to its well-known urotoxic effects (hemorrhagic cystitis), several cases of Fanconi syndrome following IF therapy have been reported. No information is available concerning the pathomechanisms of this

RGD-containing peptides and other antagonists of the platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa may induce a high-affinity binding site for fibrinogen and the expression of novel epitopes, called ligand-induced binding sites (LIBS). The functional relevance of LIBS expression in a canine model of coronary

The use of intravascular tyrosine (TYR) to enhance catecholamine release in hemorrhagic shock and other cardiovascular diseases, or as a constituent of nutrient mixtures used for total parenteral nutrition, is limited by the unusually poor solubility of the amino acid in water. We have thus examined

BACKGROUND The prognosis of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is generally poor, but few studies have focused on the analysis of prognostic factors of this catastrophic event. METHODS Eighty-four consecutive patients with ruptured HCC were included. Twenty-nine clinical and laboratory

A 59-year-old Caucasian man presented with painless jaundice for 6 weeks. He drank 70 units of alcohol per week. Examination revealed jaundice, spider angiomata and a 3 cm firm hepatomegaly. Initial bloods: bilirubin 152 µmol/L, alanine aminotransferase 1484 IU/L, alkaline phosphatase 130 IU/L,

BACKGROUND We report our initial surgical experience of intermittent upper and lower body retrograde perfusion during aortic repair under circulatory arrest. METHODS Between 2007 and 2015, 148 consecutive patients underwent surgical aortic repair using moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest with

Oral-ritodrine-hydrochloride-induced rhabdomyolysis is rare. We report a case of oral-ritodrine-hydrochloride-induced rhabdomyolysis in a pregnant woman with placenta previa without neuromuscular disorders. The patient was a 30-year-old, Japanese primigravida woman, who became pregnant

OBJECTIVE Hydrogen sulphide is an important mediator of gastrointestinal mucosal defence. The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is significantly limited by their toxicity in the gastrointestinal tract. Particularly concerning is the lack of effective preventative or curative

A twenty-year-old woman with anorexia nervosa (body mass index=11) suffered from severe liver dysfunction (aspartate aminotransferase 5,000 IU/l, alanine aminotransferase 3,980 IU/l, prothrombin time 32%), hypoglycemia (serum glucose 27 mg/dl), and pancreatic dysfunction (amylase 820 IU/l, lipase

The biological activities of the cell walls of bacteria having different types of peptidoglycans, and those of stereoisomers and analogs of muramyl dipeptide (MDP), of N-acetylglucosaminyl-beta(1-4)-N-acetylmuramyl tetrapeptides having different L- and D-amino acids at the COOH-terminus, and of
