OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical course of advanced juxtapapillary retinal capillary hemangioblastomas (RCH) associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease treated with systemic sunitinib malate, an agent that inhibits both anti-vascular endothelial growth factor and anti-platelet-derived growth

We experienced perioperative management of a patient with Quincke's edema who underwent clipping of ruptured intracranial aneurysm. At the time of presentation, he complained of lip and tongue swelling. We administered dl-chlorpheniramine malate and tranexamic acid perioperatively to prevent further

A supramaximal dose of caerulein (5 micrograms/kg.hr for 3.5 hours) caused edematous acute pancreatitis in rats, characterized by portal hyperamylasemia (32 +/- 3 U/ml) and pancreatic edema (pancreatic water content, 86 +/- 2%) [control group: amylase, 8 +/- 1 U/ml; water content, 74 +/- 2%]. In

Results from this study indicate that caffeine (at an embryotoxic dose equal to the LD40 administered to 3-day chick embryos produced both ultrastructural and functional abnormalities in embryonic cardiac mitochondria. The principal effects of caffeine on the ultrastructure of embryonic myocardial

Patients with burn injuries to more than 10% of the body surface area (BSA) are in potential danger of traumatic hypovolemic shock and from 20% BSA a generalized burn edema can occur. In the preclinical setting an increased infusion therapy is generally unnecessary. Clinical circulation therapy is

The present study investigated the protective effect of a new potent synthetic protease inhibitor, E-3123 (4-guanidinobenzoate methanesulfonate) on the exocrine pancreas in the caerulein induced experimental pancreatitis both in-vivo and in-vitro at 3 different doses (1, 2, and 5 mg/kg.hr). This

BACKGROUND Long-term hypoxia (LTH) is an important stressor related to health and disease during development. At different time points from fetus to adult, we are exposed to hypoxic stress because of placental insufficiency, high-altitude residence, smoking, chronic anemia, pulmonary, and heart

Inorganic lead, added to the diet of suckling rat in high doses, produces an encephalopathy similar to that seen in the immature human. Pathologic changes of edema and hemorrhage are seen earliest and are most prominent in the cerebellum. In this study, we measured respiration in cerebral hemisphere

Effects of ammonia on astrocytes play a major role in hepatic encephalopathy, acute liver failure and other diseases caused by increased arterial ammonia concentrations (e.g., inborn errors of metabolism, drug or mushroom poisoning). There is a direct correlation between arterial ammonia

Histologic investigations together with histochemical and photometric measurements of enzyme activities were performed in retina of rabbits, whose blood supply had been totally interrupted for 1h. A retinal edema developed affecting the internal layers between the inner limiting membrane and the

The lungs of mice having survived three inoculations with influenza virus A/PR8/34 (H1N1) repeated at 7-day intervals (an experimentally induced "chronic" influenza infection) were subjected to histological, electron optic, histochemical and histoenzymatic investigations. Hyperemia, edema and

Citrin, encoded by SLC25A13, is a component of the malate-aspartate shuttle, which is the main NADH-transporting system in the liver. Citrin deficiency causes neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis (NICCD), which usually resolves within the first year of life. However, a small number of adults with

This study compares the metabolism and functional responses of adult and immature hearts to a standard ischemic insult. Ten adult dogs (25 to 27 kg) and 10 puppies (6 to 10 weeks old) underwent 45 minutes of aortic clamping on bypass. Preoperative and postoperative ventricular performance (Starling
