neuroblastoma/edema

The authors describe a very rare case of feto-placental anasarca of non-immunological cause (AFPNI) which was secondary to a fetal neuroblastoma. The diagnosis was suspected before birth thanks to ultrasound. After birth a further ultrasound study as well as an anatomo-pathological study were

A case of fetal neuroblastoma of the right adrenal gland, with rapid development of hydrops fetalis due to catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy, is reported. A fetus with a right suprarenal mass detected during ultrasonography at 32 weeks gestation progressively developed into hydrops fetalis by

A white primigravida with acute toxemia and hydramnios delivered a hydropic male infant who died. A neuroblastoma of the right adrenal gland was found with metastic spread to the liver and other organs. The placental capillaries contained tumor cells. Pathogenesis of hydrops, hydramnios, and

Congenital extra-adrenal neuroblastoma is a rare condition, which typically has a favorable prognosis. We present a unique case of extra-adrenal retroperitoneal neuroblastoma diagnosed by fetal magnetic resonance imaging, which ultimately leads to fetal hydrops and neonatal death.

UNASSIGNED To describe a case of a patient who presented with hypertensive retinopathy and was found to have neuroblastoma. UNASSIGNED Neuroblastoma has three main ocular presentations. As a primary disease, it can present with a paraneoplastic syndrome in the form of opsoclonus, or it can present

The authors report on an infant suspected of having been abused, who presented with periorbital edema and ecchymoses (clinical "raccoon eyes"). The pattern of the nuclear medicine bone scan suggested neuroblastoma rather than trauma. Both the bone scan and the subsequent MIBG scan revealed multiple

Ostreolysin A (OlyA) and pleurotolysin B (PlyB), isolated from edible oyster mushrooms, form a cytolytic complex (OlyA/PlyB) in membrane cells that causes respiratory arrest. This study evaluated the mechanisms underlying cytotoxic OlyA/PlyB activity in neuroblastoma NG108-15 cells. Confocal

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish a model of bacterial translocation (BT) in neuroblastoma-bearing mice. METHODS A suspension of 1 x 10(6) cells of the murine neuroblastoma cell line C1300 was injected subcutaneously into the thighs of 8-week-old female A/J mice, which were then

Fifty cases of nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis found in Japanese infants are reported. Nonimmunologic hydrops fetalis is associated with various pathological conditions, twin transfusion syndrome including acardiac monsters, fetal heart diseases, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, pulmonary

Bradykinin-related peptides, kinins, ubiquitously occur in the nervous system and together with other pro-inflammatory mediators contribute to pathological states of that tissue such as edema and chronic pain. In the current work we characterized the kinin-forming system of neuronal cells obtained
