obesity/hemorrhage

Asian palm civets (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), or toddy cats, belong to the family Viverridae. Little is known about the pathology of these animals and few articles have been published, mainly concerning their important role as wild reservoir hosts for severe infectious diseases of domestic animals

The purpose of the study was to determine blood loss, transfusion risk, and incidence of immediate postoperative complications in normal, overweight, and I-II obese patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (SBTKA).

We

UNASSIGNED Obesity can result in increased blood loss, which is correlated with poor prognosis in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Clinical application of tranexamic acid is effective in reducing blood loss in TKA. However, most previous studies focused on the effect of tranexamic acid in the whole

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of obesity measured by body mass index (BMI) with mortality and functional outcome in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS Data were from 1571 patients with ICH enrolled in a national, multi-centre, prospective, hospital-based register:

BACKGROUND Postoperative hemorrhage is one of the serious complications of adenotonsillar surgery. This study seeks to investigate the relationship between post-tonsillectomy/adenotonsillectomy hemorrhage in the pediatric population and obesity, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), adenotonsillar

BACKGROUND The current guidelines do not recommend increasing the dose of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rt-PA) for ischemic stroke patients weighing >100 kg. Obese patients are therefore receiving an IV rt-PA dose <0.9 mg/kg; however, the consequences of such underdosing

BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that morbid obesity may be an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes in patients with traumatic injuries. OBJECTIVE In this study, a theoretic analysis using a derivation of the Guyton model of cardiovascular physiology examines the expected impact of obesity on

Stress hyperglycemia following trauma has been shown to potentiate morbidity and mortality. Glucose control in obese patients can be challenging due to insulin resistance. Thus, understanding the mechanisms for glucose generation following hemorrhage may provide important insights into alternative

BACKGROUND To evaluate the effectiveness of the levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in obese women with heavy menstrual bleeding in Counties Manukau Auckland area, New Zealand. METHODS Prospective observational study in a tertiary teaching hospital. Twenty women with heavy menstrual

Haemorrhage due to laceration of the proximal inferior epigastric artery during femoro-popliteal PTA in an obese 79-year-old woman is reported as a rare complication of a high antegrade femoral puncture. The post procedural haemorrhage was caused by a high antegrade puncture lacerating a low

Life-threatening intractable uterine bleeding is difficult to treat when concurrent medical complications contraindicate invasive surgery. We present a case of heavy uterine bleeding in a postmenopausal woman that was complicated by liver cirrhosis and morbid obesity. The bleeding was successfully

We have shown that obese Zucker rats with orthopedic trauma (OZT) exhibit a loss of arteriolar tone in skeletal muscle. We hypothesize that the loss of arteriolar tone in OZT blunts vasoconstrictor responses to hemorrhage, resulting in an impaired blood pressure recovery. Orthopedic trauma was

The prevalence of obesity in patients with haemophilia (PWH) is increasing. We investigated the effect of obesity on bleeding frequency and clotting factor concentrate (CFC) usage in PWH and assessed whether prothrombotic changes observed in obesity differ between controls and PWH. Number of bleeds
