Fatalities due to an extreme ambient temperature might present with poor or nonspecific pathologies; thus, the diagnosis of the cause of death in such cases is one of the most difficult tasks in forensic pathology. The present study investigated the molecular pathology of alveolar damage involving
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) is a rare clinical condition of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) in the early stage. Generally, CPE can be convalesced by steroid and anticongestive treatment. Herein, we describe a case of a 14-year-old boy with ARF presenting with bilateral pulmonary edema secondary to
Cardiogenic unilateral pulmonary edema (UPE) is a rare clinical condition and not readily recognized early and managed accordingly. Acute rheumatic fever, which is a common disease in developing countries, does not commonly present with UPE. We report a 13-year-old girl presenting with UPE following
The differential diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) in children, especially those younger than five years, may be difficult, even with strict application of the updated Jones criteria. They are likely to present with atypical symptoms that can mimic various conditions. Herein we report a
Although the diagnostic criteria for acute rheumatic fever (ARF) are well known, a high index of suspicion is necessary in order to assure timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. We present a case of an 8-year-old child who presented with unilateral pulmonary edema secondary to acute mitral
Two patients, affected by spotted fever, developed low pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) pulmonary edema with severe hypoxemia. Conventional specific and supportive therapy, including mechanical ventilation, failed to induce significant respiratory and hemodynamic improvement which was
Eight patients suffering from hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) running a severe course complicated by pulmonary edema developed absolute hyperhistaminemia and hyperserotoninemia, histamine and serotonin accumulation in tissues. These amines inactivation in blood and lungs and excretion
BACKGROUND
Certain fluorocarbon polymers can produce a clinical syndrome called polymer fume fever when the products of pyrolysis are inhaled.
CONCLUSIONS
A previously healthy 21-year-old white man presented with severe chest tightness, difficulty in breathing, pyrexia, nausea, vomiting, and a dry
The pathogenesis of acute bovine pulmonary oedema and emphysema (ABPE) is related to the ruminal formation of 3-methylindole (3MI) from L-tryptophan (TRP), a naturally occurring amino acid and constituent of forage. The objectives of the present study were to determine whether monensin and
The effects of temperature (37-45 degrees C) on pulmonary edema formation and transendothelial albumin clearance were investigated using isolated perfused guinea pig lungs and bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells grown to confluency on a gelatinized membrane. Perfusion of isolated lungs with
