siderosis/edema

The purpose of the study is to report an unusual case of encapsulated iron intraocular foreign body (IOFB) of long duration presenting with cystoid macular edema (CME) and normal full-field electroretinogram (ERG). A 28-year-old male presented with a history of metal injury 5 years back and

To learn whether fetal congestive heart failure causes a characteristic tissue iron storage pattern, we selected 15 neonatal autopsy cases of hydrops fetalis in which both the clinical and gross autopsy findings suggested intrauterine congestive heart failure. The latter appeared to be due to

A penetrating intraocular stone caused a retinal detachment that was repaired successfully. The patient returned 18 months later with siderosis bulbi. The patient was followed by serial neurosensory tests for the next three years. The electro-oculogram (EOG) showed the greatest abnormality, while

Experimental hypersiderosis was induced in rabbits by intravenous injection of iron-containing preparation Ferrum Leck. The resultant pronounced hemosiderosis was found in the liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and spleen. Dystrophic and necrotic processes arose in the liver, kidneys, heart. Accumulation

We report a postmature male infant who died at age 2 h of asphyxiating pulmonary hemorrhage. Autopsy found edema, serous ascites, and vascular malformations within myocardium, lung, mediastinal soft tissue, thoracic-wall skeletal muscle, spleen, thyroid and adrenal glands, and pancreas. The

Although the endocrine pancreas appears to play an important role in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease, very little is known about the morphologic changes in this tissue. Our study was initiated to delineate the microscopic features of the endocrine pancreas in a large autopsy series of

BACKGROUND Ocular siderosis is a rare but severe complication of open globe trauma with intraocular retention of a metallic foreign body. METHODS We report a case of recurrent uveitis in a 37-year-old patient. The ophthalmic examination revealed poor vision in the left eye, lid edema, limbal

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has become the gold standard for evaluating myocardial function, volumes, and scarring. Additionally, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is unique in its comprehensive tissue characterization, including assessment of myocardial edema, myocardial

OBJECTIVE We report a case of successful pregnancy outcome following maternal intravenous immunoglobulin treatment in a woman with previous history of recurrent fetal hydrops secondary to perinatal haemochromatosis. METHODS A 32-year old woman had two successive pregnancies complicated by fetal

BACKGROUND Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-ri) represents the most readily responsive form of CAA, if diagnosed and treated early. Although CAA-ri typically presents with a monophasic pattern, recurrences have been occasionally reported. OBJECTIVE To describe the evolution of

Conventional assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) using the electrocardiogram (ECG), for example, by the Sokolow-Lyon, Romhilt-Estes or Cornell criteria, have relied on assessing changes in the amplitude and/or duration of the QRS complex of the ECG to quantify LV mass. ECG measures of

Pathological tissue alterations due to disease processes such as fibrosis, edema and infiltrative disease can be non-invasively visualized and quantified by MRI using T1 and T2 relaxation properties. Pixel-wise mapping of T1 and T2 image sequences enable direct quantification of T1, T2(*), and

Amyloid imaging related abnormalities (ARIA) have now been reported in clinical trials with multiple therapeutic avenues to lower amyloid-β burden in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In response to concerns raised by the Food and Drug Administration, the Alzheimer's Association Research Roundtable convened

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) type is common in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ immunotherapies have been reported to induce CAA-related intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) or vasogenic edema. For the purpose of developing a method to predict CAA-related ICH and other
