The purpose of this project was to characterize the reversal of blood flow in the proximal inferior vena cava (IVC) seen in fetal sheep with pacing-induced atrial tachycardia and hydrops. We successfully operated on seven pregnant ewes at 118-130 d gestation to attach ECG and pacing wires, insert
BACKGROUND
Changes of plasma albumin and fibrinogen after various insults have been described as acute phase responses. This study investigated the acute changes of hepatic synthesis of albumin and fibrinogen after hemorrhage and resuscitation with lactated Ringer's (LR) solution or normal saline
Hypoalbuminemia is common in heart failure (HF), especially in elderly patients. It is associated with an increased risk of death. The present study sought to examine the prognostic significance of serum albumin level in the prediction of long-term mortality in patients admitted for Continuous supraventricular tachycardia was induced in 13 fetal sheep for 72 to 216 hours. The PaO2 decreased from 18.1 +/- 1.2 (SEM) to 15.4 +/- 0.9 mm Hg and the PaCO2 increased from 41.5 +/- 1.2 (SEM) to 46.0 +/- 1.0 (SEM) mm Hg with pacing. The hematocrit, total protein, albumin, serum [Na+] and
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an effective treatment in Myasthenia gravis (MG) and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and 5% human albumin is the replacement fluid of choice; however, it is expensive. More recently, it has been suggested that starch is a safe and cheaper choice to human
We studied the therapeutic effects of continuously infused N-acetylcysteine, an O2 radical scavenger (N, n = 6), and terbutaline, a beta 2-agonist (T, n = 6), versus dextrose (controls C, N = 6) on hemodynamics and regional albumin extravasation in porcine septic shock. After instrumentation,
Liver injury/dysfunction developing in patients with sepsis may lead to an increased risk of death. Small-volume resuscitation with hyperoncotic albumin (HA) has been proposed to restore physiologic hemodynamics in hemorrhagic and septic shock. We evaluated whether HA resuscitation could alleviate
The effect of intravenous injection of insulin on heart rate, plasma noradrenaline and urinary excretion rates of albumin and beta-2-microglobulin was examined in 10 long-term diabetics, 5 of whom had albuminuria. --In patients without albuminuria intravenous injection of insulin resulted in changes
BACKGROUND
We previously proposed a new treatment for tachyarrhythmia using an extracellular photosensitization reaction occurring in the interstitial space of myocardia shortly after the injection of talaporfin sodium. Using myocardial cells, we studied the photocytotoxicity of this extracellular
Fat embolism is a life-threatening condition that mostly occurs after long bones and pelvis fractures and treatment is controversial with many available drugs. We hereby present a case of 53 years male who developed shortness of breath, tachycardia, fever, anemia, distended jugular vein,
BACKGROUND
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac rhythm disturbance in clinical practice; its risk factors are complex and far from being clarified up to now. Previous studies demonstrated that hypoalbuminaemia significantly correlates with cardiac diseases.
OBJECTIVE
We hypothesized that
17 cases of clinical incompatibility reactions due to human serum albumin were examined. The reactions consisted of tachycardia, fever, exanthema and hypotension. Regarding the onset of time, "early" and "late" reactions were distinguished. Pollution of the administered albumin batches as etiologic
BACKGROUND
Patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) experience considerable disability, but in most, the pathophysiology remains obscure. Plasma volume disturbances have been implicated in some patients. We prospectively tested the hypothesis that patients with POTS are hypovolemic
During her 26th week of pregnancy a 20-year-old woman developed generalized pruritus, urticaria, flushing, tinnitus, and tachycardia during plasmapheresis with 5% human serum albumin (HSA) as adjunctive treatment for anti-Kell isoimmunization. The reaction was controlled with intravenous
The preoperative management of hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HC) with jaundice focuses on decreasing the total serum bilirubin level (SBL) by performing preoperative biliary drainage (PBD). However, it takes about 6-8 weeks for the SBL to fall at a sufficient extent. The objective of this preliminary
