hemosiderosis/edema

Description of roentgenographic changes in idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis and Goodpasture's syndrome. Diagnostic criteria for differentiation from alveolar edema are shown. Separation of disseminated alveolar infections without clinical information is not possible. The close relation to

A 69-year-old woman suddenly suffered massive hemoptysis and was admitted to the hospital. The test of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies was negative. Chest radiograph showed diffuse infiltrative shadows similar to those of lung edema in the both lung fields. The patient's condition

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare disorder characterised by intermittent, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). Although an inflammatory pulmonary capillaritis can be evidenced in most patients with DAH, IPH is a distinct entity in which pulmonary inflammatory alterations are lacking.

A term infant with hydrops fetalis presented with hypotonia, massive splenomegaly, renal failure, and severe hyperferritinemia. Multiple organ failure, myoclonus, and opisthotonus ensued and she died at 15 days of age. High rounded forehead, large open fontanel, and a small recessed chin led to

The pathological findings in the lungs and related organs of 26 patients (21 female, 5 male) with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with onset of disease before age 20 years, were reviewed. Several categories of lung lesions were found. Chronic interstitial pneumonitis was present in all 26

Pulmonary changes were studied in Sprague-Dawley-rats dosed intravenously with various dosages around the LD 50 in acute studies, and with 0 (control), 0.001, 0.01 and 0.1 mg/kg b. wt./day St 91-Cl or with 0, 1, 5 and 25 mg/kg b. wt./day St 600-Cl for 4 weeks in subacute studies. Doses of 0.01 mg/kg

A now 10-year-old Laotian female was delivered at 30-week gestation by cesarean section because of severe hydrops. Fetal blood sampling revealed homozygous α-thalassemia. After immediate resuscitation, the infant was supported with frequent red cell transfusions. At 44 months of age, she received a

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

Data on spontaneous pathology are substantially scarce for common marmosets, compared to other laboratory animals, but is essential for the interpretation of histological findings in the context of toxicological and experimental studies. Especially if common marmosets are used as experimental

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to define the usual and pathological modifications arising in the brain following hemispherotomy for intractable epilepsy in children. METHODS Preoperative MRI and postoperative imaging scans (CT in the first week, MRI at 3 months and 1 year after surgery) were

The virulence of three Trypanosoma evansi isolates in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao water buffaloes was compared determining the mortality rate, parasitemia level, clinical signs, and lesions on mice. A total of 51 inbred Balb/c mice (5-6 weeks old) were used and divided into two sets. Set A had three

Parvovirus B19 infection during pregnancy can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta. The consequences for the health of the fetus are very variable and can be very serious. They include intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) and miscarriage, which can lead to medico-forensic questions. For the

OBJECTIVE To assess the potential role of MR imaging in the diagnosis of fetal liver iron overload. METHODS We reviewed seven cases of abnormal liver signal in fetuses referred to MR imaging in a context of suspected congenital infection (n = 2), digestive tract anomalies (n = 3) and hydrops fetalis

Sphha/sphha anemic mice have an abnormality in the erythroid membrane protein, alpha spectrin, and exhibit multiple related clinical abnormalities, including spherocytosis, shortened red cell survival, chronic hemolysis, hemosiderosis, and extramedullary hematopoiesis. In addition, these mutant mice
