hydrothorax/edema

The subject of this study was 38 cases of non-immune hydrops fetalis and 11 cases of fetal hydrothorax and/ or ascites (FH/A), a syndrome characterized by the accumulation of pleural effusion and/or ascitic fluid, without generalized skin edema, due to various etiologies, admitted to the obstetrics

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is sometimes associated with hydrothorax and hydrops in utero. In the absence of fetal hydrops, perinatal outcome is favorable and justifies expectant management. In the presence of fetal hydrops, perinatal outcome is reported to be extremely poor and

Pulmonary edema and hydrothorax were observed in mature swine that died approximately 5 days after consuming corn screenings. These postmortem observations were reproduced in younger swine (16-24 kg) that died within 1 week when fed the corn screenings under experimental conditions. Additionally,

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of prenatal therapeutic interventions on perinatal outcome in pregnancies complicated by isolated fetal hydrothorax with hydrops. METHODS A systematic review of the literature from January 1982 to January 2006 of perinatal outcome in pregnancies with isolated fetal

Pulmonary edema and hydrothorax were observed in mature swine that died approximately 5 days after consuming corn screenings. These postmortem observations were reproduced in younger pigs that died within 1 week when fed the corn screenings under experimental conditions. Additionally, pulmonary

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to perform an audit the results of fetal therapy in cases of nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF), isolated hydrothorax and isolated ascites. METHODS A total of 38 fetuses (17-35 weeks of pregnancy) were included in the study whereas 6 patients were excluded due to

In a retrospective study, the authors examined the occurrence of hydrops in foetal and neonatal cases in a five-year period. During this time, the clinical and pathologic diagnosis of hydrops was established in 28 cases. In three cases, the hydrops was caused by Rh incompatibility, and in 25 cases

Prenatal diagnosis of generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) (OMIM #208000) is difficult and rare. There are various known gene mutations in ENPP1 (ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1) locus 6q22-q23. We present a case of suspected intrauterine diagnosis at 29 weeks of

The effects of intraruminal administration of 3-methylindole (3MI; skatole) were determined in goats. The 3MI was given to 4 goats at the dose level of 0.3 g/kg of body weight, to 2 goats at 0.2 g/kg, and to 2 goats at 0.1 g/kg; 3 nontreated goats were used as controls. Clinical signs of acute

N-Methylthiobenzamide (NMTB) is a pneumotoxin which causes pulmonary edema and hydrothorax in rodents. Reserpine has been shown to attenuate the pneumotoxicity induced by NMTB. Some of that evidence suggests that the protection afforded by reserpine occurs independently of its capacity to reduce

Enterotoxemia caused by Clostridium perfringens type D is an important disease of sheep and goats with a worldwide distribution. Cerebral microangiopathy is considered pathognomonic for ovine enterotoxemia and is seen in most cases of the disorder in sheep. However, these lesions are poorly

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of application of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with artificial hydrothorax for liver cancer in the hepatic dome. METHODS Thirty-two patients with 43 lesions of hepatic malignant tumors in the hepatic dome underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous

BACKGROUND Primary fetal hydrothorax (PFHT) is an uncommon condition with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 10,000/15,000 pregnancies. Therapeutic interventions include thoracocentesis, thoraco-amniotic shunting (TAS), and pleurodesis using OK-432. METHODS A review of the literature was performed to

Although it is established that bronchopulmonary sequestration complicated by fetal hydrops carries a high risk of perinatal mortality, prenatal management remains controversial. Therapeutic options include immediate delivery, medical therapy based on an inotropic regimen, alcohol ablation of the
