triolein/hemorrhage

OBJECTIVE Hemorrhage is a finding of clinical fat embolism syndrome. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the occurrence of hemorrhage in the cat brain by SW MR imaging after infusion of triolein as a bolus or as an emulsion into the carotid artery. METHODS Twenty-two cats were divided

For more than 125 years, it has been known that the RES, macrophages and the innate immune system play fundamental roles in host defense against pathogenic infections, trauma, hemorrhage, and combined injuries. Some years ago, we and others reported that the RES-macrophage system was intimately

Hydroxyethylstarch (HES) is being used increasingly in clinical hemorrhagic shock. Since patients in shock are at high risk of subsequent infection, concern has been voiced about possible adverse effects of HES on the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and host defenses against sepsis. We examined

BACKGROUND Fat embolization (FE) is an often overlooked and poorly understood complication of skeletal trauma and some orthopedic procedures. Fat embolism can lead to major pulmonary damage associated with fat embolism syndrome (FES). METHODS A model of FE in unanesthetized rats, using intravenous

BACKGROUND The multiple prominent hypointense veins on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) have been found in the ischemic territory of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Venous side is the unknown area in the hemodynamics of brain infarction. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the venous aspect in acute
