Primary angiitis of the central nervous system is a rare condition, usually with an insidious onset. There is a wide variety of histological types (granulomatous, lymphocytic or necrotizing vasculitis) and types of vessel involved (arteries, veins or both). Most cases are idiopathic. We describe a
Self-adhesive patches which release glyceryl trinitrate at a slow continuous rate or placebo patches were applied to the skin of patients distal to intravenous infusion sites in a double-blind manner. The frequency of infusion failure was three times lower with the glyceryl trinitrate than with
This study evaluated the effectiveness of filtering amphotericin B (ampho B) on the incidence and severity of drug-related complications. Fifteen males receiving ampho B via peripheral vein infusion participated in this randomized, double-blind study. Each patient had his dose of ampho B diluted in
A 23-year-old woman with history of headaches and auditory changes presented with acute-onset visual field loss in the right eye. The combination of multiple retinal branch artery occlusions of the right eye on funduscopic examination, characteristic white matter lesions in the corpus callosum on
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently described systemic entity of unknown origin. It predominantly affects older men and has distinctive histopathologic features as storiform fibrosis, obliterative phlebitis, dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with immunostaining for IgG4, and it may be
Background: Local or spinal anesthesia methods can be used during radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the great saphenous vein. There is a gap in the literature regarding comparing and contrasting the side effects of the mentioned two
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome is one of the world's serious health problems. Immune-based therapy is a new approach in the treatment of HIV infected patients. IMOD™ with the ability to correct immune deficiencies has been introduced for the management of HIV infection. In the phase IV trial
BACKGROUND Systemic vasculitides constitute heterogenous conditions affecting many organs and systems through blood vessel inflammation. Although there are some classifications for vasculitis, several vasculitides are "unclassified" because they cannot be clearly assigned to one of the
Venous thrombophilia is the result of clotting changes namely of a hypercoagulable state together with blood flow and vessel wall changes. There is no need for all these components to be present in order for thrombosis to occur. As the matter of fact, thrombosis may occur even if only one of these
Venous lesions in Behçet's disease (BD) were defined by Adamantiades and represent one of the most suggestive signs of the disease. They are occasionally the first sign of the disease and are frequently the basis for the diagnosis in a case of recurrent thrombosis in a young subject, the
The frequency of cerebrovascular accidents in women taking oral contraceptives (OC) is at the second place after phlebitis of the legs. Arterial infarcts and transient ischaemic attacks are recorded. Their mechanisms are poorly understood. Embolism is likely. In some cases arterial dissecting
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, especially those with antiphospholipid antibodies, have a high incidence of arterial and venous thrombotic manifestations. However, renovascular hypertension (RVH) has been rarely reported in these patients. We describe here a 49-year-old female with
This multicentre, randomised, double-blind study compared oral zolmitriptan 2.5 mg with a combination of oral acetylsalicylic acid 900 mg and metoclopramide 10 mg as acute anti-migraine therapy for 3 migraine attacks. In total, 666 patients took at least one dose of study medication (326 took
BACKGROUND
Conventional risk factors for retinal vein occlusion (RVO) are well established through large epidemiological studies, but triggering factors remain poorly known.
METHODS
A prospective observational study through a questionnaire was completed between January and October 2009 by patients
Clinical and laboratory test data of 77 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were evaluated by factor analysis. Six factors representing disease patterns were extracted: cutaneous symptoms of alopecia, malar rash, rash and photosensitivity; renal involvement; the anticoagulant syndrome
