Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia (PIL) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by diffuse or localized dilation and eventual rupture of the enteric lymphatic vessels in mucosa, submucosa, and/or subserosa. Lymph, rich in all kinds of proteins and lymphocytes, leaks into the
Acute pulmonary edema appeared 3 or more days after the onset of acute pancreatitis in 7 patients, an approximate incidence of 8%. The severity of pancreatitis in these patients was characterized by massive requirements for intravenous colloid and by marked hypocalcemia. In addition, at least 5 of
OBJECTIVE
We sought to evaluate the effects of muraglitazar, a dual (alpha/gamma) peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activator within the new glitazar class, on hyperglycemia and lipid abnormalities.
METHODS
A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was performed in 1,159 patients
OBJECTIVE
To present our experience of using OK-432 in treating fetal cystic hygroma and chylothorax complicated with nonimmune hydrops fetalis.
METHODS
OK-432 (Picibanil) was injected into the fetal pleural cavity or fetal cystic hygroma.
RESULTS
Patient 1: A 23-year-old, gravida 2, para 1, was
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the pulmonary response to inflammatory stimulation, resulting in increased vascular resistance and permeability, could be attenuated by short-term infusion of triglycerides containing omega-3 fatty acids. With the concept of altering the
BACKGROUND
Diabetic retinopathy is the commonest micro vascular complication in patients with diabetes and remains a leading cause of blindness in people of working age group.
OBJECTIVE
to determine the prevalence of clinically significant macular edema (CSME) and the influence of systemic risk
OBJECTIVE
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a major cause of visual impairment in patients with diabetes and is influenced by various systemic factors. This study evaluates the effect of renal status on DME using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as a study marker.
METHODS
This was a
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression after phacoemulsification in patients with type II diabetes.
METHODS
Service of Ophthalmology, University of Sant Joan, Barcelona, Spain.
METHODS
This prospective study evaluated 132 patients with diabetes mellitus who had
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the correlation of lipid profile and clinical presentation of macular edema in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients.
METHODS
The study included 20 patients with chronic diabetic macular edema and plaque-like hard exudates (Group 1), 20 patients with diabetic macular edema
OBJECTIVE
To determine the risk factors of clinically significant macular edema (CSME) in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) in a multi-ethnics Malaysian population.
METHODS
We performed a case control study in which 150 patients with bilateral NPDR and CSME in either eye
BACKGROUND
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia is a disorder characterized by exudative enteropathy resulting from morphologic abnormalities of the intestinal lymphatics. Intestinal lymphangiectasia can be primary or secondary, so the diagnosis of primary intestinal lymphangiectasia must first
In January 2009, a 62-year-old man presented with diarrhea, leg edema, and thrombopenia and was admitted to our hospital. The past medical history revealed Sjögren's syndrome and autoimmune hepatitis for which he had been administered prednisolone. On admission, a laboratory examination revealed
The influence of serum lipid fractions [triglyceride, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol] on the visual outcome after central laser photocoagulation of 39 patients (65 eyes) with clinically significant macular edema was investigated in
MBX-102/JNJ-39659100 (MBX-102) is a selective, partial PPAR-γ agonist that lowers glucose in the absence of some of the side effects, such as weight gain and edema, that are observed with the TZDs. Interestingly MBX-102 also displays pronounced triglyceride lowering in preclinical rodent models and
The purpose of this study is to study the benefit of addition of oral fenofibrate to the current regimen of diabetic macular edema (DME) management and quantify its effect on macular thickness and visual function in DME.
Fifty-three eyes of 50 patients were randomized into treatment (Group A) (oral
