OBJECTIVE
To assess the relationship of WBC counts and partial oxygen tension in the portal vein and caudal vena cava with portal bacteremia, bacteria in the liver, and postoperative morbidity and mortality in dogs with portosystemic shunts.
METHODS
Prospective study.
METHODS
12 clinically normal
BACKGROUND
Arterial gasometry is considered the gold standard for establishing a diagnosis of respiratory failure of any etiology. However, there are some circumstances in which it loses specificity, making necessary to consider other tests such as pulse oximetry to adequately determine hypoxemia.
A 52-year-old female was admitted to our hospital in August 1988, for evaluation of purpura and gingival bleeding. Hematologic examination showed mild leukocytosis (12,400/microliter) and severe thrombocytopenia (1,000/microliter). On bone marrow examination, megakaryocyte count was normal and the
Physiological derangements such as hypoxemia and hyperkalemia are medical emergencies that warrant prompt interventions to prevent further patient clinical deterioration. However, in patients with myeloproliferative diseases or malignancies that result in extreme leukocytosis, hypoxemia and
Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) exhibit a chronic inflammatory state manifested by leukocytosis and increased circulating levels of proinflammatory cytochemokines. Our studies show that placenta growth factor levels are high in SCD, and placental growth factor induces the release of the
To highlight the importance of the new classification criteria for the macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis in order to reduce morbidity and mortality outcome related to this disease.A 12-year-old female patient
OBJECTIVE
To study levels of hepsidine (Hp), hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha), erythropoietin (EP) and ferritin in patients with acute leukemia (AL), effects of protein fractions of homogenate of blastic cells (BC) on regulatory proteins studied.
METHODS
Depending on leukocyte count in
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or crib or cot death are synonyms for the sudden, unexpected and unexplained death of an infant. The incidence of SIDS has been estimated to be from 1-2% to 3%. Protracted intrauterine hypoxia or recurrent hypoxic insults during fetal life undoubtedly influence
Complement activation during exposure of plasma to cuprophan has been postulated to cause leukopenia and hypoxia in hemodialysis patients. To determine if hypoxia is related to leukopenia and if complement activation leads to a depletion of functional complement components, we dialyzed four patients
Leukemic patients with severe leukocytosis experience a spurious lowering of the arterial oxygen tension if the arterial blood samples are not immediately analyzed. Arterial oxygen tensions were measured in three patients with acute leukemia; actual oxygen saturation was simultaneously measured with
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether severity of leukocytosis correlates with severity of postmortem lesions in dogs with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA).
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
34 dogs with IMHA that had CBC performed within 48 hours prior to death and complete necropsy
Multiple blood specimens with different leukocyte counts from two patients with extreme leukocytosis secondary to leukemia and unexplained hypoxemia were tonometered with a gas of known oxygen concentration and the decay of oxygen tension (PO2) was measured over time. The decay in PO2 in the first 2
Carbon monoxide (CO) has anti-inflammatory properties. We previously reported that acute treatments with inhaled CO inhibit vascular inflammation and hypoxia-induced vasoocclusion in sickle cell disease mouse models. Therefore, we hypothesized that chronic CO inhalation would decrease vascular
