This paper describes different tools to rule out the etiology of vocal fold edema. A complete voice assessment is used in our Voice Center. This includes patient history, acoustic analysis, laryngeal video-stroboscopy, otolaryngology consultation, allergy testing from our Allergy Clinic, and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate allergic endolymphatic hydrops (EH) and the effect of leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA).
METHODS
Experiment 1: Thirty-six guinea pigs were actively sensitized with DNP-ascaris twice and were provoked with DNP-bovine serum albumin 1 week after the second sensitization.
Schinus is a genus of the Anacardiaceae family and contains Schinus terebinthifolius, the Brazilian pepper tree that is widely used in folk medicine. We investigate the anti-allergic activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of S. terebinthifolius Raddi (ST fraction). HPLC analysis reveled that gallic
BACKGROUND
Approximately 150 species of Lepidoptera have been described as causing damage to human skin. One of these species is the pine processionary caterpillar, which is responsible for dermatitis, contact urticaria, ocular lesions and rarely respiratory signs and anaphylactic reactions through
In vitro studies have suggested that leukotrienes are involved in acute allergic bronchoconstriction, though this has not been definitively corroborated yet in in vivo studies. On the other hand, edema production during antigenic challenge could be an additional factor favouring such
The case of a 30-year-old woman who had already experienced two incidents of angioneurotic edema and urticaria caused by drugs during the acute gastroenteritis. The allergological workup revealed hypersensitivity to metoclopramide. This case documents that metoclopramide, a drug commonly used to
A 29-year-old woman was diagnosed as having type 1 diabetes mellitus and received insulin aspart and NPH insulin (NovolinN). On day 22, she had leg edema and right abdominal pain. The serum hepatobiliary enzyme levels were markedly elevated. Computed tomography revealed gallbladder edema. After an
By way of example of a patient and his family and by means of the literature, the present knowledge of pathogenesis and therapy of hereditary non-allergic angioneurotic edema has been reviewed.
Placental growth factor (PlGF) and its receptor vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1) play an important role in pathological conditions related to angiogenesis, vascular leakage, and inflammation. This study investigated their contributions to inflammation and the formation of edema
A 64-year-old man with recurrent multiple myeloma (BJP-κ type) was treated with 15 mg of lenalidomide (LEN) and dexamethasone. He developed Quincke's edema on his eyelid on day 4. Since the edema improved after withdrawal of LEN, the drug was subsequently re-administered at a decreased dose.
OBJECTIVE
To identify the role of allergy in the occurrence of Reinke's edema on vocal folds.
METHODS
This was a prospective study in patients with Reinke's edema on vocal folds (n = 80) and a control group of patients without Reinke's edema (n = 80). All the patients were examined by the same ENT
The authors report the first case of vasogenic cerebral edema due to a cell-mediated hypersensitivity reaction to a nickel-containing aneurysm clip. The patient initially presented for elective clipping of a right middle cerebral artery aneurysm, and on long-term follow-up she demonstrated
OBJECTIVE
To assess the risk of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) following cataract surgery in patients with allergies and/or atopic disorders.
METHODS
Medical records of 3,850 consecutive eyes that underwent cataract surgery were retrospectively reviewed for prevalence of allergies and
BACKGROUND
Extrinsic allergic alveolitis may have a chronic, subacute or acute course. Its fulminant form with interstitial edema is unusual.
METHODS
An 11-year-old girl was referred to our intensive care unit because she suffered from high fever. Chest X-rays showed bilateral alveolitis. History
Edema is defined as the condition in which intraluminal lymph fluid components leak into the tissues and the interstitium fluid is abnormally increased. At the site of edema, toxication, allergy or inflammation occasionally occurs. This paper will focus on local skin and mucosal edema. Toxic edema
