pulmonary edema/triglyceride

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

We examined the mechanism of the bone marrow-induced pulmonary edema in the isolated Ringer-perfused rabbit lung. Bone marrow administration (0.2 ml/kg body wt) increased pulmonary arterial pressure, capillary pressure, arterial resistance, and venous resistance within 2-4 min. Bone marrow also

The present study shows that intravenous infusion of 3-methylindole (3MI) induced acute pulmonary edema in goats. Edematous changes were seen in the alveoli and the interalveolar interstitium. At 72 hours after treatment, an accumulation of glycogen that had a pathognomonic appearance of alpha

Aflatoxin (AF)-contaminated and fumonisin B1 (FB1)-contaminated (culture material from Fusarium moniliforme) diets were fed singly and in combination to growing cross-bred barrows. Six barrows (3 replicates of 2 each; mean body weight, 17.5 kg) per group were fed: 0 mg of AF and 0 mg of FB1/kg of

OBJECTIVE To identify conditions that may improve the successful rate of STZ-induced rat models of diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS 100 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (n = 10) and experimental group (n = 90). Rats in the experimental group were treated with intraperitoneal

Chronic hypoxia, viral infections/bacterial toxins, inflammation states, biochemical disorders, and genetic abnormalities are the most likely trigger of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Autopsy studies have shown increased pulmonary density of macrophages and markedly more eosinophils in the

Fumonisins (FB) are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides, frequently associated with corn. It produces toxicity, including teratogenicity, equine leukoencephalomalacia, porcine pulmonary edema, hepatic or renal damage in most animal species and perturb sphingolipid metabolism. The aim of

The majority of hemodialysis patients die from cardiovascular disease. However, the contribution of myocardial infarction to mortality is relatively minor, despite the fact that coronary artery disease is common in uremic patients. Hypertension seems to be the major risk factor for the development

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the nutritional status of patients on haemodialysis for chronic renal failure. METHODS Single center cross-sectional hospital based study. METHODS This study was carried out at haemodialysis unit of Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore from March to May 2000. METHODS Fifty-one
