purpura/hypoxia

The natural hypoxic hypoxia enhances the synthesis processes and decrease the concentration balance in cytokine rets in patients with depression of hematopoiesis. It is established that the patients with aplastic anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, in contrast with patients with acute

A 29-year-old Korean man reported to have been robbed, bound, and gagged by a stranger in his apartment. Clinical findings included extensive petechiae to his face and tramline patterned abrasions and ligature furrows to his neck and face as well as his wrists. Initially, no other leads in the

Purpura Henoch-Schönlein (PHS) was described in 55-year old man. The damages of skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and lung were found. The spreading of the PHS into the lungs with the development of transitory respiratory failure was found out on X-ray finding (bilateral pleural

Intrathoracic petechiae are characteristic of the postmortem changes found in sudden infant death syndrome. The presence and distribution of these petechiae have been claimed as evidence for airway obstruction as the mechanism of death. In a group of young, mature rats that were free of infection,

Etiologies for diffuse alveolar hemorrhage are wide and range from infectious to vasculitis and malignant processes. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is an autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent thrombocytopenia, with a relatively indolent course in young patients, but a more complicated

Conjunctival and facial petechiae, although nonspecific findings, are considered hallmarks of asphyxial deaths. Consensus in the literature suggests that their pathogenesis is related to the combined effects of increased cephalic venous pressure and hypoxic damage to endothelial cells. Despite the

Petechiae can be important corroborative evidence of asphyxia, but are also seen in persons who have died of other means. It is not uncommon to encounter them in cases in which cardiopulmonary resuscitation has reestablished blood flow and pressure in small vessels already damaged by hypoxia

Conditions of hypoxic hypoxia at 3200 m height exert significant positive changes in hemopoiesis, normalizing erythropoiesis and coagulation system. Hypoxic climate therapy can be regarded as an additional efficient method to the pathogenetic treatment for patient with unpainful aplastic anemia and

BACKGROUND Although the classical triad of thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and neurological changes has been well recognized, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) sometimes presents with atypical clinical features. Some cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)

BACKGROUND With the increased frequency of diagnosis and improved survival of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura-hemolytic-uremic syndrome (TTP-HUS), the morbidity of plasma exchange (PE) treatment has become more important. METHODS Data were prospectively collected on 71 consecutive patients

Autonomic nervous system abnormalities have been implicated in infants dying of or considered at high risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In a rat model, norepinephrine (0.02 mg/kg) caused systemic hypertension and numerous pulmonary petechiae, the latter a common finding in SIDS. Petechiae

This report describes a case of severe alkalemia associated with a blood lactate level greater than 13 mEq/L in a patient without evidence of hypotension or hypoxemia. The patient, who had the clinical manifestations of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), developed the alkalemia from an acute

Conjunctival petechiae were mentioned in 227 (4.5%) of 5,000 consecutive autopsy reports of the Dade County Medical Examiner Department. They were most frequently observed in those who had died natural deaths (particularly due to cardiovascular disease), followed by those who had died from asphyxia,

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

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a rare disease characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neurologic abnormalities, fever and renal dysfunction. in six of seven consecutive patients with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura seen in an eight month period, respiratory
