metaplasia/edema

The non-hemodynamic pulmonary oedema by increase alveolo-capillary permeability or Adult Respiratory distress Syndrome (ARDS), has many causes and determine an acute insufficiency respiratory who needed mechanic ventilation. It can above all progressing to interstitial fibrosis after deadly. The

OBJECTIVE To report the clinical and histologic findings of a new subset of idiopathic corneal edema: zipper cell endotheliopathy. METHODS Observational case report. METHODS A 55-year-old woman with unilateral bullous keratopathy. METHODS Clinical observation consisted of slit-lamp examination and

We report an 80-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with symptoms due to diabetes insipidus. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated a sellar/suprasellar cystic lesion with marginal enhancement and the thick pituitary stalk. The MR imaging depicted edema spreading along the optic

The corneas of three patients with keratoconus were examined by light and electron microscopy within approximately four months after onset of severe hydrops. The rupture and detachment of Descemet's membrane resulted in formation of extensive ledges. New endothelium completely resurfaced the exposed

Thoracoamniotic shunting is the treatment of choice for management of the fetus with type 1 congenital pulmonary airway malformation. Thoracoamniotic shunting has been performed to reduce life-threatening risks such as fetal hydrops. However, caution is needed because of possible complications.

In a phase 2 study, 23 patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia were treated with imatinib mesylate at a constant dose of 400 mg/d. Treatment was held in 16 patients (70%), after 1 to 12 weeks, because of side effects (neutropenia, 6 patients; musculoskeletal pain, 5 patients;

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is characterized by inflammation and subsequent degeneration of cartilage. We report a 61-year-old woman who had RP with audio-vestibular manifestations. She was also diagnosed as having a myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM). Bilateral endolymphatic hydrops (EH)

BACKGROUND Thalidomide is a putative antiangiogenesis agent with activity in several hematologic malignancies. METHODS Forty-four patients who had myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia received treatment with thalidomide in a Phase II clinical trial at a dose of 200 mg daily with escalation by 200

OBJECTIVE In non-randomized studies, thalidomide appeared to be effective in myeloid metaplasia with myelofibrosis (MMM). We compared thalidomide to placebo for treatment of anemia in MMM. METHODS A prospective phase II B, randomized double-blind multicenter trial comparing thalidomide 400 mg/d with

Bleeding, thrombocytopenia, and osteopenia are recognized as the side effects of heparin administration. We recently noted occurrence of pulmonary edema in a patient with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia being treated with heparin for pulmonary embolism. The hypertensive episodes preceding left

BACKGROUND Estrogen-mediated uterus endometrium instability is considered as one of the etiological factors in dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) and uterine cancer. Saraca asoca (Family: Fabaceae) and its fermented preparation, Asokarishta, are extensively used as uterine tonic to treat

Peritoneal dialysis is commonly used to treat patients with end-stage renal disease. Patients on long-term peritoneal dialysis develop edema and fibrosis of the peritoneal membrane, but the morphologic effects on the organs of the female genital tract are obscure. We noted squamous metaplasia of the

To evaluate proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and R2* as markers of bone marrow composition and structure in inflamed bone in patients with spondyloarthritis. Phantoms containing fat, water, and trabecular bone were constructed with proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and bone mineral density (BMD)

An animal model for pneumococcal otitis media was studied histologically at varying intervals postinoculation. Histologic changes generally associated with acute inflammation (edema, diffuse infiltration with polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and hemorrhage) occurred early in the disease while the ears

BACKGROUND Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) often remain symptomatic after technically proficient functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Current hypothesis indicates biofilms may contribute to the persistence of infection. However, few studies showed biofilms in postoperative patients. This
