pericardial effusion/알부민

BACKGROUND Pericardial effusion in uremic patients (UPE) was first described by R. Bright in 1836. It is generally agreed that patients require emergency pericardial drainage when tamponade signs are present, but in patients with no tamponade the optimal timing for drainage remains

BACKGROUND Although pericardial effusion is known to be common among patients infected with HIV, the incidence of pericardial effusion and its relation to survival have never been described. RESULTS To evaluate the incidence of pericardial effusion and its relation to mortality in HIV-positive

OBJECTIVE Associations between pleural and pericardial effusions have been described in malignancy and autoimmune disorders. Bacterial pneumonia is the most frequent cause of parapneumonic effusion; however, knowledge of the relationship between parapneumonic effusion and the presence of pericardial

OBJECTIVE To investigate both the use of immediate or elective double-balloon pericardiotomy (DBP) in patients with a large amount of malignancy-related pericardial effusion, and the prognosis of this subgroup. METHODS Observational study after DBP intervention. METHODS Tertiary referral

OBJECTIVE To establish the optimal inflammation control of Kawasaki disease (KD), we investigated the clinical and pathophysiological basis of pericardial effusion (PE) during the acute phase of KD. METHODS Clinical and laboratory features of Japanese KD children with PE (PE group: n = 9) and

BACKGROUND The optimal weekly oral dose of sirolimus and intravenous nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) were evaluated. METHODS A phase 1b study was performed to evaluate escalating doses of oral sirolimus (5-60 mg) on days 2, 9, and 16 with intravenous nab-paclitaxel (100

A 26-year-old male patient with a history of chronic peripheral lymphedema, yellowish coloured slow growing nails and pleural effusions since early childhood is described. After 23 years he developed a chylous ascites and scintigraphy with technetium-99m labeled albumin clearly demonstrated a

Although pulmonary artery banding (PAB) is a common palliative procedure for pediatric heart malformation, there are concerns of pressure overload and concomitant immune reactions in the right ventricle causing postsurgical complications such as pericardial effusion. At this time, no clear

BACKGROUND Pericardial effusions and acute renal failure are common findings in clinical practice. However, acute renal failure resulting from pericardial effusions (without tamponade) is a rare finding. We report the first such case to occur in a transplanted kidney. METHODS A 20-year-old Sri

A marked difference between the cardiac silhouette on the six-foot chest roentgenogram and the cardiac blood pool, determined by radioisotope scanning, has been shown to be consistent with pericardial effusion and/or thickening. It has also been observed that the cardiac blood pool is separated from

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical correlates of pericardial effusion (PE) and a low-voltage electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with primary hypothyroidism. METHODS ECG, echocardiography and blood tests, including thyroid function tests, were performed in 64 consecutive patients with primary

Three cases of suspected pericardial effusion were evaluated with rapid, noninvasive procedure, combined use of macroaggregated albumin technetium 99m and human serum albumin technetium 99m to produce a single radiography showing the heart, liver, and lung perfusion simultaneously. This technic

To determine the frequency and clinical correlates of asymptomatic pericardial effusion (PE) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), echocardiography and electrocardiography were performed in 50 consecutive patients with SLE. Among 50 patients with SLE, 12 patients (24%) had PE and 17
