starch/edema

The marked edema observed in neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass is thought to result from pathologic increases in capillary permeability. Pentafraction is a subfraction of hydroxyethyl starch that is thought to be of appropriate size and shape to be retained by leaking capillaries and seal endothelial

The type of fluid used during resuscitation may have an important impact on tissue edema. We evaluated the impact of two different regimens of fluid resuscitation on hemodynamics and on lung and intestinal edema during splanchnic hypoperfusion in rabbits. The study included 16 female New Zealand

Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is usually considered to be associated with limited side effects. Generalized foamy cell macrophage syndrome after HES therapy has rarely been reported since Schaefer first described it as 'hydrops lysosomalis generalisatus' in 1982. We present a 19-yr-old male who received

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) preserves patients' lives during open heart surgery by providing sufficient oxygen delivery and blood supply to vital organs. However, previous studies have suggested that the interaction of hemodilution and vascular hyperpermeability induces tissue edema and an

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility to use hydroxyethylstarch as an alternative deswelling additive in short-term preservation media. METHODS Corneoscleral discs were prepared from pairs of eye balls of freshly slaughtered pigs. Corneas were stored in MEM-medium containing either 10% or 20%

OBJECTIVE Several studies have suggested that intravenous hydroxyethyl starch treatment may dampen acute inflammatory responses. It is well documented that limited oxygen delivery to tissues (hypoxia) is common in acute inflammation, and numerous parallels exist between acute responses to hypoxia

Unilateral-dependent pulmonary edema though reported in laparoscopic donor nephrectomies, has not been reported after laparoscopic non-donor nephrectomies. A 75-kg, 61-year-old man, a diagnosed case of right renal cell carcinoma was scheduled for laparoscopic nephrectomy. After establishing general

OBJECTIVE To avoid the progression from mild edematous acute pancreatitis (AP) to the severe necrotizing form, one therapeutic option is to improve pancreatic microcirculation and tissue oxygenation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of improved rheology (isovolemic hemodilution)

The endothelial glycocalyx (GLX) is pivotal to vascular barrier function. We investigated the consequences of GLX degradation on pulmonary microvascular perfusion and, prompted by evidence that hydroxyethyl starch (HES) improves microcirculation, studied the effects of two HES preparations during

OBJECTIVE Preeclampsia is a unique disease of pregnancy. Delivery via caesarean section is the most important way of terminating the pregnancy and treating preeclampsia. Perioperative fluid therapy is performed to maintain the circulatory volume and reduce tissue edema. This study evaluated the

Nowadays, gastric ulcers have become very common gastrointestinal disorders and numerous natural plant extracts exert promising anti-ulcerative effects. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the possible protective effect of dietary starch against ethanol induced gastric ulcers in mice.

BACKGROUND Traumatic hemorrhage induces acute lung injury. The aim of this study was to assess whether lactated Ringer's solution or 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 would have different effects on acute lung injury following hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Twenty healthy pigs (19 ± 2 kg) were subjected to

OBJECTIVE Machine perfusion preservation has been used experimentally to extend the storage interval of donor hearts. We previously demonstrated that machine perfusion with glucose-supplemented Celsior preservation solution led to superior reperfusion function but resulted in increased myocardial

Newly developed colloid volume-expanding agents with mean molecular weights lower than currently available agents may improve outcome after stroke with fewer allergic and coagulation system side effects. The smaller molecule, however, may exacerbate ischemic cerebral edema if it accumulates in areas
