BACKGROUND
Peripheral angioedema of the face and upper airways is a well-known phenomenon of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors occurring in only 0.1% to 0.7% of patients. We describe a case of the even less-common manifestation of visceral angioedema, which causes symptoms of chronic and
Malnutrition leads to increased morbidity and is evident in almost half of all deaths in children under the age of 5 years. Mortality due to rotavirus diarrhea is common in developing countries where malnutrition is prevalent; however, the relationship between malnutrition and rotavirus infection
BACKGROUND
Zygophyllum album L. (Zygophyllaceae), commonly known as Bougriba, is widely used to treat diabetes, digestive tract spasm, and hypertension in folk medicine, in Tunisia.
OBJECTIVE
This study investigates the antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, and antihypertensive activities of the leaves of
Wide use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in clinical settings is to a certain extent associated with a small number of side effects developing after taking the above medicines. The most prominent ill effects of ACE inhibitors include hypotension, acute renal impairement in those
BACKGROUND
Angioedema is an infrequent complication of the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) that has an incidence of up to 0.5%. The oropharynx is most commonly affected. Angioedema of the small bowel is a much rarer occurrence; it uniformly presents with abdominal pain of
Angioneurotic oedema is one of rare side effects of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, its incidence is around 0.1-0.2%. Angio-oedema most commonly develops in the first 4 weeks of the treatment, but it can be observed later, after several months or even years. The association between the
Twenty patients with bladder cancer were treated with intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy using CDDP and ADM in combination with [Sar1, Ile8] angiotensin II. A catheter was introduced into internal iliac artery by Seldinger's technique, and 100 mg of CDDP, 50 mg of ADM and 1 mg of [Sar1, Ile8]
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of possible lisinopril-induced angioedema of the small bowel.
METHODS
A 67-year-old female was admitted to the hospital with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen/pelvis was obtained which showed wall thickening
We describe a case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with two episodes of abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. Abdominal computed tomographic scans done during each episode demonstrated edema of the small bowel. Review of the patient's history revealed that she had been started on a treatment
Perindopril 4 mg once daily was given to 40 hypertensives for 4 weeks. The results showed that systolic and diastolic blood presure were decreased by 3.2 kPa (22.2 +/- 2.21-19.0 +/- 1.92 kPa) and 1.87 kPa (13.4 +/- 1.21-11.5 +/- 1.27 kPa), respectively. The total effective rate was 80%. Serum
Thirty-three patients with primary bladder cancer (nine stage T1 with multifocal tumors and 24 stage T2-4) were treated with intraarterial infusion chemotherapy including cisplatin, doxorubicin, and [Sar1,Ile8]Angiotensin II(AT II). Of the 32 evaluable patients, 12 had pathologically proven complete
Intestinal angioedema is a rare side effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. We present a 41-year-old woman with sporadic right lower quadrant abdominal pain and diarrhea with multiple computed tomography scans demonstrating enteritis. Suspicion turned to angiotensin-converting enzyme
Isolated visceral angioedema is an extremely rare complication of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs). We report the first known case of ACEI-associated visceral angioedema occurring in a liver transplant recipient who presented with acute-onset abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting,
Angiotensin II (ANG II) has been described in the regulation of intestinal secretion and absorption via angiotensin subtype 1 (AT(1)) and AT(2) receptors, respectively, in rats. We investigated the role that ANG II plays in the rabbit ileal-loop model of Clostridium difficile infection. Expression
