BACKGROUND
Pancreatitis induced by hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) has gained much attention. However, very limited numbers of studies have focused on the clinical significance of TG elevation in non-HTG induced pancreatitis, such as acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP). This study aimed to study the
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), a member of the triglyceride lipase gene family, is synthesised by parenchymal cells of the heart, skeletal muscle and adipose tissues before being transported to luminal surfaces of vascular endothelial cells to exert its main physiological function to hydrolyse plasma
BACKGROUND
Percutaneous central line insertion is a common procedure in the neonatal intensive care unit.
METHODS
A preterm baby, who had a percutaneous central line inserted developed an erythematous swelling over the infraclavicular area.
METHODS
A diagnosis of abscess was made, and an incision
OBJECTIVE
Many parasites induce changes in the lipid profiles of the host. Cholesterol increases the virulence of Entamoeba histolytica in animal models and in vitro culture. This study aimed to determine, in patients with an amebic liver abscess, the correlation between cholesterol and other
Part of the human host innate immune response involves the secretion of bactericidal lipids on the skin and delivery of triglycerides into abscesses to control invading pathogens. Two Staphylococcus aureus lipases, named SAL1 and SAL2, were identified in the community-associated
Acute pulmonary edema appeared 3 or more days after the onset of acute pancreatitis in 7 patients, an approximate incidence of 8%. The severity of pancreatitis in these patients was characterized by massive requirements for intravenous colloid and by marked hypocalcemia. In addition, at least 5 of
A 25-year-old male patient presented with right-sided pleuritic chest pain and pain in the ankle. Radiological investigations revealed a right sided pleural effusion, lytic lesion in spine D10 with paravertebral abscess. Pleural fluid analysis showed elevated lactate dehydrogenase, adenosine
Controversy regarding the use of ad libitum feeding in chronic rodent toxicity studies will soon result in issue of a FDA Points to Consider document. Caloric intakes are now recognized to be important uncontrolled variables in bioassays because rodents chronically fed ad libitum become obese,
In patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis parenteral nutrition (PN) is indicated when enteral nutrition is not possible or should be avoided for medical reasons. In Crohn's patients PN is indicated when there are signs/symptoms of ileus or subileus in the small intestine, scars or
32 out of 111 patients with major abdominal trauma were studied to evaluate the effects of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). There were 24 men and 8 women with average age of 31 years. 25 cases were recorded as blunt trauma. The others had penetrating wounds. An Abdominal Trauma Index (ATI) was used
Sixty-two patients with the short bowel syndrome (30-150 cm) were managed by continuous enteral nutrition (CEN) in the early adaptive phase. In all, 82 per cent were referrals from other units and 85 per cent of referrals had failure of one or more organ systems on admission. There were
Recurrent macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is very rare. We present the case of an adolescent boy with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27-positive ankylosing spondylitis (AS), who experienced episodes of recurrent MAS since he was a toddler. A 16-year-old boy was admitted because of remittent
Thirty-two patients with major abdominal trauma were studied to evaluate the effects of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). There were 24 men and 8 women with average age of 31 years. Twenty-five cases of the group were recorded to have blunt trauma. Abdominal trauma index (ATI) was used to score the
Patients with triglyceride levels over 1,000 mg/dl are at high risk of developing acute pancreatitis. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of plasma exchange (PE) in reducing triglyceride levels during an acute attack of hyperlipidemic pancreatitis (HLP). A total of 17
We have developed a conscious septic dog model suitable for in vivo tracer studies. Dogs weighing 10 to 20 kg underwent general anesthesia followed by the insertion of long-term arterial, venous, and portal cannulas and the formation of a long-term tracheostomy. After 7 to 10 days of convalescence,
