The findings in a stillborn female fetus of 31 weeks' gestation with congenital Gaucher disease, nonimmune hydrops/erythroblastosis, infantile arterial calcification, and neonatal hepatitis/fibrosis are presented, the first report of this complete constellation. Prior reports describe two similar
Thrombocytopenia, Anasarca, Fever, Reticulin fibrosis/Renal failure, and Organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome is a recently described systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis/renal failure, and organomegaly. It has an acute or subacute onset of
We read with great interest the observations made by Montalvo-Gordon and colleagues regarding the potential of SGLT-2 inhibitors to ameliorate ascites and peripheral edema in patients with cirrhosis and concomitant type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), serving also as an alternative treatment option in
OBJECTIVE
The mechanism by which chronic myocardial edema causes cardiac dysfunction is poorly understood. We hypothesized that myocardial edema triggers cardiac fibrosis development resulting in cardiac dysfunction. Since collagen is the most abundant constituent of the interstitial matrix, we
OBJECTIVE
Human corneas with or without stromal edema were examined by second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging microscopy to characterize stromal collagen organization.
METHODS
Tissue buttons from 31 corneas with stromal edema and 8 normal corneas were fixed, and 3-mm(2) blocks were cut and stained
We tested the hypothesis that in advanced pulmonary fibrosis, edema is redistributed away from the relatively noncompliant interstitium and predominantly floods alveoli. Severe left lung fibrosis was produced in six dogs with radiation and intratracheal bleomycin and, 24 mo later, hydrostatic edema
Transient myeloproliferative disorder is a self limiting disorder characterized by leukocytosis with the presence of megakaryoblasts in the peripheral blood and bone marrow, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and organomegaly. It occurs in approximately 10% of newborn infants with Down syndrome. Hepatic
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder characterized by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pancreatic exocrine deficiency, and abnormally high sweat electrolyte concentrations. Less frequently, the presenting features in infants may include edema, anemia, hypoproteinemia, and acrodermatitis
Among the total number of patients treated at the Danish National Center for cystic fibrosis during the period 1949-1980, 130 had been hospitalized during infancy. Seven of them (approximately 5%) had developed edema, hypoproteinemia, and anemia between their first and fifth month of life. All seven
Lymphedema is a soft-tissue swelling that occurs following lymphatic fluid accumulation. Edema is due to insufficient lymphatic drainage that occurs because of lymphatic vessel obstruction or absence [1]. Chronic lymphedema can cause a clinical picture of tense non-pitting edema with thickened
OBJECTIVE
Loop diuretics and spironolactone are used in patients with hepatic edema, but they are sometimes associated with insufficient responses as well as adverse events. Tolvaptan, a vasopressin type 2 receptor antagonist, was approved for hepatic edema in 2013. A large-scale post-marketing
We describe a premature neonate with endocardial fibrosis associated with hydrops fetalis. The infant did not have any other cardiac disorder and expired with congestive heart failure when five days old. Endocardial fibroelastosis has been previously described in neonates but is rare and is usually
The author suggests calling the involution vitreoretinal syndrome a characteristic symptom complex of vitreoretinal changes occurring in advanced age. He distinguishes three stages in the course of this syndrome an early one, whose signs are, among other things, destruction of the anterior segment
We report the case of an 80-year-old woman with postoperative congestive heart failure (CHF) complicated by Child-Pugh classification B liver cirrhosis and hepatic edema successfully treated with tolvaptan. The patient suffered from liver cirrhosis and underwent partial hepatectomy for a
To determine whether interstitial pulmonary edema occurs or not in experimental cirrhotic rats, male Sprague-Dawley rats were given carbon tetrachloride subcutaneously in order to induce liver cirrhosis. The percent lung water content of the cirrhotic rats increased to 79.1 +/- 0.7% compared to 77.4
