Spontaneous Pneumo-Peritoneum

Emphysematous Pyelonephritis and Pneumo-Vena Cava

A 38-year-old woman with insulin-dependent diabetes reported four-days of flank pain, dysuria, polyuria and urinary urgency. Vital signs included blood pressure 113/70mmHg, heart rate 135/min, respiratory rate 24/min, and temperature 102.5 ̊F. Exam revealed right cerebral vascular accident and suprapubic tenderness without guarding or rebound. Significant laboratory evaluations included a leukoc...

Pneumo-Enzymatic Vitreolysis for Resistant Vitreomacular Traction

Aim: Case report describing a patient with resistant vitreomacular traction (VMT) treated with an intravitreal injection of a potentially safer, lower dose of ocriplasmin and with a residual intravitreal gas bubble from pneumatic vitreolysis. Case Report: An 88-year-old man with symptomatic vitreomacular traction (VMT) was observed for 4 weeks without spontaneous release. Pneumatic vitreolysis ...

An approach to multibody simulation of pneumo-mechanical systems

This work describes a method for the simulation of multiple pneumatic actuators in a context of multi body mechanical systems. The model of the single actuator is based on elliptical approximation of non-linear pneumatic devices; friction and sticking phenomena are considered as well. Pneumatic devices introduce forces and new state variables into the complete multibody system: we developed a s...

Pneumo-renal sarcoidosis revealed by F-18 FDG PET/CT

A 61-year-old non-smoking woman presented with lowgrade fever of 1 year duration, which had remained undiagnosed after several first-line investigations. Intermittent non-productive cough and arthromyalgias were the only relevant complaints on history taking. Clinical examination was otherwise unremarkable. Laboratory findings only revealed increased C-reactive protein at 5 mg/dL. Of note, rena...
