High permeability pulmonary edema (ARDS) during tocolytic therapy — a case report

A Rare Case Report with Periorbital Edema

IgG4 related disease is fibro-inflammatory condition characterized by infiltration and increased levels of G4 immunoglobulin, multi-organ involvement and periorbital swelling. It is more common among men especially in middle to old ages. The diagnosis should be confirmed with histopathology. The diagnostic three important features of disease are lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, storiform fibrosi...

Negative pressure pulmonary edema: case report.

Pulmonary epithelial permeability in ARDS and cardiogenic pulmonary oedema.

Clearance of inhaled 99mTechnetium-labelled diethylene triamine pentacetate (99mTc-DTPA) from the lung, an index of pulmonary alveolar epithelial permeability (PAEP), was measured in 13 patients with cardiogenic interstitial pulmonary oedema (CIPO) and in 7 patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Thirty-five normal subjects (22 nonsmokers and 13 smokers) were evaluated as cont...

Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis: A Rare Case Report

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an uncommon infiltrative pulmonary disease characterized by deposition of microliths in the alveoli. We present the case of a young adult with complaints of shortness of breath on exertion. Chest radiograph showed innumerable small, dense nodules, diffusely involving both the lungs - predominantly in the lower zones. High-resolution CT scan illustrated wides...

A Case Report of Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by the formation of calcium phosphate deposition in the alveoli. Although the disease most often occurs in children, most patients with the disease are diagnosed in adulthood due to the slow progression of the disease inside the lungs. In childhood, it often causes no symptoms, and changes in the lung parenchy...
