Intravascular haemolysis in the recreational runner.

Intravascular haemolysis in the recreational runner.

Intravascular haemolysis has been found to result from prolonged endurance competition, rigorous military training and participation in impact sports. Haematological research involving the recreational runner is sparse. Recreational runners frequently vary their training to avoid monotony and improve endurance capacity. This study investigated the haematological effects of a typical day of incr...

Acute intravascular haemolysis associated with cephalexin therapy.

CEPHALEXIN, a new semi-synthetic antibiotic derived from cephalosporin C, has the same basic nucleus and the same range of activity as its predecessors, cephalothin and cephaloridine but has the advantage that it can be given orally. As this drug is relatively new, few side-effects have been described. The following case report is of a boy, aged 14 years, who developed acute intravascular haemo...

Massive intravascular haemolysis due to Clostridium perfringens

MEDICAL PRACTICE Persistent Knee Pain in a Recreational Runner

Primary bone cancers are rare and affect fewer than 2500 people yearly in the United States. Osteosarcoma, the most common malignant primary bone tumor, has an annual incidence of 2 cases per million people. Advances in surgical and medical therapies have dramatically improved the prognosis of osteosarcoma during the last few decades. Early detection by primary care physicians remains a corners...

Intravascular haemolysis and thrombocytopenia in left ventricular outflow obstruction.

Twenty-four patients with various types of isolated discrete aortic stenosis of a wide range of severity or with muscular obstruction to left ventricular outflow were studied haematologically and by cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography. Patients had haematocrits, reticulocyte, platelet, and megathrombocyte counts, serum haptoglobin, and lactic dehydrogenase performed; urine specimens w...
