Isolated intrapulmonary haemorrhage

Acute fulminating intrapulmonary haemorrhage in Wegener's granulomatosis.

Nasal and intrapulmonary haemorrhage in sudden infant death syndrome.

BACKGROUND Fresh intrapulmonary and oronasal haemorrhages in cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) might be markers for accidental or intentional smothering inappropriately diagnosed as SIDS. AIM To compare the incidence, epidemiological association, and inter-relation of nasal haemorrhage, intrapulmonary haemorrhage, and intrathoracic petechiae in infant deaths certified as SIDS. ME...

Conservative management of large intrapulmonary haemorrhage following penetrating chest trauma

Penetrating chest wounds can hide a range of life threatening injuries and often require emergency surgical management. It is important that the patient be assessed and managed according to clinical need and response to medical intervention. This is a case of a patient with a large intrapulmonary haematoma who was managed conservatively and made a good recovery without need for surgery.

Serial estimations of carbon monoxide diffusing capacity in intrapulmonary haemorrhage.

1. Serial estimations of the diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, with a standard single-breath technique, were used to assist the monitoring of disease activity in patients at risk from intrapulmonary haemorrhage. 2. A reversible rise in diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide per unit alveolar volume (DLCO/VA) of 50% or more above baseline values was detected on 61 occasions and in the diff...

The Relaxant Effect of Propofol on Isolated Rat Intrapulmonary Arteries

Propofol is a widely used anesthetic. Many studies have shown that propofol has direct effects on blood vessels, but the precise mechanism is not fully understood. Secondary intrapulmonary artery rings from male rats were prepared and mounted in a Multi Myograph System. The following constrictors were used to induce contractions in isolated artery rings: high K(+) solution (60 mmol/L); U46619 s...
