Severe Hepatic Injury Caused by Orlistat

Hepatic injury caused by mianserin.

Hepatic injury caused by L-alpha-methyldopa.

a rise in serum alkaline phosphatase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase levels, and increased Bromsulphalein retention. Elevation of the serum bilirubin may occur. In its most benign form the condition is usually symptomless, but complaints, such as anorexia, abdominal pain, or pruritus, and signs, such as fever or hepatomegaly, may occur. Histologic changes similar to those of viral hepatitis ...

Severe lymphedema caused by repeated self-injury.

Lymphedema is divided into primary and secondary forms. Primary lymphedema often develops in young people and may be caused by lymphvascular aplasia, hypoplasia, and hyperplasia. The most frequent cause of secondary lymphedema after lymphatic filariasis is regional lymph node dissection for treatment of a malignant tumor, and this complication occurs most frequently in middle aged or older pati...

Enzyme Activities during Hepatic Injury Caused by Carbon Tetrachloride.

Rats injected with carbon tetrachloride show markedly elevated plasma glutamic oxalacetic transaminase and plasma fumarase but, at the same time, these enzyme activities do not decrease in the liver. Three mechanisms are proposed which may account for the increase in plasma enzymes: first, a transfer of the enzyme systems from the necrotized liver cell to the plasma; second, the synthesis of pl...

Socioeconomic Factors Associated With Mortality Rate Caused by Severe Stroke

Background: Stroke is one of the most important causes of disability-adjusted life years lost. Low socioeconomic status is associated with increased stroke-related morbidity and mortality. Objective: This study aimed to investigate in-hospital mortality rate caused by severe cases of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and its relationship with patients’ socioeconomic status. Materials and Method...
