Antibody - mediated tissue damage
The association between hypergammaglobulinaemia and raised serum viscosity has been recognised for more than 40 years. Waldenstrom (1944) described three patients in whom macroglobulinaemia was associated with increased serum viscosity, and even earlier than this there had been reports of raised plasma viscosity in myelomatosis (Albers, 1937). Since these early reports many of the clinical feat...
متن کاملInfant with Severe Cerebral Damage
The biosynthesis of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide requires five enzymes. One enzyme, carbamylphosphate synthetase converts ammonia and bicarbonate to carbamyl phosphate, which subsequently condenses with ornithine to form citrulline, a reaction catalysed by ornithine transcarbamylase. Citrulline is then converted by argininosuccinic acid synthetase to argininosuccinic acid, which is clea...
متن کاملSevere soft tissue infections.
Severe skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) frequently require management in the ICU, in part related to associated septic shock or toxic shock syndrome or associated organ failure. Four fundamental management principles are key to a successful outcome in caring for patients who have severe SSTIs, including (1) early diagnosis and differentiation of necrotizing versus nonnecrotizing SSTI, (2...
متن کاملSevere ADC decreases do not predict irreversible tissue damage in humans.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A mismatch between diffusion- and perfusion-weighted MRI is thought to define tissue at risk of infarction. This concept is based on the assumption that diffusion slowing of and decreases in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) serve as indicator of tissue proceeding to infarction. We tested this hypothesis. METHODS MRI (diffusion weighted, perfusion weighted, MRA, ...
متن کاملMRI to predict severe tissue damage in inflammatory lesions in animal models of multiple sclerosis.
Sir, To correlate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns with tissue destruction is interesting, but to correlate MR patterns with ongoing inflammation to predict the fate of a lesion is of great importance in clinical practice of Multiple sclerosis (MS). The paper of Nessler et al. (2007) reporting early and predictive MRI changes in a mouse model of MS is therefore of great interest. The p...
