Newborn splenic volumes vary under different malaria endemic conditions.
Ultrasound was used to measure newborn splenic dimensions and calculate the volumes in a malarious and a non-malarious region of Papua New Guinea. The median splenic volume of infants born in Madang, where malaria transmission is high throughout the year, was 5.2 cm3/kg, while that of infants born in Goroka, where malaria is not endemic, was 2.6 cm3/kg. The cause of this difference is unknown, ...

متن کاملSplenic autotransplantation for treatment of portal hypertension.
BACKGROUND When total splenectomy is unavoidable it is important to preserve splenic function in some form in order to prevent the complications of asplenism. Splenic autotransplantation is a good alternative in such cases. We describe the use of splenic autotransplantation for the treatment of portal hypertension. METHODS We carried out total splenectomy on 31 patients (21 men, 10 women), ra...
متن کاملSystemic and portal hemodynamic effects of anandamide.
The endogenous cannabinoid anandamide causes hypotension and mesenteric arteriolar dilation. A detailed analysis of its effects on systemic and portal venous hemodynamics had not yet been performed. We assessed the effects of anandamide (0.4-10 mg/kg) on systemic and portal hemodynamics with and without prior treatment with various antagonists. The specific antagonists used included SR-141716A,...
متن کاملPortal hypertension resulting from splenic arteriovenous fistulae.
Portal hypertension is commonly due to obstruction to portal blood flow either within the liver as in cirrhosis, or within the portal vein, as from thrombosis. In recent years, however, reports have multiplied of portal hypertension in the absence of both intrahepatic and extrahepatic obstruction (Rousselot, 1940; Whipple, 1945; Hallenbeck and Shocket, 1957; Tisdale, Klatstin, and Glenn, 1959; ...
