چکیده
Since 1974, late results of the Mustard procedure for correcting complete transposition of the great arteries have been evaluated by cardiac catheterization, electrocardiography, roentgenography, history, and physical examination of 48 Mayo Clinic patients. Of these, 15 were studied I month to 2 years postoperatively because of clinical deterioration. The other 33 had been asymptomatic but were asked to return for hemodynamic reevaluation one-half to 1I years postoperatively.

متن کاملClinical Review of Mustard Lung
More than 45,000 of 100,000 exposed patients are suffering from late effects of sulfur mustard (SM) after almost 20 years post-exposure. Respiratory complications of SM exacerbate over time and are the greatest cause of long-term disability in exposed patients.

متن کاملLate-onset Radiologic Findings of Respiratory System Following Sulfur Mustard Exposure
Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) as a chemical warfare agent, increases permeability of bronchial vessels and damages airway epithelium. SM exposure causes debilitating respiratory complications. This study was designed to evaluate clinical respiratory manifestations, and to compare chest X ray (CXR) and high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan of chest in SM exposed patients with respira...
متن کاملLATE COMPLICATIONS OF SULFUR MUSTARD IN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
In the last few years many chemically injured patients have been visited throughout the country in order to investigate the late respiratory complications of sulfur mustard. 35 patients who were previously admitted for mustard poisoning underwent complete clinical examination as well as spirometry, fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB), Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and trans bronchial lung biopsy...
متن کاملCan mustard gas induce late onset polyneuropathy?
Abstract Background: Mustard gas, lethal in high doses, affects multiple organs such as skin, eye and respiratory system. We studied the development of late onset mustardinduced polyneuropathy among chemically wounded Iranian veterans. Methods: In this descriptive study, 100 chemically wounded Iranian veterans with severe eye involvement were examined for any signs and symptoms of polyneuropat...
