OBJECTIVE Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is an uncommon disorder, which is characterized by recurrent hemoptysis, iron deficiency anemia and diffuse parenchymal infiltration on chest radiographs in pediatric patients. We wish to present clinical and radiological (plain radiography and CT) findings of this rare pathology. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 14-year-old girl was ...

BACKGROUND idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare disorder characterized by intermittent, diffuse alveolar bleeding. The pathogenesis of the diseases is unclear, although an association with milk or gluten hypersensitivity has been described, and an immune-mediated damage of alveolar capillaries has been suggested. A previous report showed the release of histamine after cow's milk ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The PED is a flow-diverting stent designed for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. We report 4 cases of delayed ipsilateral IPH following the technically successful treatment of anterior circulation aneurysms with the PED. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical and imaging data from all patients undergoing aneurysm treatment with the PED at 2 institutions were analyzed to asse...

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis is a rare disorder that can occur at any age and is characterized by the triad of hemoptysis, iron deficiency anemia and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates. The clinical course is exceedingly variable especially in children and a substantial proportion of this age group is undiagnosed. It is probably due to the fact that iron deficiency anemia may be the first and ...

BACKGROUND Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) leads to surgical complications and increases length of stay. IPH rates are high with the current standard of care, forced air warming (FAW). Our hypothesis is that a prototype thermal compression device that heats the popliteal fossa and soles of the feet, with lower leg compression, increases perioperative temperatures and reduces IPH com...

PURPOSE To investigate the natural history of carotid atherosclerosis in patients who experienced a TIA or ischemic stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ninety-two TIA/stroke patients (57 men, mean age 67.7 ± 9.8 years) with ipsilateral <70% carotid stenosis underwent multisequence MRI of the plaque ipsilateral to the symptomatic side at baseline and after one year. For each plaque, several parameter...

Inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (epulis fissuratum) (IFH) and inflammatory papillary hyperplasia (IPH) are oral mucosal diseases caused by ill-fitting denture wearing. A study was carried out on a group of Turkish people consisted of 131 female and 39 male complete denture wearers (n= 170) distributed in two age groups (30-60 and 60-80 years old). The analysis of data collected from patients s...

This paper presents IPH-TRIM3D-PCLake, a three-dimensional complex dynamic model for subtropical aquatic ecosystems. It combines a spatially explicit hydrodynamic model with a water-quality and biotic model of ecological interactions. The software, which is freely available for research purposes, has a graphical user-friendly interface and a flexible design that allows the user to vary the comp...

OBJECTIVES To describe the clinical details and follow up of children with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Pediatric chest clinic of a tertiary care hospital. SUBJECTS Children diagnosed as suffering from idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH). METHODS Charts of patients diagnosed as IPH were reviewed for clinical features and treatment re...

OBJECTIVE To describe the change in diabetic status over 30 months. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Cohort study of 5,400 Caucasian men from the Paris Prospective Study, aged 44-55 years, who were not known as having diabetes at baseline. Oral glucose tolerance tests were performed at baseline and after 30 months. RESULTS At baseline, diabetes was diagnosed in 2.9% of the men by fasting plasma ...
