hemostasis using hemostatic forceps for a bleeding Dieulafoy lesion To our knowledge, there have been no reports in the English literature of cases of delayed perforation occurring more than 2 days after hemostasis for gastrointestinal bleeding, including bleeding related to endoscopic submucosal dissection. Additionally, according to previous reports [1,2], in patients with delayed perforation...

Renal failure is associated with severe haemorrhagic complications. Platelets play an important role in coagulation and their dysfunction may be responsible for the bleeding tendency in these patients. Sixty patients with advanced renal failure were investigated for bleeding tendency due to platelet dysfunction. The pre-dialysis platelet count was 46 to 325 x 10(9)/L) (mean 166 x 10(9)/L). Post...

Due to rarity of factor V (FV) deficiency, there have been only a few case reports in Korea. We retrospectively analysed the clinical-laboratory features of FV deficiency in 10 Korean patients. Between January 1987 and December 2013, 10 case reports published in a Korean journal or proceedings of Korea Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis were reviewed. Severity is defined as mild (> 5% of fact...

A 68-year-old woman with end-stage diabetic nephropathy undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for 2 years was admitted for septic shock with coma, who was found hours earlier. Physical examination revealed an unconscious febrile woman with blood pressure of 84/ 49 mmHg. Blood tests showed a haemoglobin of 11.5 (normal 12–15) g/dL, white blood cell (WBC) count of 11.3 (normal 3.8–...

Adenomyosis or endometriosis genitalis interna is a frequent benign disease of women in fertile age. It causes symptoms like bleeding disorders and dysmenorrhea and seems to have a negative effect on fertility. Adenomyosis can be part of a complex genital and extragenital endometriosis but also can be found as a solitary uterine disease. While peritoneal endometriosis can be easily diagnosed by...

Vaginal injuries following perineal trauma are relatively rare. Vaginal evisceration is even rarer accounting for less than 1% of all trauma to the perineum [1]. These injuries are associated with minimal symptoms and signs. Perineal or lower abdominal pain with vaginal bleeding are the common complaints and investigations such as erect abdominal x-ray or abdominal ultra-sonography may not demo...

Perforation is one of the major complications encountered during endoscopic procedures. The standard of care for these complications is either surgical intervention or nonoperative medical approach with antibiotics and bowel rest with or without parenteral alimentation. Metallic clips, initially developed to secure hemostasis in bleeding, have been successfully used to close perforations in the...

The absorption of red cells from the normal peritoneum of the dog can be demonstrated by means of red cells labeled with radio-iron incorporated in the hemoglobin of these red cells. Absorption in normal dogs runs from 20 to 100 per cent of the amount given within 24 hours. Dogs rendered anemic by bleeding absorb red cells a little less rapidly-ranging from 5 to 80 per cent of the injected red ...

Peritoneal lymphomatosis is an extremely rare presentation of lymphoma. Due to its relative low frequency, it receives much less attention than peritoneal carcinomatosis. The challenge is to differentiate between lymphomatosis and carcinomatosis, as well as peritoneal tuberculosis or other pathologic entities within the peritoneal cavity based essentially on radiologic features. 18</...

BACKGROUND Uterine perforation is the most common complication of curettage and may result in bleeding. Therefore, urgent control of bleeding from the uterine wall perforation is necessary to avoid an emergency hysterectomy or blood transfusion, to prevent peritoneal adhesion formation, possible chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. In the present case, an active bleeding secondary to a perfora...
