Both an external nasal strip device (FLAIR) and furosemide significantly attenuated pulmonary hemorrhage in Thoroughbred horses following a 2-minute bout of high-speed treadmill exercise. Given the purported ergogenic effects of furosemide and the general concerns associated with drug use in racehorses, the external nasal strip is a viable alternative for the attenuation of exerciseinduced pulm...

We report a case of a premature infant presenting with recurrent pulmonary hemorrhage in which we performed a therapeutic lavage with diluted surfactant after an acute episode of bleeding with severe intractable hypoxemia. Repeated small aliquots of diluted surfactant (10×2 mL) allowed rapid improvement in oxygenation and reduction of required mean airway pressures during high frequency oscilla...

A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with cough, hemosputum, dyspnea and chest pain. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) revealed diffuse ground-glass opacities in both lungs with peripheral predominance. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was fresh-bloody and analysis indicated an increase in the eosinophil proportion. Benzbromarone-induced lymphocyte stimulation test was posi...

Ischemic strokes secondary to occlusion of large vessels have been described in patients with COVID-19. Also, venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism related the disease. Vascular may be associated a prothrombotic state due COVID-19-related coagulopathy endotheliopathy. Intracranial hemorrhagic lesions can additionally seen these patients. The causative mechanism hemorrhage could antico...

A patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) results in increased pulmonary blood flow and redistribution of flow to other organs. Several co-morbidities (i.e., necrotizing enterocolitis, intracranial hemorrhage, pulmonary edema/hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and retinopathy) are associated with the presence of a PDA, but whether or not a PDA is responsible for their development is still unclear. ...

Septic adrenal hemorrhage is classically caused by meningococcemia. An autopsied case is presented of a 45-year-old man with adrenal hemorrhage due to Klebsiella oxytoca bacteremia following placement of a central venous catheter. He died 5 hours after developing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The bacterial entry site may have been the catheter. The cause of death was considered ...

A 32-year-old man presented with a 10-day history of fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, myalgia, nonproductive cough, and worsening dyspnea after freshwater swimming in the Caribbean 1 week prior to presentation. Shortly after arrival at the hospital, the patient developed severe respiratory distress with massive hemoptysis. Based on serologic workup, he was diagnosed with leptospirosis pulmonary...
