BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare but potentially lethal condition in paediatric patients. This condition is considered an immune-mediated disorder, but its pathogenesis is still unknown. Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis is characterized by the classical triad of haemoptysis, iron-deficiency anaemia, and diffuse parenchymal consolidation on chest radiology. Unfor...

The Institute of Public Health (IPH) is the Principal Recipient (PR) of the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria Round 5 HIV/AIDS and TB grants. The GF HIV Grant is highly targeted, aimed at filling key gaps in the national response to HIV/AIDS. Albania is considered a low HIV prevalence country based on the number of reported cases. The work presented in this paper is carried out as part of th...

This article puts intimate partner homicide (IPH) into a process perspective, and describes the situational precursors that constitute build-up, is, first stage of IPH precedes deed. Fifty court files, from cases involving 40 male ten female perpetrators, underwent thematic analysis. Our findings indicate build-up phase an is complex encompasses several different features, which some are clearl...

Abstract
 Objective
 The pediatric age group is in the risk for Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) due to insufficient subcutaneous adipose tissue and underdeveloped thermoregulatory responses.
 We aimed determine frequency of IPH undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
 Methods
 study prospective observational.
 Pediatric patients (1-18 years old) who underwent ...

Introduction: Atherosclerosis has been shown to be a systematic disease which often involves multiple vascular beds, such as coronary and carotid arteries . The size of carotid lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) and presence of intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) were demonstrated to be high risk features due to their correlations with neurovascular events . For coronary atherosclerosis, previous studies...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Carotid artery plaques with vulnerable plaque components are related to a higher risk of cerebrovascular accidents. It is unknown which factors drive vulnerable plaque development. Shear stress, the frictional force of blood at the vessel wall, is known to influence plaque formation. We evaluated the association between shear stress and plaque components (intraplaque haemorr...

PURPOSE To investigate the characteristics of plaque in the thoracic aorta using three dimensional multicontrast magnetic resonance imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Elderly subjects (≥60years) were recruited in this study. Thoracic aorta was imaged on a 3.0T MR scanner by acquiring multicontrast sequences. The plaque burden was evaluated by measuring lumen area, wall area, wall thickness, and n...

Research documents numerous individual-level risk factors for adolescent dating violence victimization, as well as an association between area concentrated disadvantage (i.e., areas characterized by high poverty, unemployment, and residential turnover) and partner violence among adults. However, little is known about contextual contributors to adolescent dating violence (DV). Although concentra...

BACKGROUND The Israel Mental Health Act of 1991 stipulates a process for involuntary psychiatric hospitalization (IPH). A patient thus hospitalized may be discharged by either the treating psychiatrist (TP) or the district psychiatric committee (DPC). The decision rendered by the DPC is often at odds with the recommendation of the TP. Although much has been written about the ethical issues of r...

Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis (IPH) is characterized by the triad of iron deficiency anemia, pulmonary infiltrates and haemoptysis with no recognizable cause. Since the first description of its association with Celiac Disease (CD) by Lane and Hamilton in 1971, only a few isolated cases have been reported in literature. Although it has been considered an uncommon association of two disease ...
