Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor with a variable natural history and biologic behavior, ranging from completely benign to malignant with fatal outcome. We report a case of benign IMT in the left nasal cavity with radiologic features mimicking angiofibroma. We also demonstrate the hypervascular nature of this disease on angiography and the contribution of preoperative emb...

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a standard treatment for intramucosal colorectal neoplasms. Bleeding is one of the common complications of EMR [1,2]. Bleeding is often stopped using hemoclips [3], soft coagulation with hemostatic forceps [4], and hypertonic saline–epinephrine injection [5], but it may be difficult to locate the bleeding vessel if the bleeding is continuous or massive. The...

Postoperative bleeding might become a serious problem in the management of cardiac surgical patients, with marked medical and economic impact. In these life-threatening situations, massive haemorrhage represents frequently a combination of surgical and coagulopathic bleeding. Surgical bleeding results from a definite source at the operation site and can be corrected using surgical standard tech...

Up to 14 percent of women experience irregular or excessively heavy menstrual bleeding. This abnormal uterine bleeding generally can be divided into anovulatory and ovulatory patterns. Chronic anovulation can lead to irregular bleeding, prolonged unopposed estrogen stimulation of the endometrium, and increased risk of endometrial cancer. Causes include polycystic ovary syndrome, uncontrolled di...

INTRODUCTION Our aim was to develop consensus guidelines for use of recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) in massive hemorrhage. METHODS A guidelines committee derived the recommendations using clinical trial and case series data identified through searches of available databases. Guidelines were graded on a scale of A-E according to the strength of evidence available. Consensus was sough...

In the EO group, seven out of 30 cases died during the course of study, which included five patients of hepatocellular carcinoma, one hepatic failure and one uncontrolled bleeding. Except for the seven deceased patients and seven cases which could not be analyzed because of either too short observation time or loss of contact, 29.4% patients of varices were completely eradicated, 35.5% were imp...

I n 1990, about 5 million people died worldwide as a result of injury, and it seems likely that the global epidemic of deadly trauma is only beginning. By 2020, deaths from injury are expected to increase to 8 million worldwide (2), and 30% of these fatalities will be attributable to uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (3). Resuscitation of patients in uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock remains one of t...

10.2217/14750708.4.1.91 © 20 Portal hypertension is one of the main consequences of cirrhosis. Esophageal varices are most often a consequence of portal hypertension, although they can also be formed in other areas of the body, including the stomach, duodenum, colon and/or rectum. Patients with esophageal varices have a strong tendency to develop bleeding. Conversely, varices do not bleed if th...
