INTRODUCTION Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) is a hyperadrenergic syndrome that may follow acute brain injury characterized by episodic, hyperadrenergic alterations in vital signs. Identifying commonality in lesion localization in patients with PSH is challenging, but intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH) represents a focal injury that might provide insight. We describe a series of patie...

Intra-plaque hemorrhage (IPH) and lipid core, characteristics of rupture prone carotid plaques, are often visualized in vivo with MRI using T1 weighted gradient and spin echo, respectively. Increasing magnetic field strength may help to identify IPH and lipid core better. As a proof of concept, automatic segmentation of plaque components was performed with the Mahalanobis distance (MD) measure ...

BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by chronic pulmonary hemorrhage and presents with a triad of anemia, hemoptysis and pulmonary infiltrates. IPH is a diagnosis of exclusion with a variable and disparate clinical course. Despite existing therapies, few children achieve full remission while others have recurrent hemorrhage, pr...

This paper tests the validity of the Implicit Prosody Hypothesis (IPH) (Fodor 1998, 2002) based on production and perception experiments on Korean data. IPH states that attachment of a relative clause (RC) in a sentence with a complex noun phrase is influenced by a default prosodic contour of the structure projected in silent reading. It predicts that speakers of a language who prefer high atta...

We introduce and study some metric spaces of increasing positively homogeneous (IPH) functions, decreasing functions, and conormal (upward) sets. We prove that the complements of the subset of strictly increasing IPH functions, of the subset of strictly decreasing functions, and of the subset of strictly conormal sets are σ-porous in corresponding spaces. Some applications to optimization are g...

Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare disorder affecting mainly children and adolescents, and is usually fatal. However, there is increasing evidence that the aetiology of this condition is immunological, and that immunosuppressives may prolong remission. Two cases are reported, one of which has the atypical feature of a malabsorption syndrome. This has not been previously reporte...

Idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis (IPH) was first described by Virchow in 1865 as 'brown lung induration'. In 1931 Ceelen reported the necropsy findings in 2 children. The clinical picture in association with radiological and pathological findings was reported by Waldenstrom (1944), and Wyllie et al. (1948) reviewed 24 cases in children. Nearly 200 have since been reported. In the past 5 year...

We report the case of a female child with Down's syndrome affected by idiopathic pulmonary haemosiderosis (IPH), who was successfully treated with hydroxychloroquine. First-line conventional treatment of IPH is traditionally based on systemic corticosteroids; however, many steroid-sparing agents are being increasingly used as adjuncts to corticosteroids in children with recurrent or refractory ...

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a very rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent or chronic hemorrhage and accumulation of hemosiderin in the lung parenchyma. It is most common in children but can occur in adults. Clinical manifestations of the disease include iron deficiency anemia without any known cause, pulmonary symptoms such as hemoptysis, dyspnea and cough,...

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 ...
