BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High blood pressure (BP) is present in approximately 80% of patients with acute ischemic stroke and is independently associated with poor outcome. There are few data examining the relationship between admission BP and acute CT findings. METHODS TAIST was a randomized controlled trial assessing 10 days of treatment with tinzaparin versus aspirin in 1489 patients with acu...

the effects of hydroalcoholic extract (he) of curculigo orchioides gaertn. rhizome (hypoxidaceae) and its alkaloidal and non-alkaloidal fractions (af) and (naf) were evaluated in carrageenan-induced paw edema experimental models of inflammation. the oral administration of he, their af and naf fractions were used at doses of 100, 300 and 500 mg/kg. the effect produced by the he, af and naf fract...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) is poor because of the mass effect arising from the hematoma and the associated peri-hemorrhagic edema, leading to increased intracranial pressure. Because the efficacy of surgical and anti-edematous treatment strategies is limited, we investigated the effects of mild induced hypothermia in patients with large s...

Hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation induces pulmonary inflammation that leads to acute lung injury. Biliverdin, a metabolite of heme catabolism, has been shown to have potent cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant effects. This study aimed to examine the effects of intravenous biliverdin administration on lung injury induced by hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rats. Biliverdi...

Extraparenchymal Bleeding Predicts an Unfavorable Outcome in Patients With Hemorrhagic Transformation To the Editor: We read with interest the recent article by Fiorelli et al.1 The authors confirmed the reliability of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) as a diagnosis which, as we have found, could be made by either a neuroradiologist or a trained neurologist.2 However, of greater clinical relevan...

Acute Hemorrhagic Edema of Infancy (AHEI) is a rare leukocytoclastic vasculitis, clinically characterized by the classical triad: palpable purpuric skin lesions, edema and fever, and is commonly misdiagnosed as Henoch-Schönlein purpura. In addition to its sudden onset, AHEI is also characterized by its self-limited course with complete and spontaneous recovery occurring between 1 and 3 weeks. B...

introductio dengue fever is the world’s most important hemorrhagic fever, especially in america, pacific islands, and asia. in countries like ours where viral hepatitis, malaria, enteric fever are common; it represents a challenge to identify the etiology of acute fever complicated by hepatitis. case presentation we report a case of acute hepatitis in a 7-year-old male with dengue hemorrhagic f...

Apart from gastroenteritis, rotavirus has been rarely implicated with some cutaneous disorders such as generalized maculo-papular exanthema, infantile acute hemorrhagic edema and Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. We report a 30-month old toddler boy who developed erythematous macular skin eruptions during the course of rotavirus gastroenteritis. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the literatur...

Background Hemorrhage is a frequent complication in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is speculated to be an independent predictor of adverse outcomes [1]. In addition to infarct zone remodeling, the distal remote myocardium may experience alterations vasodilator dysfunction, edema, and extracellular matrix (ECM) expansion [2-4]. The aim of our study was to understand the impact of hemorrha...

We report a case of the intestinal lesion in Henoch-Schönlein purpura, presented with an acute abdomen in a 4 year old boy. Five days after sudden colicky abdominal pain, skin purpura and painful joint swelling developed. These manifestations were associated with abdominal distension, hematemesis, hematochezia and hematuria. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a marked bowel distension with edema a...
