INTRODUCTION We found that pulse pressure variation (PPV) did not predict volume responsiveness in patients with increased pulmonary artery pressure. This study tests the hypothesis that PPV does not predict fluid responsiveness during an endotoxin-induced acute increase in pulmonary artery pressure and right ventricular loading. METHODS Pigs were subjected to endotoxemia (0.4 microg/kg/hour ...

PURPOSE The immediate complications associated with a generalized tonic-clonic (GTC) seizure usually involve injuries such as aspiration pneumonia, head injury, skull or vertebral fracture and orolingual biting injury. Here we present a young man who suffered from GTC that was followed by a rare complication, acute diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage, which presented with massive hemoptysis and subseq...

Abstract Background Pulmonary hemosiderosis is a rare disease that may be idiopathic or have secondary etiology, such as mitral stenosis. The clinical and functional consequence of iron overload in the lungs form hemosiderin. diagnosis should considered patients with miliary nodules on chest tomography. Case presentation We report case 30-year-old man severe stenosis who presented pain dyspnea....
