introduction: the effect of severe soft tissue injury on the severity of hemorrhagic shock is still unknown. therefore, the present study was aimed to determine hemodynamic and metabolic changes in traumatic/hemorrhagic shock in an animal model. methods: forty male rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups including sham, hemorrhagic shock, soft tissue injury, and hemorrhagic shock + soft ...

background: anticoagulation therapy is a routine treatment in patients with hemorrhagic cerebral venous thrombosis (cvt). however, fear of hemorrhagic complications and deterioration course following anticoagulation often disturbs the responsible physician. methods: this was a prospective observational study on consecutive cvt patients with hemorrhagic venous infarction or subarachnoid hemorrha...

background: hemorrhagic transformation (ht) of ischemic stroke (is) is a detrimental complication. this study investigated the association between serum ferritin level and ht in patients with massive is of middle cerebral artery.   methods: thirty patients with massive is of middle cerebral artery were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. they were divided into two groups based on the ser...

purpose : to report a case of adult ocular leech infestation case report : a 67-year-old male presented to the emergency department of farabi eye hospital with the complaint of bloody tear. slitlamp biomicroscopy of left eye revealed bloody lashes, bloody tear and a large black green foreign body attached to the inferotemporal bulbar conjunctiva. one cc of lidocaine 2% was injected directly to ...

Background: Hemorrhagic events are amongst the major adverse effects of injectable anticoagulants such as heparin and enoxaparin. This necessitates close monitoring of their use for clinically relevant drug-drug interactions. Aim: To study the rate of hemorrhagic events, the anatomical site, and the severity of the hemorrhage in patients receiving heparin or enoxaparin in combination with clop...

background: hemorrhagic transformation (ht) of ischemic stroke (is) is a detrimental complication. this study investigated the association between serum ferritin level and ht in patients with massive is of middle cerebral artery.   methods: thirty patients with massive is of middle cerebral artery were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. they were divided into two groups based on the ser...

Background: Among different mechanisms, oxidative stress has a possible role in neural injury in cerebrovascular events. Objectives: Assessment the oxidants-antioxidants imbalance in ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Materials and Methods: Serum level of malondialdehyde, the main marker of lipid peroxidation, and total antioxidant capacity were measured in a group of 48 stroke patients consis...

background and aims: crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a fatal viral disease that occurs in approximately 30 countries. it has the most extensive geographic range among the tick-borne viruses that affect human health. cchf viruses have a tripartite rna genome consisting of large (l), medium (m) and small (s) segments. this study was undertaken to determine the genetic relationship of cc...

conclusions our results showed that the study population perceived a high likelihood of cchf risk. improving public knowledge and awareness could result in a more realistic assessment of cchf risk, hence better compliance with taking precaution measures to tackle the disease. results approximately 70% of the respondents reported the cchf risk to be 'high'. factors independently associated with ...

background crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a tick-borne disease caused by arbovirus which can be transmitted to human by several routes. tick bite and living in a rural area have been the most common factors for inception of cchf in adults and children in studies reported from iran. objectives this study was conducted to detect the disease acquisition routes among children with confir...
