Pituitary coma with continuing menstruation.

Pituitary coma with continuing menstruation.

A case of pituitary coma with continuing menstruation is presented. This association is extremely rare, but a history of recent menstrual periods does not exclude advanced hypopituitarism from the differential diagnosis of severe hyponatraemia.

Meningism and Pituitary Coma.

A survival case of myxedema coma of pituitary origin.

A successfully treated patient with myxedema coma of pituitary origin is reported. A forty-three year old woman, having a typical history of Sheehan's syndrome, was precipitated into the state of shock and coma. The coma was characterized with clinical features of myxedema coma, such as hypothermia, bradycardia and shallow respiration. The patient recovered from shock after intravenous administ...

Recurring spontaneous pneumothorax concomitant with menstruation.

Recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax in association with menstruation was first noted by Maurer, Schaal, and Mendez in 1958. These authors described a 35-year-old woman who had 15 proven episodes of right spontaneous pneumothorax between November 1952 and March 1954. Every episode had come on during the period of menstruation. At thoracotomy the lung parenchyma looked normal and there was no obvi...

Instance Matching with COMA++

Schema matching is the process of identifying semantic correspondences between schemas. COMA++ is a matching prototype which uses several characteristics of schemas to determine similarities between them, for example the names and data types of the schema elements and structural information. In this paper we propose two instance-based matchers for COMA++ to gain a further quality improvement. T...
