Schistosomiasis-associated pulmonary hypertension: pulmonary vascular disease: the global perspective.
Inflammation is likely a critical underlying etiology in many forms of severe pulmonary hypertension (PH), and schistosomiasis-associated PH, one of the most common causes of PH worldwide, is likely driven by the host response to parasite antigens. More than 200 million people are infected with schistosomiasis, the third most common parasitic disease, and approximately 1% of those chronically i...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension secondary to increased pulmonary vascular resistance
(PVR) is one of the most important determinants of operative morbidity and mortality as well as long-term survival after repair of a left-to-right shunt. We read with interest the paper of Talwar et al. [1] about the use of a unidirectional valved patch (UVP) for ventricular septal defect (VSD) correction in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. The reported result looks very optimistic....

reader for the subsequent complex terrain. The book includes chapters which catalogue topics such as efferent-afferent neuronal circuitry (M. Palkovitz and L. Zaborszky), limbic and brainstem connections (J. Sutin and R. McBride), and Golgi analysis of the major cell types in the hypothalamus (O. Millhouse). It includes a phylogenetic description of the hypothalamic monoamine and acetylcholines...
متن کاملEnhanced inflammatory cell profiles in schistosomiasis-induced pulmonary vascular remodeling
Schistosomiasis (bilharzia) is a neglected parasitic disease caused by trematode flatworms of the genus Schistosoma which affects over 240 million people worldwide. It is characterized by the formation of inflammatory granulomas around deposited parasite eggs. Recent studies have revealed that immune and inflammatory responses play a crucial role in pathogenesis of schistosomiasis. The aim of t...
متن کاملTreatment of pulmonary hypertension secondary to connective tissue diseases.
Pulmonary hypertension has been identified as one of the well known life threatening complications of connective tissue diseases. In patients with connective tissue diseases pulmonary hypertension occurs with little or no evidence of parenchymal lung disease. As in primary pulmonary hypertension, the pathophysiology is unknown but the clinical course and pathological findings are similar. Scler...
