CASE REPORTS Hormonal and Hemodynamic Profile

چکیده
ANAPHYLACTIC REACTIONS have been described frequently in the medical literature." 2 It has been established, largely by studies with in vitro models, that anaphylaxis is caused by an IGE-mediated degranulation of tissue mast cells and basophils, with discharge of histamine, prostaglandins and other substances into the surrounding circulation. The profile of hemodynamic and biochemical change in such reactions, however, has not been fully documented in man, particularly as to whether catecholamines are released in response to increases in plasma histamine levels. A recent experience in which a patient sustained an anaphylactic reaction to the muscle relaxant succinylcholine provided an opportunity to correlate changes in hemodynamics with alterations in plasma histamine and catecholamine levels during anaphylaxis. Our findings suggest that, in addition to the direct effects of histamine on the cardiovascular system, the induced sympathoadrenal response may be an important component of the pathophysiology of anaphylaxis.

Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation Surgery in a Pregnant Woman: A Case Report
Background and purpose: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are lung lesions that affect most of the periphery of the lower lobes, and are manifested by dyspnea, hemoptysis, and hemothorax. Pregnancy is one of the conditions in which these malformations appear due to hemodynamic changes and hormonal factors such as increased levels of estrogen. This paper presents the case of a pregna...
متن کاملStudy on follicular characteristics, hormonal and biochemical profile in norgestomet+PMSG treated acyclic buffaloes
This research was conducted to study the follicular dynamics, hormonal, biochemical profile and fertility response in acyclic and norgestomet+PMSG treated acyclic buffaloes in summer. The study animals were divided into two groups: group I [control (n=8): no treatment] and II [treatment group (n=15)]. In group II, seven animals were used for follicular biochemical and hormonal profile and eight...
متن کاملPrimary Vulval Rhabdoid Tumor in an Adult: A Case Report, Immunohistochemical Profile and Literature Review
We report a rare case of primary vulval rhabdoid tumor in an adult. The diagnosis was confirmed using the recently emerging INI1/BAF47 immunostain. We also demonstrate the expression of ER and PR hormonal receptors by the tumor cells.
متن کاملHormonal and hemodynamic profile of an anaphylactic reaction in man.
A 28-year-old female undergoing elective total hip replacement experienced an anaphylactic reaction to succinylcholine. Hemodynamics, plasma histamine and catecholamines were measured. The tachycardia experienced during the reaction appeared to be secondary to the sympathoadrenal response rather than a direct chronotropic effect of histamine.
متن کاملDetection of Y Chromosome Microdeletions and Hormonal Profile Analysis of Infertile Men undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technologies
Objective Y chromosome deletions (YCDs) in azoospermia factor (AZF) region are associated with abnormal spermatogenesis and may lead to azoospermia or severe oligozoospermia. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and testicular sperm extraction (TESE) are commonly required for infertility management of patients carrying YCDs. The aim of this study w...
