Selective stimulation of inhibitory A1 and facilitatory A2a adenosine receptor subtypes located in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) powerfully inhibits cardiopulmonary chemoreflex (CCR) control of regional sympathetic outputs via different mechanisms: direct inhibition of glutamate release and facilitation of an inhibitory neurotransmitter release, respectively. However, it remains unkno...

INTRODUCTION Vitreous or retinal hemorrhage occurring in association with subarachnoid hemorrhage is known as Terson's syndrome. In Terson's syndrome, intracranial hemorrhages are followed by intraocular hemorrhage, classically in the subhyaloid space, but may also include subretinal, retinal, preretinal, and vitreal collections. Vitreous hemorrhage recovery is usually spontaneous in six to 12 ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracerebral hematoma may complicate treatment of acute myocardial infarction in patients treated with fibrinolytic agents. We studied the clinical presentation and computed tomographic characteristics. METHODS We studied eight patients with lobar intracerebral hematomas after fibrinolytic treatment of acute coronary occlusion. All patients had electrocardiographic and...

BACKGROUND HELLP syndrome (a combination of hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet count) is a severe variant of preeclampsia that generally occurs before delivery but can occur post partum. This syndrome is more common than eclampsia and frequently leads to devastating neurological consequences such as intracerebral hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE Although mentioned in the obstetric...

BACKGROUND Severe hemorrhage is associated with the disruption of the endothelial glycocalyx (EG), a key component of the endothelium. The effects of blood components on the EG are unknown. The present study furthers our investigations into the effects of resuscitation with blood products on the skeletal muscle microcirculation of hemorrhaged rats, focusing on packed red blood cells (PRBCs) or ...

Besides its severe neurological injuries, spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) commonly causes cardiac complications. These complications could include three different aspects of cardiac diseases, that is, electrocardiographic abnormalities, myocardial injuries, and left ventricular dysfunction. These complications not only may lead to misdiagnosis of SAH as myocardial infarction, but also...

Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the most common obstetric emergencies and largest contributor to maternal mortality in world, with uterine atony being cause. A 38-year-old woman came Karitas Hospital complaining vaginal bleeding after giving birth three hours ago. On examination, patient was somnolent signs shock. Anemic conjunctiva, pale lips, weak contractions uterus, active bleeding. The lab...

Primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) plays a major role in maternal mortality and morbidity like severe anemia, blood transfusion requirement, hospital stay infection. Tranexamic acid is now recommended treatment of PPH, yet its prophylactic use before delivery still not recommended.

background: postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of severe maternal morbidity and death. a prompt management of uterine artery embolization (uae) is important for a good outcome. uae is generally accepted to be a safe and reliable procedure. objective: to estimate critical patient characteristics influencing the success of uae for the treatment of emergent primary postpartum hemorrhage. m...

splenic artery aneurysm (saa) is a rare and potentially life-threatening clinical entity that carries a risk of rupture and peritoneal hemorrhage. when ruptured, it typically manifests as abdominal pain with hemodynamic instability. this is a report about a 29-year-old male admitted for evaluation of recent-onset ascites following the spontaneous resolution of a transient episode of severe epig...
