Idiopathic cyclic edema is a type of generalized edema that mainly affects women. Diagnosis is made by the patient's clinical history and an evaluation of the accumulation of weight during the day. The objective of this study is to report the clinical control of lymphedema associated with idiopathic cyclic edema using calcium dobesilate. A 55-year-old female patient reported generalized edema f...

Background Severe vulvar edema is a rare entity occurring with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. This edema can be incapacitating; causing pain and limited patient mobility. With the usual conservative approach, vulvar edema can take several days to resolve. Aim The aim of this case report is to describe the use of local myrrh for the management of severe vulvar edema associated with ovarian...

Thrombosis-related edema and lymphedema are two principal types of lower extremity edema results from radiotherapy alone or chemoradiotherapy for patients with cervical cancer. To characterize differences between them, a retrospective study was performed. We collected data including age, race, body weight, FIGO stage, histology type, platelet count, haemoglobin, time of definitely diagnosis, th...

Edema is defi ned as abnormal accumulation of fl uid in the interstitium. Diff erential diagnosis of generalized edema is very broad. Most often, renal and cardiac causes lead to generalized edema. The potential gastrointestinal causes of edema are liver failure and protein losing enteropathy including celiac disease and protein malnutrition. Generalized edema is rarely an initial manifestation...

Pulmonary edema is a common problem in dogs and cats in both the emergency room and the intensive care unit. A good understanding of the physiology of fluid flow through the lungs is of paramount importance for developing techniques for rational patient management. The normal lung consists of a network of capillaries lined with endothelial cells, surrounding airspaces lined with alveolar epithe...

Aim. Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (CCB) are widely preferred for the treatment of hypertension for their efficacy, metabolic neutrality and low side effect profile. However pedal edema formation limits their usage. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the incidence of pedal edema formation with a different dihydropyridine CCB in hypertensive patients who developed pedal edema...

We determined the effects of ibuprofen and methimazole on the formation of second- degree burn edema. Two small burns were produced on the back of rats. Ten minutes prior to burn, Evans blue ( EB) dye was injected through a femoral vein catheter. All animals were extravasation of evans blue. Ten groups of rats were studied. Immediately after induction of burns, test drugs were administered intr...
