No matter in which clinical field you will be working in the future, you will be confronted with cases of acute renal failure. In this acute emergency illness, various pathomechanisms come together and lead to a principally reversible decrease in renal function, often involving disbalances of water and electrolytes. The different types of acute renal failure have to be understood well in order ...

The pharmacokinetics of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) administered intravenously has been investigated in a group of five patients with chronic renal failure who were dialysis-dependent. The half-life of circulating erythropoietin decreased from 7.9±OA hr (mean ±SO) at the beginning of treatment to 6.2±O.6 hr after 6 weeks and 5A±O.9 hr after 4 months of treatment. In spite of t...

the optimal treatment method for right ventricular failure after valve surgery complicated by a low cardiac output has not been determined, although several case reports have been published on patients with ventricular failure and arrhythmia who were bridged to cardiac transplantation using biventricular or left ventricular assist devices. this case series illustrates successful circulatory sup...

heart failure is common in patients with chronic renal disease, either as a complication of renal failure or from shared risk factors, or is the major cause of death in patients on dialysis. at present, end stage renal disease (esrd) patients who have systolic heart failure are considered high-risk for surgery; and nephrologists and cardiologists are reluctant to refer these patients for kidney...

Introduction: Root remediation when the initial treatment fails is the most basic treatment before any other surgical procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting the success and failure of endodontic treatment in a period of 6-24 months.Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional analytical study was performed during 1996-94 with the participation of 76 patients, 19 (2...
