introduction: cerebral vein thrombosis is a rare complication of nephrotic syndrome (ns).we report a known case of ns with hemorrhagic thrombosis. case report: a boy with previous history of ns was admitted with headache and decrease of level of consciousness and his brain images were revealed hemorrhagic thrombosis conclusions: cerebral vein thrombosis must be considered in patients with histo...

During lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxemia, increased intrasplenic fluid efflux contributes to a reduction in plasma volume. We hypothesized that splenic sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA), which increases during endotoxemia, limits intrasplenic fluid efflux. We reasoned that splenic denervation would exaggerate LPS-induced intrasplenic fluid efflux and worsen the hypotension, hemoconce...

Vibrio vulnificus (lactose-positive Vibrio), a recently recognized pathogenic marine species, produced extreme hemoconcentration and death within 3 to 6 h after subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection of 10(8) viable cells into mice; hemotocrit values approached 70% (normal, 45%). About 1 ml of edema fluid accumulated at the site of each subcutaneous injection, and locally increased vascular ...

Systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) is a rare disease characterized by third spacing of plasma into the extravascular compartment, leading to anasarca, hemoconcentration, and hypovolemic shock. It has been rarely associated with lymphomas, and reports usually indicate that it occurs after antineoplastic treatment. We present the case of a patient with ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymp...

Abstrad------------------Hemofiltration during or after cardiopulmonary bypass has proved to be an efficient tool for hemoconcentration. Classically, the hemofilters are supplied by the arterial line and the filtration rate is mainly a function of the perfusion pressure. We have developed a convertible cardiopulmonary bypass system including a double head roller pump for blood cardioplegia appl...
