The clinical manifestations and natural history of acute aortic intramural hemorrhage are not well characterized. Therefore, we have evaluated the differences in the clinical features and prognosis between acute intramural hemorrhage and acute classic aortic dissection. One hundred two consecutive patients with acute aortic syndrome were diagnosed between November 1994 and May 1999. The clinica...

We report a case of massive pulmonary hemorrhage which emerged in the course of polyarteritis nodosa (PN). Pulmonary hemorrhage was the major manifestation which determined the mortality of this patient, though severe renal failure concurrently developed. The diagnosis of PN should be considered in all cases of pulmonary hemorrhage coexisting with renal failure. As pulmonary hemorrhage can be l...

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of severe maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide which leads to massive blood loss. Coagulation abnormalities in response trauma or infection are latent that might aggravate PPH.

BACKGROUND The treatment of patients with peripartum hemorrhage is unfortunately characterized by inadequate treatment that does not adhere to standard therapeutic measures. AIM Assessment of different management strategies among patients with severe hemorrhage, particularly the ones with "near-miss" maternal morbidity and mortality to establish clinically useful guidelines for the prevention...

BACKGROUND Uncontrolled hemorrhage is responsible for over 50% of all trauma-related deaths within the first 48 hours after admission. Clinical observations together with recent research resulted in an appreciation of the central role of coagulopathy in acute trauma care. A synopsis is presented of different retrospective analyses based upon datasets from severe multiply injured patients derive...

The effects of moderate and severe hemorrhage on the cardiac output and its distribution have been studied in the rat. In moderate hemorrrhage, cerebral and adrenal blood floware well maintained through localized vasodilatation while most other organs show increased vascular resistance and diminished blood flow. After severe hemorrhage, despite further changes in territorial resistances, the bl...

conclusions intraventricular hemorrhage followed by comatose state is a rare finding of the castor bean seed ingestion. the patient’s condition improved dramatically after ffp transfusion. introduction castor bean seed is used to control some medical conditions including diabetes mellitus due to popular belief in its effectiveness. however it may cause severe poisoning in humans and animals and...

Devices to produce experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can be implanted in animals. After SAH is produced by the puncture of a middle cerebral artery (MCA) in awake cats, neurologic deficits develop that are not as severe as those caused by MCA occlusion. Biphasic increases of epidural pressure occur and are related to the extent and distribution of the hemorrhage. Ischemic changes are m...

OBJECTIVES Postcoital bleeding is an uncommon cause of gynecologic hemorrhage; however, it can be severe in a majority of cases necessitating surgical management. METHODS We report a case of severe postcoital bleeding in a young woman requiring blood transfusion. RESULTS Hemostasis was achieved using subselective embolization of cervical artery by metallic coils. CONCLUSION Our case demon...
