BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Secondary brain injury and edema formation contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The pathogenesis of this process is poorly understood. We sought to characterize alterations in perilesional blood flow that occur during the acute phase of ICH and to determine whether progressive enlargement of edema surrounding ICH is rel...

In marine mammals, nematode-inflicted pathological lesions combined with other pathogens and factors (i.e., pollution, climate change, domoic acid poisoning events, seasonal El Nino starvation events) negatively impact pinnipeds’ health may cause mortality. Five California sea lions ( Zalophus californianus )—a female pup, three male yearlings, an adult female—suffered mortalities during rehabi...

We report a case of a 65-year-old woman with symptoms of blurred vision and ocular irritation a few hours after accidental contact of the right eye with Asclepias physocarpa milky latex. Observation showed a diffuse conjunctival hyperemia and stromal corneal edema with Descemet's membrane folds. Recovery was fast and apparently complete in less than one month. However, specular microscopy at 6-...

Fibrosing mediastinitis is underdiagnosed because of the nonspecific character of the presenting symptoms. The endobronchial findings obtained via flexible bronchoscopy are not defined in the literature. We describe 3 cases of fibrosing mediastinitis, most likely caused by histoplasmosis. All 3 patients presented with hemoptysis and were found to have tracheobronchial concentric narrowing, seve...

Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe drug eruption that presents with fever, along erythema, blisters, and erosion on the skin, oral cavity, eye conjunctiva vulvar mucosa. Here we report case of SJS without skin lesions in an 81-year-old man who underwent tooth extraction at our department due to periodontitis. He developed fever swelling eyelids lips during night visited because symptoms...

purpose : among the three forms of anthrax in human (cutaneous, inhalational, and gastrointestinal), cutaneous anthrax is the most common form with prevalence of 95%. the cutaneous anthrax is a rare cause of periorbital (preseptal) cellulitis that may remained without correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. this may result in severe local complications such as blindness and airway obstruct...

A wide variety of neurological syndromes have been described following hymenoptera sting like encephalopathy, myeloradiculopathy, optic neuropathy, seizures, parkinsonism, exacerbation of multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, encephalomyelopolyradiculoneuritis and obsessive compulsive behaviour. While petechial haemorrhages, cerebral edema, meningeal hyperemia and intraventricular haemorrhage ...

• In the intact animal or man, pulmonary engorgement and edema are generally assessed on clinical and radiographic grounds. In the present study, pulmonary engorgement or a combination of pulmonary engorgement and edema was produced experimentally in anesthetized dogs and an attempt was made to distinguish between the two categories on the basis of measurements of the pulmonary blood volume, th...

A 68-year-old woman with a history of multiple myeloma presented to the clinic with pain and vision loss in her right eye. Proptosis was observed in her right eye and eye movements were restricted in all directions. Best corrected visual acuity was 3/10 in her right eye. On biomicroscopic examination, hyperemia and subconjunctival hemorrhage were present. Fundus examination of the right eye rev...
