Mesenteric infarction due to acute insufficiency of the splanchnic blood flow was designated by direct visualization during emergent surgery.
Five patients developed renal insufficiency (four with acute renal insufficiency and one with a worsening of baseline chronic renal insufficiency) at the time of nephrolithiasis.
We have to mention here that after a two-month follow-up, we can rule out acute renal insufficiencies, but we have to do a longer follow-up to determine any chronic side effects.
The systematic monitoring of 2-hour LC could be used in cases of acute cardiorespiratory insufficiencies to identify high-risk patients who require more aggressive therapy/monitoring.
In ARDS patients, hypoxia is a result of a 'vicious circle' when acute respiratory insufficiency intensifies acute cardiac insufficiency which, in turn, deepens respiratory failure.
In patients with severe cardiac insufficiency, volume overload that might lead to acute cardiac insufficiency and decompensation, should be avoided.
Serious adverse events were reported in three patients in the ∼10 mg/kg group (claw toe, appendicitis, pleurisy) and in three patients in the ∼5 mg/kg group (RA flare, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, acute renal insufficiency, leucopenia, neutropenia and endocarditis (all in the same patient); osteoarthritis and acute cardiopulmonary insufficiency (in one patient); and RA flare).
Albert RK, Martin TR, Lewis SW. Controlled clinical trial of methylprednisolone in patients with chronic bronchitis and acute respiratory insufficiency.
Unexpected acute renal insufficiency occurred in four patients after uncomplicated cardiac surgery; each was taking a fibrate.
The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency and clinical significance of intraamniotic inflammation in patients with acute cervical insufficiency.
The symptoms of Addison disease increase in intensity over time and eventually (after several months) lead to acute adrenal insufficiency, known as adrenal crisis.
