  Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts are widely used to facilitateaccess for haemodialysis. They may present with complicationsincluding infection and thrombosis. However, localised lymphomaassociated with a PTFE graft has not been previously described.Here we present the case of a patient with B-cell lymphoma arisingaround a PTFE graft.   A 77-year-old Italian woman with end-stage renal failure ofunknown origin had been on haemodialysis since 1995.

  We describe the case of a renal transplant recipient, who sufferedfrom acute renal dysfunction, in whom renal biopsy showed findingsconsistent with acute cellular rejection. He was treated withpulsed steroid therapy. After further investigations, a diagnosisother than rejection was made, which highlights an increasinglyimportant clinical problem in the course of renal transplantation.   A 47-year-old man of Pakistani origin underwent live-unrelatedrenal transplantation (1, 2, 1 mismatch) after reaching end-stagerenal failure. His immunosuppression regime consisted of tacrolimus,mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and prednisolone. Following an uneventful recovery from  相似文献

Atrial fibrillation

The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. Key points
  • Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest cardiacarrhythmia; its incidence increases with age.
  • Diabetes mellitus,hypertension and ventricular hypertrophy are commonly associatedwith non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
  • Primary aims of managementof AF are conversion to sinus rhythm, maintenance of sinus rhythmand prevention of thromboembolic complications.
  • In elderlypatients who are asymptomatic, adequate rate control of AF appearsto offer the same benefits as rhythm control.
  • Chronic AF carriesa high risk of ischaemic stroke from thromboembolism; all patientsat risk must receive adequate anticoagulation.
  • Anticoagulationshould be continued in patients with risk factors despite successfulconversion to sinus rhythm.
  Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest cardiac arrhythmia.The incidence increases with age and affects 5% of UK populationabove the age of 65 yr and 10% above 75 yr.1 2 In the UnitedStates, AF accounts for more than 35% of all admissions forcardiac arrhythmias.3 Men are . . .

Anaesthesia for lower limb revascularization     
Tovey  Gail; Thompson  Jonathan P 《CEACCP》2005,5(3):89-92
The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. Key points Surgery for lower limb revascularization is associatedwith a high risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality. Preoperativecardiac risk assessment is important and risk-reducing measuresshould be started appropriately. Perioperative ß-blockadedecreases perioperative cardiac complications in the highestrisk patients. The quality of anaesthetic practice rather thanspecific technique per se has the most important influence onpatient outcome. Acute limb ischaemia is an emergency thatprecludes prolonged preoperative cardiac evaluation.  
  Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) is defined as chronic ischaemicrest pain, ulcers or gangrene attributable to objectively provenarterial occlusive disease. Peripheral vascular disease (PVD)is a marker for severe multi-system atherosclerosis and patientswith critical limb ischaemia presenting for lower limb revascularizationpresent a significant challenge to the anaesthetist. They areusually elderly with a high prevalence of hypertension, diabetesmellitus, cerebrovascular and renal vascular disease, and smoking-relatedrespiratory disease. Only 8% of patients with PVD . . . [Full Text of this Article]Treatment strategies       MonitoringGeneral anaesthesiaRegional anaesthesia      相似文献

  The transmission of infection from donor to recipient in solidorgan transplantation can result in loss of the allograft andin severe cases, death of the recipient. The occurrence of denguevirus infection in an immunocompromised renal transplant patientcan have many detrimental effects, the most life-threateningof these is development of dengue shock syndrome.

Massive haemorrhage in pregnancy     
Banks  Amelia; Norris  Andrew 《CEACCP》2005,5(6):195-198
The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. Key points Massive haemorrhage remains a significant causeof maternal mortality and morbidity. Clear and timely communicationbetween surgical, anaesthetic and haematology services is vitalto ensure optimal maternal and fetal outcome. Signs of hypovolaemiaoccur relatively late because of physiological changes in pregnancy. Theextent of intravascular volume deficit is not reflected by visualestimates of vaginal bleeding. The decision to perform a hysterectomyshould be made when other methods of haemostasis have failedand not delayed until control of maternal haemostasis and cardiovascularstability has been lost.   Massive haemorrhage is a major cause of maternal mortality.Life-threatening haemorrhage may occur as frequently as 6.7per 1000 deliveries.1 This equates to 1400 cases yr –1in the UK or 33.5 yr –1 in an obstetric unit with 5000deliveries annually. Pregnancy-related conditions and complicationsaccount for 0.8% of intensive care admissions; 35% of thesearise from massive haemorrhage.1 2 Management of massive . . . [Full Text of this Article]

We report a rare cause of such an association in a renal transplantwoman.   A 24-year-old woman was referred to our unit for end-stage renalfailure secondary to reflux nephropathy.

  Impaired control of the complement system activation due tomutations in complement factor H (CFH) has been described intwo apparently unrelated human diseases, membranoproliferativeglomerulonephitis type II (MPGN2) and non-Shiga toxin-associatedhaemolytic uraemic syndrome (non-Stx-HUS). Mouse models of thesediseases have been developed by Pickering et al., by knocking-outCfh gene (MPGN2) and by subsequently transferring a mutatedCfh gene in the Cfh–/– background (non-Stx-HUS).The data obtained from the two models provided precious informationto clarify the mechanisms that cause the disparate phenotypesunderlying CFH genetic defect.   MPGN2 is a rare cause of chronic nephritis characterized bythe presence of dense deposits within the glomerular basementmembrane (GBM), capillary wall thickening, mesangial cell proliferationand glomerular fibrosis [1,2].   Non-Shiga toxin-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome (non-Stx-HUS)is a rare disease with manifestations of haemolytic anaemia,thrombocytopenia and renal failure.

  Metabolic acidosis is a common acid–base disorder in criticallyill patients. Elucidation of the cause usually commences withthe calculation of the anion gap. Increased anion gap metabolicacidosis is commonly due to lactic acidosis, renal failure,ketoacidosis as well as a multitude of drugs including toxicalcohols. Pyroglutamic acidosis (5-oxoprolinuria) is a rarecause of increased anion gap acidosis and has not previouslybeen reported in a renal transplant patient.   A 57-year-old married female presented to the hospital witha two day history of lethargy, anorexia and increasing dyspnoea.Her past medical history was extensive. Four years ago she hada renal transplant for medullary sponge kidneys which was failingdespite ongoing immunosuppression. Her baseline creatinine was0.22 mmol/l  相似文献

  • Complications of blood transfusion are rare but canbe life-threatening.
  • Since 2005, it has been a legal requirementthat all serious adverse reactions attributable to the safetyor quality of blood are reported.
  • Most reported complicationsare because of transfusion of mismatched blood products andare avoidable through clinical vigilance.
  • Massive blood transfusionsresult in abnormalities of coagulation status, serum biochemistry,acid–base balance and temperature homeostasis.
  • Transfusion-relatedacute lung injury is the most common cause of major morbidityand death after transfusion.
  The serious hazards of transfusion (SHOT) scheme has collecteddata on significant adverse events resulting from transfusionof blood components from volunteer organizations since 1996.However, after the implementation of the European Union Directiveon Blood Safety and Quality in 2005, it is now a requirementthat all ‘Blood Establishments and Hospital Blood Banksreport to the Secretary of State for Health all serious adversereactions . . .
