Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a condition caused by abnormally increased pressure within the abdomen. Fewer than 1 million cases per year (India). Symptoms include a bloated abdomen, difficulty breathing or decreased urination. Rapid management is very important to prevent death. In this case, a thirty one year-old female without a similar history in the family, is presented with this condition on the second day after delivery. This case report study has been presented for the consideration of rare ACS in pregnant patients.
Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a rapidly progressive, often fatal infection that occurs in patients who are severely immunocompromised. Though IA remains rare, new reports shows that the illness is becoming more prevalent. Faster detection of infectious agent and use of right antifungal is very necessary to prevent further complications. In this case, a forty four year-old male with k/c/o CKD-s/p renal allograft recipient complained of left sided facial and ear pain during follow up. This case report study has been presented for the consideration of the growing prevalence of this condition in renal transplant patients.
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls as the heart pumps out blood, and high blood pressure, also called hypertension, is an increase in the amount of force that blood places on blood vessels as it moves through the body. Factors that can increase this force include higher blood volume due to extra fluid in the blood and blood vessels that are narrow, stiff, or clogged(1).
High blood pressure can damage blood vessels in the kidneys, reducing their ability to work properly. When the force of blood flow is high, blood vessels stretch so blood flows more easily. Eventually, this stretching scars and weakens blood vessels throughout the body, including those in the kidneys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
