Edema severity

Nitrogen tetroxide is one of the most insidious gases in terms of human toxicity. Inflammation of the lungs may cause only slight pain or pass unnoticed, but the resulting edema several days later may cause death. lOOppm is dangerous for even a short exposure, and 200 ppm may be fatal (Ref 25).

P. falciparum malaria is a life-threatening emergency. Complications include hypoglycemia, acute renal failure, pulmonary edema, severe anemia (high parasitism), thrombocytopenia, heart failure, cerebral congestion, seizures, coma, and adult respiratory distress syndrome. 

Pulmonary edema - Severe pulmonary edema has occurred in patients who appeared to be euvolemic. The pathogenesis of pulmonary edema may involve some or all of the following Volume overload increased pulmonary vascular permeability reduced left ventricular compliance/contractility. 

Contraindications Hypersensitivity to any component in the preparation, well-established anuria, severe dehydration, frank or impending acute pulmonary edema, severe cardiac decompensation... 

Typical side effects are constitutional in nature, including a flu-like syndrome within 6 hours after dosing in more than 30% of patients that tends to resolve upon continued administration. Other potential adverse effects include thrombocytopenia, granulocytopenia, elevation in serum aminotransferase levels, induction of autoantibodies, nausea, fatigue, headache, arthralgias, rash, alopecia, anorexia, hypotension, and edema. Severe neuropsychiatric side effects may occur. Absolute contraindications to therapy are psychosis, severe depression, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, symptomatic heart disease, decompensated cirrhosis, uncontrolled seizures, and a history of organ transplantation (other than liver). Alfa interferons are abortifacient in primates and should not be administered in pregnancy. 

Respiratory Effects. Case reports of humans who died after ingesting chromium(VI) compounds have described respiratory effects as part of the sequelae leading to death. A 22-month-old boy who ingested an unknown amount of sodium dichromate died of cardiopulmonary arrest. Autopsy revealed pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, severe bronchitis, and acute bronchopneumonia (Ellis et al. 1982). Autopsy of a 17-year-old male who committed suicide by ingesting 29 mg chromium(VI)/kg as potassium dichromate revealed congested lungs with blood-tinged bilateral pleural effusions (Clochesy 1984 Iserson et al. 1983). Respiratory effects were not reported at nonlethal doses. 

Immediate eye pain and blepharospasm result from lewisite exposure, followed by conjunctival and lid edema. Severe exposures can produce necrotic injuries of the iris with depigmentation, hypopion, and synechia development. In contrast, very low levels may only involve the conjunctivae (McManus and Huebner, 2005). The eye lesions produced by lewisite are particularly serious blindness will follow contamination of the eye with liquid lewisite unless decontamination is prompt.

Transfusion-related acute lung injury is an infrequent but life-threatening complication, clinically indistinguishable from adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It can occur after the administration of whole blood, erythrocytes, fresh frozen plasma, or cryoprecipitate, all of which contain variable amounts of plasma. In transfusion-related acute lung injury the symptoms of ARDS (dyspnea, pulmonary edema, severe hypoxia, fever, and hypotension) occur within 1-6 hours from the start of transfusion and usually subside within 1-4 days (44). These symptoms can vary from mild to severe and they lead to death in 5-10% of cases. The reaction may be more frequent than reported because confounding factors can mask the symptoms (45). 

The most common adverse effect of phenol injection is pain during injection, often described as a burning or stinging sensation. It can be associated with edema several hours after injection. The apphcation of ice and the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs often help to minimize the discomfort. In some studies, lidocaine mixed with phenol has been used to help diminish the local pain response associated with injection (21). 

The oral LD50 value for rat is 5.9 g kg whereas the LC50 is 60 000 ppm (30 min exposure). Acute exposures to butanal vapors induce inflammation of the alveolar and bronchial regions of the lung, with death due to pulmonary edema. Severe irritation of... 

Survivors of the initial poisoning or from poisonings from as little as 10-15 ml of the concentrate often develop a progressive pulmonary fibrosis associated with dyspnea and pulmonary edema several days or weeks after exposure. As a result, death is due to asphyxia. 

As described above, VEGF enhances vascular permeability and thereby promotes macular edema. Several studies have looked or are currently looking for ways to inhibit VEGF.
