Pericardium

Mansonellaperstans adult worms five encysted in various peritoneal tissues (eg, pericardium, pleura, and peritoneum). Af. perstans microfilariae are not affected by diethylcarbama2ine but mebenda2ole has been successful in treating Af. perstans filariasis (33).

Rheumatoid arthritis represents a chronic inflammatory disease of the joints. About 1% of the population in Germany suffers from this disease. Primarily the synovial membranes of the jounts are affected, however, the disease can also reach other organs such as the pleura, pericardium organ and skin blood vessels. The inflamed... 

An estrogen dependent disorder characterized by the presence of uterine tissue at sites other than the uterus such as the peritoneum, ovaries and rectovaginal and rarely in the pericardium, pleura and brain. 

OCDD caused embryotoxicity but was not teratogenic at 500 mg/ kg/day. OCDD and 2,7-DCDD caused neither teratogenicity nor embryotoxicity at 100 mg/kg/day. Khera and Ruddick (7) reported that the administration of 2 mg 2,7-DCDD/kg/day was associated with microscopic myocardial and pericardial lesions in rat fetuses. However, examination of sections of myocardium and pericardium from fetuses of dams treated with 100 mg doses in this study revealed no morphological differences from controls. 

Heart failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by a history of specific signs and symptoms related to congestion and hypoperfusion. As HF can occur in the presence or absence of fluid overload, the term heart failure is preferred over the former term congestive heart failure. Heart failure results from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood.1 Many disorders such as those of the pericardium, epicardium, endocardium, or great vessels may lead to HF, but most patients develop symptoms due to impairment in left ventricular (LV) myocardial function. 

The transcellular fluid includes the viscous components of the peritoneum, pleural space, and pericardium, as well as the cerebrospinal fluid, joint space fluid, and the gastrointestinal (GI) digestive juices. Although the transcellular fluid normally accounts for about 1% of TBW, this amount can increase significantly during various illnesses favoring fluid collection in one of these spaces (e.g., pleural effusions or ascites in the peritoneum). The accumulation of fluid in the transcellular space is often referred to as third spacing. To review the calculations of the body fluid compartments in a representative patient, see Patient Encounter 1. 

The heart is located in the center of the thoracic cavity. It sits directly above the muscles of the diaphragm, which separates the thorax from the abdomen, and lies beneath the sternum between the two lungs. The heart is enclosed and anchored in place by a double-walled fibrous sac referred to as the pericardium. The membranes of the pericardium produce a small amount of pericardial fluid that minimizes friction produced by the movement of the heart when it beats. To function mechanically as a pump, the heart must have ... 

PHB has been claimed to have piezo-electric properties similar to those of natural bone, giving it potential as biodegradable fixative plates that could actually stimulate bone formation and consequently promote the healing of the patient [117]. Furthermore, PHB has been used to produce non-woven patches for pericardium repair following open-heart surgery. 

Postmortem findings include edema in the periorbital tissue, neck muscles, ligamentum nuchae, intermuscular and lungs hemorrhage of the tongue, intestinal serosa, kidneys, and pericardium and general subcutaneous edema and hemorrhage. 

Embryos >4000 Severe edema of the pericardium and eye, gut miscoiling, head and mouth malformations. At high sublethal concentrations, severe skeletal kinking, micropthalamia, and microencephaly 83... 

The echocardiogram is the single most useful evaluation procedure because it can identify abnormalities of the pericardium, myocardium, or heart values and quantify the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to determine if systolic or diastolic dysfunction is present. 

Extraluminal infection and/or abscess formation can occur at any site after any of the other syndromes or may be the primary presentation. Metastatic infections have been reported to involve bone, cysts, heart, kidney, liver, lungs, pericardium, spleen, and tumors. 

Cresols are rapidly absorbed through the skin, producing systemic effects. About 20ml of a 90% cresol solution accidentally poured over an infant s head caused chemical burns, cyanosis, unconsciousness, and death within 4 hours. Histopathologic examination showed hepatic necrosis, cerebral edema, acute tubular necrosis of the kidneys, and hemorrhagic effusions from the peritoneum, pleura, and pericardium. The blood contained 12 mg cresol/lOOdl.

Mesothelioma A minor of the mesothelium of the pleura, pericardium or peritoneum, arising as a result of the presence of asbestos bodies. A locally malignant spreading tumor diagnostic of exposure to asbestos. 

This method is used to treat blood stagnation. It is carried out by using pungent, aromatic herbs that enter the Heart, Pericardium, Liver and Gall Bladder meridians. These ingredients can directly stimulate blood circulation. To enhance their effect, they are combined with herbs that activate the Qi. 

Gou Teng is sweet and slightly cold, and enters the Liver and Pericardium meridians. It can cool the liver, reduce the fire and relax the tendons. It is used in the condition where the Liver-heat stirs the wind so that patients suffer from dizziness, headache and irritability, and even have convulsions. As its function is not very strong, it is often used in combination with other herbs. 

Chuan Xiong is pungent and warm, and enters the Liver, Gall Bladder and Pericardium meridians. It has an intense dispersing action, can stimulate the blood and Qi, open up the obstruction and stop pain. It can be used as deputy to stimulate the Heart-Yang and relieve chest pain due to cold and blood obstruction. 

Herbs that are pungent, enter the Heart, Pericardium, Liver and Gall Bladder meridians, and can promote the Qi movement and blood circulation are used. 

Gou Teng is sweet and cold, and enters the Liver and Pericardium meridians. It has a strong function of clearing and reducing the Liver-heat, whether or not it is excess heat or empty-heat, and thus can calm the wind. It is particularly used to treat dizziness, headache, tinnitus, irritability, and red and irritated eyes. Because it enters the Pericardium meridian, it is also very effective for cooling the Heart, relaxing the tendons and calming the mind. 

Zi Cao is salty, sweet and cold, and enters the Heart and Liver meridians Qian Cao Gen is bitter and cold, and enters the Liver and Pericardium meridians. These two herbs enter the blood and cool the blood. At the same time, they can reduce congealed blood. Qian Cao Gen can also stop bleeding. They are particularly selected in the condition when the...
