Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Although inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) may be a promising treatment for newborn infants with severe respiratory failure, the results from 3 previous small trials were inconclusive. METHODS: Infants of <34 weeks' gestation, <28 days old, and with severe respiratory failure requiring ventilatory support were randomized to receive or not receive iNO. The study was not blinded. more...

This study described 10 cases of pre-transplant bilateral native nephrectomy for medically refractory hypertension
Abstract:
Hypertension arising from retained native kidneys can compromise both the patient and graft survival. Bilateral nephrectomy should be considered in a select group of patients, whom have refractory hypertension, prior to renal transplantation. Between January 1991 and July 1998 we performed 10 bilateral nephrectomies where hypertension was the indication. The mean age was 23 yrs (range more...

This case report discusses the authors experience with ultrasound (US)-guided aspiration and injection of a congenital splenic cyst
Abstract:
Congenital splenic cysts are a rare entity. They are more frequent in children and young adults. They are true cysts, lined by epithelium with a typical trabeculation. Aspiration and injection with antibiotics (minocycline-tetracycline) or pure alcohol has been reported sparsely with variable results. The purpose of this case study is to report our experience with ultrasound (US)-guided more...
