Atonic primary post partum haemorrhage (PPH) was the most common indication which was seen in 60% of cases. There were two cases of secondary PPH (13.3%) which required hysterectomy. Maternal death was seen in two cases. Conclusion: Obstetric hysterectomy continues to be a life saving ...
Due to the different treatment options, the differentiation between primary and secondary HLH is critical. Our previous studies have showed that a Th1/Th2 cytokine profile is diagnostic for HLH, yet the cytokine profiles between primary and secondary HLH have not been compared. The aim of the ...
DIAGNOSIS To make the diagnosis of PPH, certain positive and negative clinical criteria must be met. It cannot be overemphasized that PPH is a diagnosis of exclusion and is only as reliable as the extent to which secondary causes of pulmonary hypertension have been ruled out. The most common ...

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension and Cirrhosis: Are They Related? 1– 3 The relationship of primary pulmonary hypertension to longstanding portal hypertension secondary to hepatic cirrhosis was examined. An unselected series of 17,901 autopsied patients older than 1 yr of age showed that primary pulmonary...
Lung tissue from subjects dying from primary plexogenic pulmonary hypertension (PPH) has shown defects of elastin formation of the lung arteries. Lung vessels from 5 cases of PPH were compared with those of 9 age-matched normal subjects, and 24 individuals having secondary pulmonary hypertension (...
Resting lung mechanics and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide DLcowere assessed in 79 patients whose findings conformed to the classical diagnostic criteria of PPH and who had no evidence of secondary causes of pulmonary hypertension. These findings were correlated with severity of disease as ...
Thrombotic lesions are consistently observed in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and frequently found in primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). It remains unknown, however, whether thrombosis is related to defects of the antithrombotic pathway or to previous vascular injury. This study ...
These lesions lead to elevated pulmonary-artery pressures, right-ventricular failure, and death. Although primary pulmonary hypertension is rare, cases secondary to known etiologies are more common and include those associated with the appetite-suppressant drugs, including phentermine-fenfluramine. We ...
