Noninvasive Measurements of Pressure for Detecting Compartment Syndromes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND We tested a noninvasive ultrasound, Pulse Phase Locked Loop (PPLL) technique for estimating Intramuscular Pressure (IMP) in a model Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS); and compared it to a Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) method. QUESTIONS We

Acquired Hemophilia A With Post-Phlebotomy Compartment Syndrome. [PDF]
Acquired hemophilia A should be considered in unexplained bleeding with isolated activated partial thromboplastin time prolongation, even if mild. This case demonstrates an atypical presentation—compartment syndrome post‐phlebotomy—with refractory ...

When Time Is Not on Your Side: Delayed Recognition of Hand Compartment Syndrome After a Fracture. [PDF]
Compartment syndrome of the forearm is a well-described clinical entity, but only a few case reports on hand compartment syndromes have been reported due to its rarity.

AbstractBackgroundAcute compartment syndrome is both a limb- and life-threatening emergency that requires prompt treatment. To avoid a delay in diagnosis requires vigilance and, if necessary, intracompartmental pressure measurement. This review encompasses both limb and abdominal compartment syndrome, including aetiology, diagnosis, treatment and ...

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome [PDF]
The term abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) describes the clinical manifestations of the pathologic elevation of the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). When the IAP exceeds 12 mm Hg it is referred to as intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) while ACS generally sets in at an IAP in excess of 20 mm Hg.

Abdominal compartment syndrome in a 10-year-old boy with delayed presentation of congenital aganglionic megacolon [PDF]
Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) involves adverse physiologic consequences arising from the increased intra-abdominal pressure, leading to high mortality. However, this syndrome has been scarcely reported in pediatric emergency settings.

Abdominal compartment syndrome [PDF]
Two cases of abdominal compartment syndrome are described and the pathophysiology associated with it is reviewed.The first patient was a 46-yr-old man who sustained extensive blunt abdominal injuries following a fall. The second was a 54-yr-old man involved in a motor vehicle accident with blunt abdominal trauma.

The Role of Magnetic Resonance in the Diagnosis of Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome [PDF]
Chronic compartment syndrome is a common and often underdiagnosed exercise-induced condition, accounting on average for a quarter of cases of chronic exertional pain in the leg, second only to the fracture/tibial stress syndrome spectrum.

Screening for coping style increases the power of gene expression studies [PDF]
Background: Individuals of many vertebrate species show different stress coping styles and these have a striking influence on how gene expression shifts in response to a variety of challenges. Principal Findings: This is clearly illustrated by a study in
