Infobox disease Name Macular edema Image Diabetic macular edema.jpg ICD10 ICD10 H 35 8 h 30 ICD9 ICD9 362.01 , ICD9 362.53 Macular edema occurs when fluid and protein deposits collect on or under the macula of the human eye eye , a yellow central area of the retina , causing it to thicken and swell. The swelling may distort a person s central visual perception vision , as the macula is near the center of the retina at the back of the eyeball. This area holds tightly packed cone cell cones that provide sharp, clear central vision to enable a person to see form, color, and detail that is directly in the line of sight. Macular edema is sometimes a complication appearing a few days or weeks after cataract surgery , but most such cases can be successfully treated with NSAID or cortisone eye drops . Until recently there were no good treatments for macular edema caused by central retinal vein occlusion CRVO .

Presentation Reinke s edema causes the vocal folds to wiktionary bilateral bilaterally swell giving them an uneven, sac like appearance. Individuals with Reinke s Edema typically have low pitched, husky voices. Causes Common causes of Reinke s edema include Tobacco smoking smoking , Gastroesophageal reflux disease gastroesophageal reflux , hormonal changes such as hypothyroidism and chronic voice abuse. Histology Histopathology biopsy of the vocal cord may be used to help in diagnosis in some cases. Histology shows oedema in the stroma. Treatment The first course of treatment is to remove the source of the irritant e.g. smoking cessation, vocal rest, etc. . This can be effective if done soon after development of the edema. Surgery is also an option and can result in some restoration of the voice but is ineffective in complete restoration of the voice to its original state. Decortication of the vocal cords, i.e. removal of a strip of epithelium, is done first on one side and 3 4 weeks later on the other side. Eponym It is named for Friedrich B.

unreferenced date January 2011 Berlin s edema Commotio Retinae is a condition caused by blunt injury to the eye. It is characterized by decreased vision in the injured eye a few hours after the injury. Under examination the retina appears opaque and white in colour in the periphery but the blood vessels are normally seen. Usually there is no leakage of fluid and therefore it is not considered a true edema. The choroidal fluorescence in fluorescent angiography is absent. Visual aquity ranges from 20 20 to 20 400. The prognosis is excellent except in case of complications of choroidal rupture ,hemorrhage and pigment epithelial damage.The outcome can be worsened in the case of retinal detachment, atrophy or hyperplasia. Visual field defects can occur. In late cases cystoid macular edema sometimes develops which can further lead to macular destruction. Commotio retinae is usually self limiting and there is no treatment as such.

Fitzpatrick s Dermatology in General Medicine . 6th ed. . Page 689. McGraw Hill. ISBN 0071380760. ref Persistent edema of rosacea is an uncommon cutaneous condition characterized by a hard, nonpitting edema restricted to the forehead, glabella, upper eyelids, nose, and cheeks. This condition is also known as chronic upper facial erythematous edema, Morbihan s disease, morbus Morbihan, and rosaceous lymphedema. Despite the name, it is unclear whether this condition is a distinct disease or a rare complication of rosacea. Generally, there are few symptomatic complaints aside from redness and facial contour changes. The edema typically worsens slowly over months to years and is often on a background of chronic inflammation. There are no specific laboratory findings associated with this condition, and the histology tends to be similar to that seen in rosacea. The differential diagnosis includes acne vulgaris, streptococcal cellulitis, and Melkersson Rosenthal syndrome, as these conditions can also rarely manifest with a similar edema, as well as other forms of rosacea, lupus erythematosus, and sarcoidosis. Most cases of this condition tend to be recalcitrant to treatment, with topical and oral antibiotic regiments commonly used for rosacea generally being ineffective. For the severe forms of this disease, oral isotretinoin therapy has been used, and the condition responds well to doses of 0.5 to 1 mg kg day. However, unlike in the treatment of acne vulgaris, lasting responses to isotretinoin generally do not occur, and long term maintenance therapy with oral tetracyclines is usually .... 2008 33 6 764 7. ref ref Wohlrab J, et al.

mergefrom Euler Liljestrand mechanism discuss Talk Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction Merger proposal date May 2010 Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is a paradoxical, Physiology physiological phenomenon in which pulmonary arteries constrict in the presence of Hypoxia medical hypoxia low oxygen levels without hypercapnia high carbon dioxide levels , redirecting blood flow to Pulmonary alveolus alveoli with a higher oxygen content. The process might at first seem illogical, as low oxygen levels should theoretically lead to increased blood flow to the lungs to receive increased gaseous exchange. However, it is explained by the fact that constriction leads to redistribution of bloodflow to better ventilated areas of the lung, which increases the total area involved in gaseous exchange. Several factors inhibit this process including increased cardiac output, hypocapnia , hypothermia , acidosis alkalosis , increased pulmonary vascular resistance, inhaled anesthetics , calcium channel blockers, PEEP, HFV, isoproterenol , nitrous oxide , and vasodilators . High altitude pulmonary edema main High altitude pulmonary edema Climbing tall mountains can induce full lung hypoxia due to decreased atmospheric pressure. This hypoxia causes hypoxic vasoconstriction that ultimately leads to high altitude pulmonary edema HAPE . For this reason, most climbers carry supplemental oxygen to prevent hypoxia, edema, and HAPE. The standard drug treatment of dexamethasone does not alter the hypoxia or the consequent vasoconstriction, but stimulates fluid reabsorption in the lungs to reverse the edema.
