ICD-10 coding number Diseases Database coding number Medical Subject Headings plasma cell leukemia: C90.1: D007952 Plasma cell leukemia (PCL), a lymphoproliferative disorder, [79] is a rare cancer involving a subtype of white blood cells called plasma cells. [80] Acute erythraemia and erythroleukaemia: Acute erythremic myelosis: Acute erythroid ...
Severely elevated blood pressure (equal to or greater than 180 mmHg systolic or 120 mmHg diastolic) is referred to as a hypertensive crisis (sometimes termed malignant or accelerated hypertension), due to the high risk of complications.
It is different from a hypertensive urgency by this additional evidence for impending irreversible hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD). Blood pressure is often above 200/120 mmHg, however there are no universally accepted cutoff values .
Early recognition of this injury is crucial for survival. Infants who have experienced a difficult operative delivery or are suspected to have a SGH require ongoing monitoring including frequent vital signs (minimally every hour), and serial measurements of hematocrits and their occipital frontal circumference, which increases 1 cm with each 40 mL of blood deposited into the subgaleal space.
Subdural hematoma maybe less acute than epidural hematoma due to slower blood accumulation, but it still has the potential to cause brain herniation that may require surgical evacuation. [3] Clinical features depend on the site of injury and severity of injury. Patients may have a history of loss of consciousness but they recover and do not ...
The outcome of treatment is dependent on causality. Pulmonary Hemorrhage is present in 7 to 10% of neonatal autopsies, but up to 80% of autopsies of very preterm infants. [1] The incidence is 1 in 1,000 live births. [1] Pulmonary hemorrhage has a high mortality rate of 30% to 40%. [1]
The hematoma may be caused by either rupture of the epigastric artery or by a muscular tear. Several factors have been identified as predisposing risks for rectus sheath hematoma, including coughing, straining, exercise, hypertension, obesity, previous abdominal surgery, subcutaneous injection, trauma and anticoagulant therapy.
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy may cause intraparenchymal hemorrhage even in patients without elevated blood pressure. Unlike hypertension, cerebral amyloid angiopathy does not typically affect blood vessels to deep brain structures. Instead, it is most commonly associated with hemorrhage of small vessels in the cerebral cortex. [2]
