  • The authors report a 42-year-old woman presented with a falx meningioma with disproportionately severe peritumoral edema. Histological examination including immunohistochemical staining resulted in the diagnosis of secretory meningioma. In addition to tumor size, edema could not be explained by location, growth rate, vascular involvement, or other factors. We conclude that secretory meningiomas may possess an innate ability to cause brain edema.

  • Objectives : The present study was examined to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of the Humulus japonicus MeOH extracts (HJE) in the carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats. Methods : The effects of HJE on anti-inflammation were measured in the carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats and infiltrated Inflammatory Cells. Results : 1. HJE (1.0 g/kg) and dexamethasone effectively inhibited paw edema measured 1~4 h after carrageenan injection. HJE (0.3 g/kg) effectively inhibited paw edema measured 1, 3, 4 hr. 2. In histopathological study in rats, 1.0 g/kg HJE and dexamethasone effectively inhibited the increases of hind paw skin thicknesses and inflammatory cell infiltrations induced by carrageenan treatment. But quite similar histopathological changes were detected in 0.3 g/kg HJE treated group as compared with carrageenan control.

  • This report details a case of unexpected, severe post-operative cerebral edema following cranioplasty. We discuss the possible pathological mechanisms of this complication. A 50-year-old female was admitted to our department with sudden onset of stuporous consciousness. A brain computed tomography (CT) revealed a subarachnoid hemorrhage with intracranial hemorrhage and subdural hematoma. Emergency decompressive craniectomy and aneurysmal neck clipping were performed. Following recovery, the decision was made to proceed with an autologous cranioplasty. The cranioplasty procedure was free of complications. An epidural drain was placed and connected to a suction system during skin closure to avoid epidural blood accumulation. However, following the procedure, the patient had a seizure in the recovery room. An emergency brain CT scan revealed widespread cerebral edema, and the catheter drain was clamped. The increased intracranial pressure and cerebral edema were controlled with osmotic diuretics, corticosteroids, and antiepileptic drugs. The edema slowly subsided, but new low-density areas were noted in the brain on follow-up CT 1 week later. We speculated that placing the epidural drain on active suction may have caused an acute decrease in intracranial pressure and subsequent rapid expansion of the brain, which impaired autoregulation and led to reperfusion injury.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of foot mats on reducing levels of fatigue, discomfort, lower extremity edema and skin temperature in scrub nurses during surgery. Methods: This study employed one group repeated measures design in which 16 scrub nurses (ages 22-38) stood on steel footstools (SF) during scrub as the conventional test and stood on SF with foot mats as the experimental test. Levels of fatigue, discomfort, lower extremity edema and skin temperature were measured before the first surgical hand scrub and right after the first surgery of the day for 3 consecutive days in both tests. Results: The changes in levels of fatigue and discomfort were significantly different between tests (p<.001~.033). Edema, determined by the differences in circumferences of the ankles and calves before and after the surgery was also significantly different between groups (p=.001~.011). However, the change in skin temperature on the foot tops of both feet was not different between tests (p=.351~.467). Conclusion: The results of this study show that using foot mats on top of the steel footstool is effective in reducing the levels of fatigue, discomfort and lower extremity edema in scrub nurses during surgery.

  • Purpose: This study examined the effects of manual lymph drainage (MLD) on edema and the quality of life (QOL) of lymphedema patients in the maintenance phase. Method: Forty five lymphedema patients, who had completed intensive decongestive therapy, were enrolled in this study. All subjects were assigned randomly to two groups: Experimental (MLD) group (n=23) and control (self-MLD) group (n=22). MLD by a specialist was applied with a comfortable pressure for 40~60 minutes in the experimental group and self-MLD was carried out by the control group 5 times a week for 2 weeks. The % edema and a SF-36 questionnaire were used to measure the decrease in edema and the QOL. A paired t-test was used to compare the period, and an independent T-test was used to compare experiment and control groups. Result: The % edema was significantly lower in the experimental group after MLD (p<0.05). The physical, vitality, and mental health scores of the experimental group was significantly higher than those of the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: TMLD by a specialist in the maintenance phase is effective in reducing the % edema and enhancing the QOL of lymphedema patients. Further studies will be needed to determine if there are differences in the effects of many types of treatment methods in the lymphedema treatment.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of foot bath therapy on operating room (OR) nurses' lower extremities edema, stress, and fatigue. Methods: This study used a randomized control group non-synchronized design. The data were collected from August to October 2013, and a total of 50 OR nurses in an university hospital in U Metropolitan City participated in the study: 25 nurses for the experimental group and 25 for the control group. The experimental group received foot bath in which feet were soaked in $40^{\circ}C$ water and immersed up to ankle line for 20 minutes per a day for 12 times. Results: There were significant decrease in the calf edema, physical stress, and fatigue between pre and post foot bath therapy. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that foot bath had the effect in decreasing lower extremities edema, stress, and fatigue among OR nurses. Foot bath therapy, therefore, is suggested as a comfort and easy-to-use method in clinical setting to reduce OR nurses' lower extremities edema, stress, and fatigue.

  • Although rare, complications can occur with anesthetic procedures. The posterior superior alveolar nerve (PSAN) block anesthetic technique has a high success rate, but positive aspiration can cause bruising, transient diplopia, blurred vision, and temporary blindness in approximately 3% cases. When edema occurs, it is occasionally massive, especially in the infratemporal fossa, and the resulting hematoma is usually unsightly. A 20-year-old woman presented with massive edema followed by hematoma in the upper right jaw immediately after PSAN block administration, which subsequently spread to the oral mucosa. The patient did not report any complications during the anesthetic procedure. However, after the injection was administered, the patient experienced anesthetic sensations, which rapidly evolved to facial edema. There was mild pain, but without intraoral or extraoral bleeding. The patient was prescribed medicines and instructed to perform contrast therapy. Although hematomas and edema are rare, they are difficult to prevent. The choice of local anesthetic and appropriate application of the anesthetic technique can minimize their occurrence.
