Towards an understanding of oedema

Abstract: Sometime during the reign of Tiberius (25-50 ad) Celsus wrote:A chronic malady may develop in patients who collect water under their skin. The Greeks call this hydrops. There are three species: (1) Sometimes the belly is tense. The Greeks call this tympanites.(2) Sometimes the body is rendered uneven by swellings arising here and there and all over. The Greeks call this hyposarka. (3) Sometimes, the water is all drawn within and is called ascites.

“…None of the patients received continuous infusion or intermittent boluses of muscle relaxants during the study period. The degree of subcutaneous peripheral edema was assessed daily using the pitting score as described by Diskin et al [15]. Depth of "pit" was measured following a 10-s compression on the ankle and hand by one finger (score: 1=no edema, 2=pit: 1-2 mm, 3=pit: 3-4 mm, 4=pit: ≥4 mm).…”

“…A evolução da dor foi quantificada por meio da EVA 8 , do edema, por meio da inspeção e palpação 9 , e das equimoses por registro fotográfico com câmera digital de 7.2 megapixels, modelo DSC-W110 Sony ® , posicionada perpendicularmente a 30 cm da coxa esquerda 12 , para graduação do espectro equimótico de Legrand du Saulle 13 , ambos coletados antes dos procedimentos terapêuticos a cada atendimento.…”

“…124 Unfortunately, both may be unreliable in contrast dye-induced ARF, where both the FeNa and FeUrea are low suggestive of PRA. 125 Improved understanding of the differences in the renal handling of each solute may be quite useful in the diagnosis of other clinical situations in the future.…”
