Macular edema occurs when fluid and protein deposits collect on or under the macula of the eye (a yellow central area of the retina) and causes it to thicken and swell (edema).

Acute mountain sickness can progress to high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high altitude cerebral edema (HACE), which are potentially fatal.

Anyway, the fluids would be masked by the effects of pulmonary edema.

These diseases collectively can also cause diarrhea, skin rashes, edema, and heart failure.

Use of Novolog has also been associated with sodium retention and edema.

Even macular edema, which may cause vision loss more rapidly, may not have any warning signs for some time.

The area of the macula comprises only about 2.1 of the retina, and the remaining 97.9 (the peripheral field) remains unaffected by the disease.

Cerebral edema (swelling of the brain) occurs due to leakage of large molecules like albumins from blood vessels through the damaged blood brain barrier.

He died of congestive heart failure and pulmonary edema, surrounded by family members, at the Military Hospital at 14 15 local time (17 15 UTC).

Aristotle believed that the moon was in the innermost sphere and therefore touches the realm of Earth, causing the dark spots (macula) and the ability to go through lunar phases.

(a) Respiratory irritant effects (characterized by localized redness, edema, pruritis and or pain) that impair function with symptoms such as cough, pain, choking, and breathing difficulties are included.

In the eye, certain other carotenoids (lutein, astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin) apparently act directly to absorb damaging blue and near ultraviolet light, in order to protect the macula of the retina, the part of the eye with the sharpest vision.

Macular degeneration, often age related macular degeneration (AMD or ARMD), is a medical condition that usually affects older adults and results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the macula) because of damage to the retina.

After treatment patients gradually regain their vision over a period of a few weeks, although the visual acuity may not be as good as it was prior to the detachment, particularly if the macula was involved in the area of the detachment.

The name is an acronym deriving from some of the main features Polyneuropathy (peripheral nerve damage), Organomegaly (abnormal enlargement of organs), Endocrinopathy (damage to hormone producing glands) or Edema, M protein (an abnormal immunoglobulin) and Skin abnormalities (including hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis).

For example, animal studies may provide useful information in terms of clinical signs of toxicity (dyspnoea, rhinitis etc) and histopathology (e.g. hyperemia, edema, minimal inflammation, thickened mucous layer) which are reversible and may be reflective of the characteristic clinical symptoms described above. Such animal studies can be used as part of weight of evidence evaluation
