TL;DR: Pulmonary edema and hydrothorax were observed in mature swine that died approximately 5 days after consuming corn screenings, and a fungus was isolated from the corn screenings that is identical to Fusarium moniliforme MRC-826 in colony morphology and under microscopic examination.
Abstract: Pulmonary edema and hydrothorax were observed in mature swine that died approximately 5 days after consuming corn screenings. These postmortem observations were reproduced in younger swine (16-24 kg) that died within 1 week when fed the corn screenings under experimental conditions. Additionally, pulmonary edema and hydrothorax occurred in a pig (7.1 kg) that died after receiving 4 daily intravenous injections of fumonisin B1. A fungus was isolated from the corn screenings that is identical to Fusarium moniliforme MRC-826 in colony morphology and under microscopic examination.

TL;DR: Seven cases of ascites and hydrothorax due to the presence of a tumor of the ovary of a nonsecretory type are described and it is hoped that by their making use of the knowledge some women will escape inevitable invalidism.

TL;DR: Of 582 patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy, 4% had complications and there were two deaths--one from respiratory failure in a patient with severe interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and chronic renal failure and the other from myocardial infarction in an obese diabetic patient with hypertension.
Abstract: Of 582 patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy, 4% had complications. The most common complications were fever (23%) and bleeding necessitating transfusion (12%). Extravasation was seen in 7% of patients and transient ureteral obstruction in 6%. Other complications included pneumothorax or hydrothorax, pneumonia/atelectasis, paralytic ileus, nephrostomy-tube dislodgment or urine drainage from the flank lasting more than 1 week, significant infection, urinoma formation, renal pelvic laceration, ureteral avulsion, ureteropelvic or ureteral stricture, bowel injury, or escape of stone fragments into the retroperitoneum. Seven patients (1%) required immediate surgery: four to repair renal pelvic lacerations, one to repair a ureteral avulsion, and two to control bleeding after nephrostomy-tube removal when embolization failed. Four patients required delayed surgery for ureteral or ureteropelvic junction strictures, which may have been caused by a tissue reaction to the stones rather than by the procedure itself. There were two deaths--one from respiratory failure in a patient with severe interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and chronic renal failure and the other from myocardial infarction in an obese diabetic patient with hypertension.
