Disease relevance of Melena

 

High impact information on Melena

  • We studied the effects of tranexamic acid (an antifibrinolytic agent) and cimetidine on acute upper-gastrointestinal-tract bleeding in a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial in 775 patients with hematemesis or melena or both [6].
  • Although fever and rash subsided with administration of prednisolone, massive hematemesis appeared with melena [7].
  • A 47-yr-old woman presenting with high fever, rash, and melena was diagnosed with SLE from positive antinuclear antibodies, anti-dsDNA, and low complement titers [7].
  • With the presence of melena (RR = 101.63, p = 0.007), nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms (RR = 12.54, p = 0.026), increasing age (RR = 1.09, p = 0.028) and abnormal CEA (RR = 240.79, p = 0.000), the risk of having cancer increased significantly and independently [8].
  • Immunosuppressive therapy (cyclophosphamide 500 mg and 1 mg of vincristine) markedly restored the platelet counts to 7.2 x 10(4)/microliter and ceased the melena; furthermore, the size of adrenal tumors decreased by more than 60% after therapy [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Melena

 

Associations of Melena with chemical compounds

  • Effectiveness of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin in a case of acquired von Willebrand syndrome with chronic melena not responsive to desmopressin and factor VIII concentrate [13].
  • The diagnosis was made preoperatively by pertechnetate technetium 99m isotope scanning and a barium meal examination, and we discuss the use of these investigations in children presenting with melena [14].
  • Intra-arterial prednisolone injection therapy was given, following which the melena gradually subsided and completely stopped within a few days [15].
