A fatal case of acute progression of generalized edema and simultaneous flash pulmonary edema in a patient with idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome: a case report.

Introduction: Idiopathic systemic capillary leak syndrome is a rare and fatal disease due to the unexplained episodic attacks of capillary leakage of plasma from the intravascular into the interstitial space. The attack consists of three phases, a prodromal phase, peripheral leak phase and recruitment phase. During the peripheral leak phase, generalized edema, mainly in the trunk and extremities, with hemoconcentration and hypoalbuminemia occurs, while usually the visceral organs like lungs, brain, heart and kidneys seem not to be involved.

Dipolar ruthenium(II) ammine complexes as electron transfer mediators of amperometric glucose sensors.

The mediation of dipolar ruthenium(II) ammine complexes containing pyridinium ions [Ru(NH(3))(5)(L(+))](3+)(L(+): pyridinium ions) in glucose oxidation has been investigated by a voltammetric method. These ruthenium(II) complexes had appropriate redox potentials of 0.10-0.
