Clinical Performance And Biocompatibility Of Hyaluronan-Based Heparin-Bonded Extracorporeal Circuits In Different Risk Cohorts
(Oxford Univ Press, 2010)
This prospective randomized study compares novel hyaluronan-based heparin-bonded circuits vs. uncoated controls across EuroSCORE patient risk strata including biomaterial evaluation. Over a two-year period, 90 patients ...
Effect of Cardiopulmonary Bypass on Plasma Levels of Lipoprotein (A) in Hypercholesterolemic Patients
(Japan Heart Journal, Second Dept Of Internal Med, 2001)
Increments of lipoprotein (a) (Lp (a)) concentration during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) have not been justified in the literature vet. We have investigated whether Lp a) levels remain constant or increase during CPB and ...
Oxidative Effects Of Selenite On Rat Ventricular Contractility And Ca Movements
(Elsevier Science Bv, 1996)
Objective: The study aimed at characterizing the effects of selenite, known for its reactivity with thiols, on cardiac contractility and excitation-contraction coupling. Methods: The inotropic effects of selenite were ...
Cervical Aortic Arch With Aneurysm Formation
(Elsevier Science Bv, 1998)
Cervical aortic arch is a very rare anomaly presented as a pulsatile mass on the neck and usually with symptoms of dysphagia, cough and hoarseness. Rarer than the cervical aortic arch, is the aneurysm formation and, despite ...
Chronic Degenerative Changes In The Myocardium Supplied By Bridged Coronary Arteries In Eight Postmortem Samples
(Blackwell Science, 1998)
In humans, the coronary arteries course not only subepicardially but also intramyocardially. The intramyocardial course of the coronary artery is reported to lead to acute ischemic heart disease and, as well, it may be ...
Evaluation Of The Minimum Effective Concentration Of Foam Sclerosant In An Ex-Vivo Study
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2012)
Background: Foam sclerosants are widely used in sclerotherapy and have been accepted as more effective than the liquid form; however, there is no consensus about the most applicable and effective concentration. Objective: ...
Detection Of Telomerase Activity In Bronchial Lavage As An Adjunct To Cytological Diagnosis In Lung Cancer
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2003)
Objective: Definitive diagnosis of lung cancer with conventional methods may sometimes be difficult in clinical practice. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein DNA polymerase that maintains the telomeric region of chromosomes ...
An Unusual Tumor of The Neck and Mediastinum: Lipoblastomatosis Resulting in Paraparesis
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2007)
Lipoblastornatous tumors are quite rare neoplasms deriving from embryonic white fatty tissues, most often seen in infancy and childhood. Lipobtastoma is the focal and well-circumscribed type, whereas tipoblastomatosis is ...
Genetic Evidence For Plasminogen As A Shared Genetic Risk Factor Of Coronary Artery Disease And Periodontitis
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)
Background-Genetic studies demonstrated the presence of risk alleles in the genes ANRIL and CAMTA1/VAMP3 that are shared between coronary artery disease (CAD) and periodontitis. We aimed to identify further shared genetic ...
18F-Fdg Pet/Ct Rarely Provides Additional Information Other Than Primary Tumor Detection In Patients With Pulmonary Carcinoid Tumors
(Saudi Thoracic Soc, 2014)
Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) in detection and staging of pulmonary carcinoid tumors. Methods: ...
