A genetic variant of the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) has been produced which becomes markedly obese as well as hypertensive, i.e. Obese/SHR weigh 800 g as against 300 g for non-obese cohorts. Serum enzymes (CPK, SGOT, SGPT and LDH) are frequently abnormally elevated, concomitantly with a
Male and female virgin rats and breeder rats with naturally-occurring diabetes, hypertension and arteriosclerosis, were made severely diabetic with a single, subcutaneous injection of alloxan (10 mg/100 g b.w.), after an 18 h fast. During five months of unrelenting diabetes, some animals became
Clinicopathologic correlation of cutaneous biopsy specimens demonstrating typical lipomembranous fat necrosis was performed. Material from 732 biopsies of various subcutaneous inflammatory disorders seen at our institution in the past 5 years was screened for typical lipomembranous (membranocystic)
BACKGROUND
The pathophysiology of coronary artery dissection (CD) remains poorly under-stood and little is known about the factors predicting mortality in these patients. We aimed to study the epidemiology of CD and predictors of mortality in these patients.
METHODS
All patients diagnosed with CD in
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous renal artery dissection (SRAD) is a rare entity of unknown etiology. We aimed to study the clinical course and outcomes and compare the characteristics of patients with SRAD with those of the general population.
METHODS
All cases of isolated renal artery dissection diagnosed
Over the past four years, all patients with unexplained rapid progression of their renal disease were subjected to kidney biopsy, despite their small size (<9 cm), to define its etiology. Children, pregnant women, morbidly obese patients, and those with an unstable cardiovascular state, septicemia,
