OBJECTIVE
This experimental study aimed to assess the changes in the levels of serum ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) by time in cases of acute mesenteric ischemia due to superior mesenteric artery occlusion.
METHODS
Twenty-one New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to determine the value of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) in the diagnosis of mesenteric embolism. The authors investigated whether or not plasma IMA levels rose in the acute period in a rat model of mesenteric ischemia and the related time-dependent changes.
METHODS
In
Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a sensitive marker of myocardial ischemia, skeletal muscle ischemia, pulmonary embolism, and stroke. However, there are no studies showing whether IMA increases in mesenteric ischemia. The aim of this study was to determine whether IMA was elevated in acute
OBJECTIVE
Previous studies have demonstrated that ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a useful marker for the diagnosis of ischemic events. This study aimed to determine the value of ischemia-modified plasma albumin in the early diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia in an experimental
OBJECTIVE
Fluorescently labeled albumin is used frequently as a tracer when monitoring microvascular permeability. Several fluorescent dyes are available for labeling protein, including fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and Texas Red (TR). Because differences in leakage of dye-labeled proteins have
BACKGROUND
Endovascular therapy (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty [PTA] with stenting) has been increasingly applied in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) to avoid morbidities associated with open repair (OR). The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of PTA/Stent vs OR in
BACKGROUND
We investigated prognostic parameters of patients who underwent surgical intervention for acute mesenteric ischemia by evaluating demographic characteristics and laboratory data on admission.
METHODS
The hospital records of 30 patients who underwent surgical interventions due to acute
BACKGROUND
In this study, we investigated the alterations of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), acute inflammation, and oxidative damage in the circulatory system and the intestine in response to mesenteric ischemia/reperfusion
BACKGROUND
A major hemodynamic feature of adult respiratory distress syndrome is pulmonary hypertension secondary to avid pulmonary vascular smooth muscle constriction. This study was undertaken to study the hypothesis that this pulmonary vasoconstriction may derive from pulmonary vasomotor
Currently, the rapid diagnosis of mesenteric ischemia is problematic because of the nonspecificity of most laboratory assays and the unreliability of physical examinations. The evaluation of the cobalt-albumin binding assay (CABA) as a diagnostic marker for short-term risk stratification of
BACKGROUND
Differential diagnosis of seizure is critical in patients presented to emergency department (ED) with altered mental status or loss of consciousness. Although electroencephalogram is important for the diagnosis of seizures, its use in EDs is limited. The level of ischemia-modified albumin
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) defines a complex of conditions characterized by an interruption of the splanchnic circulation, leading to insufficient oxygen delivery or utilization to fill the metabolic needs of the visceral organs. Early diagnosis and immediate therapy are the cornerstones of
Patients suffering from chronic mesenteric ischemia are at risk of malnutrition due to the fear of food and weight loss. However, the impact of malnutrition on the morbidity and mortality at the time of surgery is not studied extensively, just as its prevalence. The main objective of BACKGROUND
Patients presenting with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) sufficiently advanced to require bowel resection have a high morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to analyze these patients to determine if certain pre- or intraoperative variables are predictive of death or
