Viperbites undeniably cause local manifestations such as hemorrhage and myotoxicity involving substantial degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) at the site of envenomation and lead to progressive tissue damage and necrosis. The principle toxin responsible is attributed to snake venom
Spreading depolarization describes a sustained neuronal and astroglial depolarization with abrupt ion translocation between intraneuronal and extracellular space leading to a cytotoxic edema and silencing of spontaneous activity. Spreading depolarizations occur abundantly in acutely injured human
Polyamines are polycations present in all living organisms and have been shown to play an important role in various physiological functions. Previous studies have shown that various amines including polyamines inhibit platelet activation. Among the amines tested tetra-amine, spermine is the potent
OBJECTIVE
It was intended to demonstrate the update report of our experience with laparoscopic management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction by division of the aberrant vein and cephalad relocation of the crossing artery in a large group of patients with long-term follow-up.
METHODS
Three hundred
We determined the radioactivity of 99mTc-diethylene-triamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) from the azygos vein in 20 patients with cirrhosis to evaluate the hemodynamic relationship between esophageal varices and azygos venous blood flow before and after sclerotherapy. 99mTc-DTPA was injected into
OBJECTIVE
To describe and analyze our experience with Anderson-Hynes transperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) in the treatment of recurrent ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).
METHODS
38 consecutive patients who underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic redo-pyeloplasty between January 2007
OBJECTIVE
Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty for correction of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in the pediatric population is comparable to open dismembered pyeloplasty in success rates. Experience with this procedure however remains limited. We review our experience with this
OBJECTIVE
In vivo tracking cells using gadolinium-based contrast agents have the important advantage of providing a positive contrast on T1-weighted images, which is less likely to be confused with artifacts because of postoperative local signal voids such as metal, hemorrhage, or air. The aim of
Objective: To evaluate the value of adding fibrin glue, as a sealant material, to the anastomotic line during stentless laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LPP). Patients and methods: In all, 92 patients with pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO), scheduled for LPP, were randomised into two
Hemangioblastoma (HBL) in the suprasellar region is very rare and a few cases have been reported. Suprasellar HBL without von Hippel-Lindau disease is much rarer. A 76-year old male patient presented progressively deteriorating visual disturbance. MRI demonstrated solid suprasellar mass of 20 mm in
Secondary amyloidosis frequently involves the gastrointestinal tract and may result in ulceration, hemorrhage, and protein-losing enteropathy. We report a patient with severe hypoalbuminemia in whom endoscopy revealed widespread ulceration of the small intestine. The protein-losing site was detected
