BACKGROUND
Increased γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) level is associated with increased oxidative stress, all-cause mortality, the development of cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. However, its role in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of renal artery embolism. To review the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features of this disease interesting for the urologist.
RESULTS
Case of a 47 year old male with history of cardiovascular disease who presents in the emergency room with left flank pain.
A case of cholesterol embolism of bone marrow, concerning the pelvis and lumbar region and clinically masquerading as systemic disease or metastatic tumor, is reported in an 82-year-old man hospitalized for acute onset of reddish purple nodules on the legs and toes, intense myalgia and dorsal
Lithium used in bipolar mood disorder therapy protects neurons from brain ischemic cell death. Here, we documented that lithium administration under microsphere-embolism (ME)-induced brain ischemia restored decreased protein kinase B (Akt) and Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)
Spontaneous renal artery embolism is not rare, but a correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment are often delayed. Clinical features and follow-up of 17 cases are reported. Cardiac disease or arrhythmias pre-existed in 16 patients. Initial symptoms included flank pain (seven cases), abdominal or
Among 2175 patients seen over the last three years in a non-specialized department of internal medicine with no intensive care unit, 100 had supranormal serum lactic dehydrogenase activities. These patients' case-reports have been analyzed. Nearly half the patients (47/100) had a malignant disease
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of renal infarction in a patient on anticoagulant therapy for aortic and tricuspid valvulopathy, with special reference to the diagnostic difficulty.
METHODS
The most common causes of this condition, its forms of presentation, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic approaches
Heparin is a naturally occurring, complex glycosaminoglycan that has anticoagulant activity and has been used for decades as an antithrombotic agent in management of patients at high risk for thromboses. Heparin is synthesized in mast cells as a polymer from glucuronic acid and glucosamine residues,
OBJECTIVE
Previous studies showed that expression of phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN), gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may play an important role in tumor occurrence and progression. This study was designed to
OBJECTIVE
To explore the correlation between alpha fetoprotein (AFP) and the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatectomy in an ethnic Chinese population.
METHODS
This study retrospectively analyzed the surgical outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in 779 patients undergoing hepatic
A 47-year-old Taiwanese man with no notable medical history was admitted with low-grade fevers and night sweats that had persisted for 5 to 6 weeks. An extensive investigation at another hospital could not determine the cause of the fevers, but documented acute renal failure with a blood urea
OBJECTIVE
The authors studied the acute toxicity of percutaneous transcatheter hepatic artery infusion of iodized poppy oil fatty acid ester (Lipiodol, Laboratoire Guerbet, Aulnay-sous-Bois, France).
METHODS
Lipiodol dosages of 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mL/kg were infused into the hepatic arteries
BACKGROUND
Based on evidence of activity in epithelial tumors in preclinical and Phase I studies, its novel mechanism of action, and its tolerability we undertook a study of bortezomib [PS-341], a reversible proteasome inhibitor, for patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial
CD45 is a receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase present on the surface of all hematopoietic cells except for erythrocytes and platelets. Proteomics studies, however, have demonstrated the presence of a CD45 c-terminal catalytic peptide in platelets. Therefore, we investigated the
