"Absent" pulmonary artery in one adult and five pediatric patients: Imaging, embryology, and therapeutic implications
(2002)OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to present serial clinical and imaging findings for the "absent" pulmonary artery. Data from six patients with this condition (five unilateral cases and one bilateral case) provide ... -
Analysis of tidal breathing flow volume loop in dogs with tracheal masses
(2010)Objectives To investigate whether there are any changes in the tidal breathing flow volume loop (TBFVL) in calm, non-dyspnoeic dogs with intratracheal masses. Methods We compared 4 dogs with intratracheal masses (group 1) ... -
Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2010)Aim. Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure and ... -
Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2009)Background: Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure ... -
Clinical relevance and treatment of carotid stent fractures
(2010)Objective: To review all published reports and investigate the clinical relevance and need for treatment of carotid stent fractures. Methods: Electronic and hand-searching of the published literature and the Manufacturer ... -
Dimensions of the lumbar spinal canal: variations and correlations with somatometric parameters using CT
(1998)The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of vertebral dimensions with somatometric parameters in patients without clinical symptoms and radiological signs of central lumbar spinal stenosis. One hundred ... -
Hybrid procedures for the treatment of multi-focal ipsilateral internal carotid and proximal common carotid or innominate artery lesions
(2011)We report three cases with concomitant ipsilateral proximal common carotid and internal carotid artery stenosis treated in one stage with carotid endarterectomy and retrograde primary stenting of the common carotid artery. ... -
Impaired elastic properties of ascending aorta in patients with giant cell arteritis
(2005)Objective: To investigate the elastic properties of the ascending aorta in untreated patients with giant cell arteritis compared with age and sex matched normal controls. Methods: Distensibility of the ascending aorta and ... -
The importance of ophthalmic artery hemodynamics in patients with atheromatous carotid artery disease
(2011)Aim. The aim of this paper was to provide an insight on the role of the ophthalmic artery blood flow changes due to significant carotid stenosis and the effects of carotid revascularization on the eye and cerebral circulation. ... -
Laryngeal manifestations and pediatric laryngopharyngeal. reflux
(2006)Pediatric laryngopharyngeal reflux (PLPR) refers to the atypical, otorhinolaryngological, and respiratory manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease in children. PLPR is believed to be an important inflammatory ... -
Left atrial systolic function is depressed in idiopathic and preserved in ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy
(1999)Background Left atrial systolic dysfunction, unexplained by altered loading conditions, has been reported in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy suggesting left atrial involvement in the myopathic process. Materials and ... -
Numerical modeling of simulated blood flow in idealized composite arterial coronary grafts: Steady state simulations
(2007)This paper presents a comparative study of simulated blood flow in different configurations of simplified composite arterial coronary grafts (CACGs). Even though the composite arterial grafting is increasingly used in ... -
Unilateral pulmonary edema due to pulmonary venous obstruction from fibrosing mediastinitis
(2006)An unusual case of fibrosing mediastinitis with obstruction of the inferior and superior left pulmonary veins and severe narrowing of the right pulmonary artery, disclosed after unilateral pulmonary edema, is described. ...
