Abdominal aortic aneurysm and abdominal wall hernia as manifestations of a connective tissue disorder
(2011)Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and abdominal wall hernias represent chronic degenerative conditions. Both aortic aneurysms and inguinal hernias share common epidemiologic features, and several investigators ... -
Activation of mTOR signaling in medullary and aggressive papillary thyroid carcinomas
(2011)Background. Because mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) may be involved in thyroid carcinogenesis, we investigated the expression and activation patterns of mTOR signaling proteins in thyroid carcinoma cells and tumors ... -
Analytical side-to-side related anastomotic strategies and artery patching
(2015)Suture line stress concentration and intimal hyperplasia are related to the long-term complications of end-toside and side-to-side anastomosis. Several factors, such as hemodynamic effects, biological activities and the ... -
Anatomic Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Anatomic Aimers
(2008)Graft positioning is a key issue in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and even more sensitive in double-bundle reconstruction, where 2 tunnels have to be drilled within the ACL footprints at both the femoral ... -
Anatomy and Complications Following Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Radiological Evaluation and Imaging Pitfalls
(2011)To evaluate the post-operative gastric anatomy depicted by upper gastrointestinal gastrografin swallow studies (UGI) and report radiological work-up and management of complications following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy ... -
Ancient Schwannoma of the Hand
(2011)Ancient schwannoma is a schwannoma subtype, characterized by extensive degeneration and diffuse hypocellular areas. These changes are believed to occur because it takes a long time for ancient schwannomas to develop. ... -
