Perivascular diffusion and white matter free water improve identification of cognitive impairment in cerebral small vessel disease.
INRODUCTION: Cerebral small vessel disease contributes substantially to cognitive decline in older adults, but conventional structural magnetic resonance imaging markers mainly reflect accumulated les...
Anatomical study of the medial sural artery perforator flap and its application in the reconstruction of infected defects.
The medial sural artery perforator (MSAP) flap is widely used clinically for infected soft tissue defect repair and reconstruction due to its numerous advantages. However, the safe boundary of it was ...
Systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction influence the risk and severity of hemorrhagic transformation after endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a frequent and serious complication, occurring in up to 40% of cases after endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Inflammation has...
The complete anatomy of the superior cerebellar artery: a systematic review and meta-analysis with clinical implications.
BACKGROUND: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to provide a comprehensive quantitative evaluation of the origin, morphology, branching patterns, topography, and cranial nerve rela...
Computed tomography angiographic examination of coronary sinus morphometry and spatial orientation: a guide for cardiac resynchronization therapy procedures.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to characterize the morphometric features and three-dimensional spatial orientation of the coronary sinus ostium (CSO) within the right atrium using computed tomography an...
Incomplete celiac trunk with replaced hepatic arteries: a rare cadaveric case and embryologic interpretation.
BACKGROUND: The celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) are developmentally interconnected, and variations in one system often directly influence the other. Although classifications have bee...
Preoperative Risk Stratification of Cerebral Infarction in Aortic Arch Surgery Using Quantitative Atheroma Assessment with Computational Fluid Dynamics.
PURPOSE: We developed a quantitative method to evaluate aortic atheroma and investigated its association with postoperative cerebral infarction (CI) after aortic arch surgery. In addition, computation...
[Acute myocardial infarction complicated by interventricular septal rupture and left ventricular thrombus].
We present the case of a 76-year-old woman, with a history of smoking and dyslipidemia, who was admitted with acute heart failure associated with a holosystolic murmur. The electrocardiogram showed an...
Barrier-to-Design Codes for Organ-Targeted Nanomedicine: A Framework Linking Barrier Phenotypes to Nano-Bio Interface Design and Translational Validation.
Organ-targeted nanomedicine is often defined by anatomical destination, yet delivery performance is determined by the biological barriers, disease-associated remodeling, and nano-bio interface interac...
Analysis of macular and optic nerve vasculature using optical coherence tomography angiography in patients with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1.
PURPOSE: To compare macular and optic nerve head (ONH) microvasculature using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in asymptomatic human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriers ...
Carotid intraplaque neovascularization and cerebral microbleeds: correlation assessed by plane-wave ultrasensitive flow imaging.
OBJECTIVE: Carotid intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is a marker of plaque vulnerability, whereas cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are established markers of cerebral small vessel disease. However, the ...
Endocrine regulation of cardiac fibrosis: implications for HFpEF.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a dominant heart failure phenotype in ageing populations and commonly develops on a background of hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and systemi...
A scoring system for predicting the difficulty of trans-radial cerebral angiography.
BACKGROUND: Despite the growing adoption of trans-radial access in neurointervention, no validated scoring system currently exists to predict procedural difficulty of trans-radial cerebral angiography...
Dielectrophoretic estimation of resting membrane potential in excitable cells.
The cell membrane potential (Vm) is of paramount significance in cell electrophysiology, most notably in excitable cells found in muscle and nervous tissues. Vm is the voltage between the cell interio...
Computational Multieffect Analysis of Blood-Based Trihybrid Nanofluid Flow With Nanoparticles Through a Stenotic Artery.
This study is aimed at examining the computational modeling of the blood flow of a trihybrid nanofluid with nanoparticles such as Ag, Au, and Cu to simulate the hemodynamics parameters and heat transf...
The role of macrophages in aortic physiology and pathophysiology.
The aorta is one of the major arterial vessels in the human body, serving as the principal conduit for the high-velocity blood ejected from the heart. For a long time, its function was largely underst...
Coil only middle meningeal artery embolization for the treatment of subdural hematoma: a single center experience.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAe) has emerged as an effective adjunct or alternative to surgery for subdural hematoma (SDH). While particles and liquid embolic agents...
