OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Atherosclerotic changes in carotid arteries show the extent of systemic atherosc...

Abstract Objective New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits are widely used in interventional radiology research due to their suitability for human-sized treatment and imaging equipment, offering high translational potential. Thi...

OBJETIVO: Analisar a evolução da gestação e partos após tratamento de leiomioma uterino por embolização das artérias uterinas. MÉTODOS: Foram incluídas na avaliação inicial 112 pacientes submetidas a emboliza...

ABSTRACT The study aimed to evaluate the mammary artery of Murrah crossbred buffaloes at different physiological stages using ultrasonography. Twenty-four pasture-raised animals were divided into four groups (n= 6): heif...

ABSTRACT Renal ischemia can be associated with some urological procedures, such as renovascular surgery or kidney transplantation, that are often followed by acute renal failure. The aim of this study was to verify the E...

Abstract Background Carotid atherosclerosis is a kind of systemic atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries. It remains one of the leading causes of ischemic stroke. However, the efficiency of treatment is insufficient. Th...

OBJECTIVE: Atherosclerotic vascular disease (AVD) is the most frequent complication seen in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Evidence suggests that inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of atheroscl...

Abstract Background Heartworms, a cause of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in dogs, can migrate from the pulmonary arteries into the heart resulting in life‐threatening caval syndrome (CS). Objectives To describe clinical ...

A vascularização arterial do timo (número, origem e ordenação) bem como a distribuição parenquimal dos ramos penetrantes foram estudadas em 40 aves da linhagem Paraíso Pedrês. Trinta aves foram injetadas com lá...

IntroductionQuantitative choroidal blood flow assessment is important for understanding chorioretinal diseases. Laser Doppler Holography (LDH) is a new non-invasive imaging technique that provides full-field, high-tempor...

Abstract Wireless bioelectronics demand transduction strategies that are simultaneously sensitive, noise-resilient, and biologically safe. Conventional wireless sensors typically rely on dielectric capacitors with inhere...

PURPOSE: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is an abnormal bone mass in soft tissue, often complicating spinal cord or brain injuries with paralysis. When ossification limits joint amplitudes and becomes symptomatic, surgical...

The antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is characterized by antibodies directed either at plasma proteins bound to phospholipids or at the phospholipids themselves. APS is referred to as primary when it occurs alone...

OBJETIVO: avaliar as diferenças entre o resultado materno e perinatal de gestações complicadas pela pré-eclâmpsia, segundo classificação em sua forma grave/leve e de início precoce/tardio. MÉTODOS: estudo retros...

Abstract An 8‐year‐old Leonberger receiving immunosuppressive treatment with clinical signs of acute dyspnea, cyanosis, and difficulty standing was referred to our institution (Day 1). Treatment including oxygen, clo...

OBJECTIVE: Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is emerging one of the cause of chronic renal failure and end-stage renal disease. The vast majority of cases in elderly are due to atherosclerotic disease. The prevalence of RAS in...

We detected renal ectopy and renal artery anomaly in a young hypertensive patient followed in our clinics. We discussed not the importance of renal ectopy but that of the existence of multiple renal arteries in the etiol...

OBJETIVO: avaliar as repercussões ultra-sonográficas do tabagismo materno na placenta, com ênfase no seu grau de maturação (calcificação), e correlacionar estes achados com o padrão hemodinâmico útero-placentá...

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a vascular lesion characterized by abnormal dilation of the coronary arteries, with complex pathogenesis and diverse clinical manifestations. CAE can be classified into primary and second...

Abstract We simulated the dynamics of a group of 10 nephrons supplied from an arterial network and subjected to acute increases in blood pressure. Arterial lengths and topology were based on measurements of a vascular ca...

OBJECTIVE: Retroperitoneoscopic donor nephrectomy (RDN), a variation of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy technique, has been reported only by a few centers. Here, we aimed to present the preliminary results of RDN at our c...

Vascular calcification arises from osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) driven by disordered calcium signaling. Sarcoplasmic/ER calcium ATPase 2 (SERCA2) maintains intracellular calcium ...

Abstract Background Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is commonly associated with orthopedic trauma, but the diagnosis is challenging with an uncommon nontraumatic cause. It is difficult to discriminate from thrombo-embolism i...

Takayasu arteritis is a vasculitis of aorta and large vessels and it is rarely diagnosed in childhood in Turkey. An 11-year old girl was admitted for the manifestations of hypertensive cardiomyopathy and congestive heart...
