The effect of irritable bowel syndrome on carotid intima-media thickness, pulse wave velocity, and heart rate variability
(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2014)
Objective: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a subgroup of functional somatic disorders, may be associated with autonomic dysfunction (AD). Heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of autonomic dysfunction, may predict survival. ...
Protective effects of hyperbaric oxygen and iloprost on ischemia/reperfusion-induced lung injury in a rabbit model
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2012)
Background: the role of multiorgan damage in the mortality caused by ischemic limb injury is still not clarified. the objective of this study was to examine the potential protective effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and ...
The clinical utility of vascular mapping with Doppler ultrasound prior to arteriovenous fistula construction for hemodialysis access
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2013)
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of vascular access (VA) procedures performed using physical examination (PE) alone to PE and ultrasound vein mapping for assessment of patients needing hemodialysis access. Methods: Comparative ...
Bilateral pseudoaneurysm secondary to intraarterial tianeptine abuse
(2013)
Mycotic aneurysms occur due to destruction of the vessel wall,
either by infection of a previously healthy artery wall, or through secondary infection of a preexisting aneurysm. Although mycotic aneurysms are
frequent ...
Decreased heart rate variability in irritable bowel syndrome has no effect on carotid intima-media thickness and pulse wave velocity
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013)
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a subgroup of functional somatic
disorders, may be associated with autonomic dysfunction (AD). Heart rate variability
(HRV), a measure of autonomic dysfunction, may predict ...
The effect of different beta-mockers on vascular graft nitric oxide levels: comparison of nebivolol versus metoprolol
(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2014)
Objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the vasodilating beta-blocker nebivolol and the cardioselective beta-blocker metoprolol on nitric oxide (NO) levels at vascular graft endothelium and vasa ...
A Recommendation for modification of the hourglass-shaped resection technique for repair of tall mitral valve posterior prolapse
(Mosby-Elsevier, 2015)
We have read the article entitled
‘‘Hourglass-shaped resection technique
for repair of tall mitral valve posterior
prolapse’’ by Sawazaki and colleagues1
with great interest. They have well
described their novel method ...
Redo-EVAR after surgical repair in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm
(Tabriz Univ Medical Sciences & Health Services, 2015)
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is an adequate means for treating infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, secondary interventions are required in approximately 15% to 20% of patients. the aim of this paper ...
Factors to be considered in aortic repair
(Mosby-Elsevier, 2015)
We read the article by Sch€afers
and colleagues1 with great interest.
Because successful aortic valve repair
aims at restoration of cusp and root dimensions, normal values of human
cusps should be documented.
Biosynthetic versus polytetrafluoroethylene graft in extra-anatomical bypass surgery of takayasu arteritis patients with supra-aortic disease
(Tabriz Univ Medical Sciences & Health Services, 2015)
Introduction: To evaluate treatment outcomes of patients diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis (TA), who underwent extra-anatomical bypass surgery using biosynthetic grafts. Methods: This retrospective study included 12 TA ...
