Immunohistological characterisation of amyloid deposits in renal biopsy specimens.
The amyloid deposits in 21 renal biopsy specimens were subjected to a detailed immunohistochemical analysis using a panel of antibodies against recognised constituents of tissue amyloid. This was a retrospective study of material originally submitted during the investigation of various renal abnormalities and studied by a routine protocol including histochemistry, electron microscopy, and immun...
متن کاملVertebral Arteries in Healthy Adults
Background and Purpose To noninvasively estimate cerebral blood flow volume, a prospective study of color duplex sonography of the common, external, and internal carotid arteries and vertebral arteries of healthy adults was done. Cerebral blood flow was calculated with the sum of flow volumes in the internal carotid and vertebral arteries of both sides. Methods Using a 7.0-MHz linear transducer...
متن کاملCharacterization of an amyloid fibril protein from senile cardiac amyloid
A protein, ASCA, is isolated from amyloid fibrils extracted from heart tissue of five different patients with senile cardiac amyloidosis (SCA). The proteins of all five patients showed immunological identity when reacted with an antiserum raised against one of the proteins. In contrast, no reaction was obtained with antisera against a variety of other amyloid proteins. The antiserum against the...
متن کاملTargeting prion amyloid deposits in vivo.
The diagnosis of prion diseases in humans is challenging due to a lack of specific and sensitive non-invasive tests. Many forms of human prion disease including variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker (GSS) syndrome, and 10% of sporadic CJD cases are associated with amyloid deposition. Several positron emission tomography (PET) ligands have recently been develop...
متن کاملMultidetector-row CT angiographic findings in the bilateral aortic arch origin of the vertebral arteries.
We recently read the interesting article by Albayram et al (1), which concisely explained the anomalies of the vertebral arteries. We would like to present another rare case of bilateral vertebral arteries originating from the aortic arch. We incidentally diagnosed this condition on the basis of findings on a chest CT scan obtained in a patient with trauma. Our trauma chest CT protocol uses 8 2...
