Could It Be a Novel Target for Neurogenic Hypertension?

Several decades of investigation have provided unequivocal support for the existence of an intrinsic brain reninangiotensin (Ang) system (RAS) and its involvement in the control of cardiovascular functions.1,2 Essential components of the RAS, ie, renin, angiotensinogen, Ang-converting enzyme, Ang-converting enzyme 2, type 1 Ang II, and type 2 Ang II receptors, as well as various aminopeptidases...

A pelvic mass in a 10-year-old: could it be a Hydatid Cyst?

This article reports a pelvic hydatid cyst in a 10-year-old boy who initially presented with right flank pain. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a cystic lesion containing internal densities, which was found to be a hydatid cyst between the bladder and rectum during surgery.
