Bacterial sepsis is the major cause of mortality and morbid-
ity among patients (1). The conventional therapy for sepsis includes maintenance of tissue perfusion and treatment of infections. Several pathophysiological pathways that have been determined to be involved in sepsis involve an imbalance between inflammatory and immune responses; these pathways were targeted. Cytokines, especially tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6, together...
متن کاملIs there any change in the pattern of bacterial translocation with increased time of the obstruction?
Introduction: Bacterial translocation is defined as the passage of bacteria from intestinal tract to the extraintestinal organs such as the peritoneum and blood circulation. The aim of this study is to examine bacterial translocation (regarding type of bacteria and effect of time of obstruction on bacterial translocation) from intestinal lumen to the peritoneum and viscera in acute, simple mec...
متن کاملAortic Graft Infection as a Cause of Multiple Brain Infarcts
Brain embolism of cardiac origin is common in clinical practice. However, embolic brain infarcts due to aortic graft infection are very rare. We present a case of a 53-year-old woman with multiple brain infarcts, following an infection of ascending aortic graft. She was presented with fever and acute onset neurological deficit, and she had a previous history of replacement of ascending aorta wi...
متن کاملTadalafil attenuates graft arteriosclerosis of aortic transplant in a rat model
Objective(s): Tadalafil can restore endothelial function and treat atherosclerosis. However, the effect of tadalafil on transplant arteriosclerosis remains unclear. In this study, we explore the effects of tadalafil on allograft vasculopathy. Materials and Methods: Male Brow-Norway rats supplied aorta grafts for Male Lewis rats. All recipients were divided into 3 groups: saline as placebo (con...
متن کاملLate lumen loss in thoracic aortic end graft after endovascular procedure of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm
We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who died due to endograft stenosis 20 months after thoracic endovascular aortic repair. The patient presented with the pseudocoarctation syndrome. Although angioplasty of stenosis endograft was successfully performed, severe metabolic complications were lethal.
