Non-syndromic thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections--a genetic review.
Thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissections (TAADs) are associated with both high mortality and medical expense. Poor outcomes are preventable by surgical repair; however, identifying individuals at-risk is difficult. Researchers are scanning the human genome to characterize the genetic determinants of TAADs by identifying chromosomal regions, gene mutations, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), ...
متن کاملBicuspid Aortic Valve: Unresolved Issues and Role of Imaging Specialists
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart disease with marked heterogeneity in many aspects. Fusion patterns of the aortic cusp are quite variable with different type and severity of valvular dysfunction. Moreover, non-valvular cardiovascular abnormalities are associated with BAV. Among them, aortic aneurysm/dissection is the most serious clinical condition with variable p...
متن کاملNon-A, non-B hepatitis.
Diagnosis of non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANB) is made after exclusion of other known causes of hepatitis. Parenterally spread non-a, non-B hepatitis (PNANB) and enterally transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis (ENANB) almost certainly appear to be two different diseases. The definite causative agents have not hitherto been identified. Much of our knowledge of NANB is based on (i) experimental studies ...
متن کاملNon A/non B hepatitis.
The concept that human viral hepatitis was caused by no more than two etiologic agents stemmed from early volunteer studies in which two epidemiologically distinct types of hepatitis were transmitted to humans (1). These experimentally transmitted diseases closely resembled two forms of naturally occurring viral hepatitis that could be distinguished on epidemiologic grounds. One form was highly...
متن کاملnon-A, non-B hepatitis
1 Dodecanissou Street, Athens 12351, Greece. Abstract To assess the safety and possible efficacy of recombinant human interferon alfa-2b in preventing the development of chronic hepatitis, 24 adults (eight men, 16 women) with acute non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis were recruited to a pilot study. Half of the cases were parenterally transmitted and half were community acquired. Twelve patients rece...
