Therefore, a long-term behavioral study was undertaken to det...

1. Changes in brain and hind-limb blood flow and metabolism have been studied in six dogs before and after the acute shunting of portal vein blood into the systemic circulation. 2. An initial increase in brain blood flow, oxygen and glucose consumption was found. 3. More prolonged shunting caused a fall in flow and in oxygen and glucose utilization by the brain. 4.

متن کاملEmergency Portasystemic Shunting in Cirrhotics With Bleeding Varices — A Comparison of Portacaval and Mesocaval Shunts

One hundred patients with cirrhosis and uncontrolled bleeding were treated with emergency portasystemic shunts between 1968 and 1983. Fifty eight patients had end-to-side portacaval shunts and 42 had Dacron interp...
