Up to date several authors discussed interactions between cells forming inflammatory infiltrates in the course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mainly dealing with endoscopic biopsy specimens. These usually contain only mucosa. We have evaluated full bowel wall sections, which seems to be especially important in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The purpose of our study was to evaluate th...

AIM Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and the most aggressive primary brain tumor with poor prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the association between immunohistochemical expression of survivin and angiogenic parameters (microvessel density and vascular pattern) in patients who underwent surgery for GBM. MATERIAL AND METHODS The pathology reports and also clinical and follow-up data of patie...

Blood flow distribution within the myocardium and the location and extent of areas at risk in case of coronary artery disease are dependent on the distribution and morphology of intramural vascular crowns. Knowledge of the intramural vasculature is essential in novel multiscale and multiphysics modeling of the heart. For this study, eight canine hearts were analyzed with an imaging cryomicrotom...

hemangioma of the ovary is reported in a 66 years old woman. vascular tumors of the female genital tract are rare, especially those of the ovaiy. most cases are discovered incidentally. the case presented here was missed clinically.

Acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) proteins form extracellular proton-gated, cation-selective channels in neurons and vascular smooth muscle cells and are proposed to act as extracellular proton sensors. However, their importance to vascular responses under conditions associated with extracellular acidosis, such as strenuous exercise, is unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determi...

As part of a population survey and a follow-up study of plasma lipid profiles by high temperature gas-liquid chromatography, we have determined the quantities and relative proportions of all major chemical classes and molecular species of lipids of plasma from 1200 subjects at Visit 2 of the Toronto-McMaster Lipid Research Clinic Prevalence Study. We have compared these values between our 24 su...

background major vascular injury during a spinal surgery is a rare but most dreaded complication. case presentation a 39 years old female undergoing microscopic lumbar discectomy suddenly developed severe hypotension on table. the procedure was abandoned and the patient turned supine. it was diagnosed to be a major vessel tear and the patient was taken up for immediate successful vascular repai...

background: considering the importance of using more appropriate imaging technique for accurate diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism (pte) with less side eff ects, we aimed to evaluate the quality of pulmonary 64-multidetector computed tomographic (mdct) angiography in pregnant and postpartum women with suspected pte in isfahan. materials and methods:in this descriptive study, radiological fi...

Background and objective: Vascular obstruction and impaired blood flow and oxygen delivery cause a myocardial infarction and limit a personchr('39')s function. Therefore, finding a way to create new arteries and replace blocked arteries has always been of interest to researchers, including exercise physiologists. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of moder...
