The present study outlines the clinical profile and patterns of extracranial vascular abnormalities detected by continuous wave doppler ultrasonography (CWDU) in 100 patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency states. Males outnumbered females (65:35); completed stroke (CS) was a more common mode of presentation than transient ischaemic attacks (TIA); carotid strokes were more common than verte...

Castleman’s disease, giant lymph node hyperplasia, is a kind of benign lymphoproliferative disease with gentle behavior. Its etiology and prevalence are unclear. This rare disease is usually found in mediastinal area asymptomatically and incidentally. It is also rare to see this tumor in the retroperitoneum. In this study, we have introduced a 34-year-old woman who referred just with occasional...

Introduction: This study aims to determine the relationship between vascular calcification, carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) and malnutrition with inflammatory parameters in dialysis patients.
 Materials Methods: 140 CKD patients 44 healthy controls were included study. CIMT was measured by ultrasonography. Valvular calcification assessed echocardiography scores (VCS) done base...

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the ultrasonographic findings for various types of vascular closure devices (VCDs) immediately after the angiographic procedure and at 6-month follow-up. METHODS We included 18 VCDs including Angio-Seal (n=4), FemoSeal (n=8), ExoSeal (n=3), Perclose (n=2), and StarClose (n=1) in this study. Four patients were implanted with 2 VCDs at the each side of bilat...

vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a multifunctional cytokine with distinct functions in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, vascular permeability, and hematopoiesis. vegf is a highly conserved, disulfide-bonded dimeric glycoprotein of 34 to 45 kda produced by several cell types including fibroblasts, neutrophils, endothelial cells, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, particularly t ...

Abstract Background Melorheostosis is a skeletal disorder giving rise to dripping wax appearance. The exact cause still unclear, and the diagnosis always challenging due its wide differential diagnoses. Soft tissue involvement of melorheostosis has been reported in previous literatures but it rare phenomenon. Case presentation A 10-year-old child with presented hematuria. Ultrasonography (USG) ...
