There are three historically recognized methods of intra-arterial infusion for oral cancer: Conventional intra-arterial infusion via the superficial temporal artery: Superselective intra-arterial infusion via the femoral artery (Seldinger method), New superselective intra-arterial infusion via the superficial temporal artery. Here we report a recent instance of daily concurrent chemoradiotherap...

Introduction Intravenous iron administration in patients treated by haemodialysis for end stage renal disease can exacerbate oxidative stress by increasing the level of free redox active iron. A way to reduce the impact of iron on oxidative stress in haemodialysis patients may be the administration of iron through arterial extracorporeal circuit. Objective The aim of our study was to compare th...

Impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) and type 2 diabetes (DM-2) are associated with high cardiovascular disease risk. Increases in peripheral and central artery stiffness may represent pathophysiologic pathways through which glucose tolerance status leads to cardiovascular disease. Peripheral artery stiffness increases with deteriorating glucose tolerance status, whereas this trend remains unclear...

Hypotension in septic shock is a reflection of unregulated nitric oxide (NO) production and vascular smooth muscle guanylyl cyclase activation. We examined the effect of methylene blue on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced shock in anesthetized rabbits. Shock was induced with 150 micrograms/kg LPS after measurement of mean arterial pressure, platelet cGMP, and total plasma NO (nitrogen monoxide+S...

Hemodynamic alterations associated with the blood pressure response in subjects with white coat hypertension may provide insight into the pathophysiologic mechanisms of this condition. Systemic arterial hemodynamics were investigated with a recently validated method based on noninvasive estimates of aortic root pressure and flow in 28 subjects with white coat hypertension (diastolic pressure > ...

In the presented case report, we evaluated the mechanism of the external iliac, the common femoral and the superficial femoral arterial thrombosis secondary to total hip arthroplasty. A 75year-old female sufferd from 5.5 cm shorter left lower limb and same sade coxarthritis. Next day after arthroplasty and eqalisation of the lower limbs, an acute ishemia of the treated leg was presented. Multys...
