Background Few studies have investigated structural imaging findings of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in China. The structural imaging [head computed tomography (CT) and routine brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] can assess any parenchymal lesion secondary to the venous thrombosis and reveal direct signs of intraluminal thrombus. In recent years, many patients can be diagnosed with CVT ...

We report on a modified chemical vapor transport (CVT) methodology for the growth of pure and intercalated Zr, Ti, Hf dichalcogenide single crystals, e.g. ZrTe2, Gd0.05ZrTe2, HfTe2, Cu0.05TiTe2. While most common method CVT is carried out in quartz tubes subjected to temperature gradient between charge location, using this isothermal-CVT (ICVT) takes place isothermally sealed placed horizontall...

INTRODUCTION Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is still a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, due to its high variability of clinical manifestations and its lack of a clear therapeutic consensus. SOURCES A search of the medical literature was made through PubMed using the conjoined terms of CVT and epidemiology (428 results), pathophysiology (504 results), aetiology (2714 results...

The natriuretic and diuretic action of a highly selective adenosine A1 receptor (A1AdoR) antagonist, 1,3-dipropyl-8-[2-(5,6-epoxy)norbornyl]xanthine (CVT-124), was investigated in anesthetized rats. CVT-124 (0.1 to 1 mg/kg) caused dose-dependent increases in urine flow and fractional and absolute sodium excretion of by six- to 10-fold and, at 0.1 mg/kg, increased the GFR (1.6+/-0.1 to 2.5+/-0.2...

Strokes in the young account for nearly 30% of all cases of stroke in India1 and cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) accounts for 10-20% of these cases.2 Two-thirds of them develop the same in the post-partum period. In the recent years, a number of inherited and acquired pro-thrombotic states have been identified. However, the exact etiology of CVT remains unidentified in a significant proportion...

With the increase in capacitor voltage transformer (CVT) operation life, CVT impedance changes, and short-time switching of overhead lines, it is very easy to cause a transient oscillation accident which participates, reduce insulation level CVT, even induce regional power grid easily breakdown, after long-term with defects. In this paper, whole network, including generator, grid, consumer, mod...

Elevated serum nonesterified free fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations are detrimental to both the mechanical and electrical function of the heart. A(1) adenosine receptor agonists are potent and efficacious inhibitors of lipolysis; however, their cardiovascular effects have limited their use to lower serum NEFA. Our objective was to determine whether the antilipolytic effect of N-[3-(R)-tetrahydro...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Plasma glutathione peroxidase (GPx-3) is a major antioxidant enzyme in plasma and the extracellular space that scavenges reactive oxygen species produced during normal metabolism or after oxidative insult. A deficiency of this enzyme increases extracellular oxidant stress, promotes platelet activation, and may promote oxidative posttranslational modification of fibrinogen...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is currently a major clinical challenge. We proposed a novel magnetic resonance black-blood thrombus imaging technique (MRBTI) for detection and quantification of CVT. METHODS MRBTI was performed on 23 patients with proven CVT and 24 patients with negative CVT confirmed by conventional imaging techniques. Patients were...

INTRODUCTION Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) affect prevalently young adults and represent the main cause of neurological disability after trauma in this population (1). Multiple sclerosis (MS), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and neuromyelitis optica (NMO) are the most common inflammatory-demyelinating disorders of the CNS (1, 2). Multiple sclerosis shar...
