BACKGROUND To examine whether prenatal exposure to parental type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or gestational diabetes is associated with an increased risk of malignant neoplasm or diseases of the circulatory system in the offspring. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We conducted a population-based cohort study of 1,781,576 singletons born in Denmark from 1977 to 2008. Children were followed for up t...

The circulatory system comprises a tubular network of blood vessels including arterioles, capillaries, venules, and lymphatic vessels. This circulatory system is essential for the embryonic development and maintenance of all tissues, which requires the transportation of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrition. The system regulates the movement of fluid into and out of organs with high level of ef...

The goal of fixation is to rapidly and uniformly preserve tissue in a life-like state. While placing tissue directly in fixative works well for small pieces of tissue, larger specimens like the intact brain pose a problem for immersion fixation because the fixative does not reach all regions of the tissue at the same rate (5,7). Often, changes in response to hypoxia begin before the tissue can ...

Management of patients with end-stage cardiac disease remains a vexing problem. Limitations in medical management and a fixed supply of donor organs for cardiac transplant have a continued impact on this growing population of patients. Mechanical circulatory support has proved very successful as a means of bridging patients to cardiac transplant when all medical options have been exhausted. The...

Since the circulatory and pulmonary systems are both driven by pressure and share space in the thorax, it is inevitable that they interact. These mechanical interactions, whilst relatively few in number, are protean in their manifestations. The circulatory system of the critically ill is often particularly susceptible to interference from respiration. Compensatory reserve is limited, ventilator...

The work examined the level of functional state circulatory system in children 9, 11, and 12 years old. It was found that among schoolchildren different ages, system, therefore physical state, differs markedly: at primary school age, a large percentage with an average RFS is 38%, 11 old this indicator significantly worsens increases to 70 %. A comparison indicators groups ages shows negative re...

Background: In response to the need for diagnosis and treatment, medical radiation has been increasingly used worldwide. This study investigated the medical utilization of radiation-related diseases among radiological technologists (RTs) and factors that influence such diseases. Materials and Methods: Data were collected from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. A panel study...

Diseases of the circulatory system are the main causes of death and drivers of health care costs in Lebanon. However, no study has yet tried to assess the burden of such diseases in Lebanon. This study set out to estimate the incidence and prevalence of major diseases of the circulatory system by using physician-reported data. For this purpose, a sample of physicians treating such diseases (car...

The Medos/HIA-System is a new pneumatically driven system for mechanical circulatory assist. The system is characterized by excellent efficiency at high heart rates and is available with three ventricles of 10, 25 and 60ml stroke volume. It can be used as left-, right- or biventricular assist device. Our preliminary experiences with this novel system for support of infants and children are repo...

sheep conjoined twins have been reported less than cow. an apparently female conjoined twin lambs was examined based on external and internal features. in radiology, two vertebral columns and two pairs of the ribs were seen. only two heads and two necks were separated (thoraco-omphalopygopagus). there were three forelimbs (tribrachius), one of which grew on dorsal region as a notomelus.  teat b...
