OBJECTIVE Achieving rigid spinal fixation can be challenging in patients with cancer-related instability, as factors such osteopenia, radiation, and immunosuppression adversely affect bone quality. Augmenting pedicle screws cement is a strategy to overcome construct failure. This study aimed assess the safety efficacy of augmentation fenestrated undergoing posterior, open thoracolumbar surgery ...

Abiotic factors, such as saline stress, can happen in agricultural areas and harm the metabolism of plants. Studies that seek to evaluate acting P. peruviana L. under stress conditions are still incipient. Therefore, objective was tolerance salinity plants different levels irrigation water. The work developed experimental farm Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Campus Pombal, PB, from Janu...

I read with interest two recent Editorials, one by ALBERA and GHIO [1] on eosinophil activation (in eosinophilic pneumonia) and the other by KUBES [2], which discusses plasma extravasation (in animal tissues). While these editorials no doubt deal extremely well with topical notions in these fields, there are a few additional aspects that might be of general interest. With regard to eosinophil a...

Aim: This paper reports a case of mucocele in the left side lower lip treated by conventional surgical excision lesion.Background: Mucoceles are most frequently occurring benign salivary gland lesion.The common site occurrence mucocelein oral cavity is lip. Extravasation type lesion because extravasation mucus secretion into fibrous connective tissue that result from an alterationof minor gland...

a 52-year-old post-menopausal female was admitted to the emergency room due to acute onset of abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant. there was no history of trauma of the abdomen. contrast-enhanced multi-detector computed tomography (mdct) of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a massive right retroperitoneal hematoma and contrast extravasation from a right ovarian artery aneurysm. digital sub...

The influence of chronic arterial hypertension upon the permeability to albumin of the cerebral capillaries, i.e. the blood-brain barrier, was studied in normotensive Wistar and spontaneously hypertensive Wistar rats with experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage. The blood-brain barrier permeability to albumin was assessed quantitatively by spectrophotometric determination of Evans blue extravasati...

The mechanisms by which TGF-β promotes lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) metastasis are largely unknown. Here, we report that in lung ADC cells, TGF-β potently induces expression of DOCK4, but not other DOCK family members, via the Smad pathway and that DOCK4 induction mediates TGF-β's prometastatic effects by enhancing tumor cell extravasation. TGF-β-induced DOCK4 stimulates lung ADC cell protrusion, ...

We describe a case demonstrating active extravasation of contrast material into a hematoma resection cavity during CT angiography (CTA) that necessitated emergent reexploration, decompression, and hemostatic control. Our case highlights the value of neuro-CTA in the immediate postoperative setting and describes another scenario where CTA has added value. Prompt recognition of contrast extravasa...

Arteriographically Visualized Extravasation in Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage • Seven cases are reported in which extravasation of contrast medium from the lateral lenticulostriate artery was observed on cerebral angiography performed in the early stage of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. We advance the theory that continuous bleeding from the ruptured artery with mechanical destru...
