BACKGROUND A common dilemma in the management of pelvic fractures is recognizing the presence of associated abdominal injury. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between initial therapeutic intervention (laparotomy or transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE)) and mortality. METHODS This was a cohort study using the Japan Trauma Data Bank between 2004 and 2010, includin...

Because the kidneys in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) are usually supplied by well-developed arteries, the authors attempted renal contraction therapy in such patients with renal transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) using intravascular coils. In most patients with marked nephromegaly, renal TAE was effective. However, in patients with marked hepatomegaly...

BACKGROUND Yanhusuo (Corydalis yanhusuo W.T. Wang; YHS), is a well-known traditional Chinese herbal medicine, has been used in China for treating pain including chest pain, epigastric pain, and dysmenorrhea. Its alkaloid ingredients including tetrahydropalmatine are reported to inhibit cytochromes P450 (CYPs) activity in vitro. The present study is aimed to assess the potential of total alkaloi...

In texture learning, observers are presented with repeated stimulations, resulting in within-day threshold elevation, as well as between day threshold reductions. Within-day deteriorations were shown to be location and orientation specific (Mednick et. al., 2002; Ofen et al., 2007). Accordingly, the declined performance was suggested to reflect sensory adaptation. Here we test whether extensive...

We report that a case of primary abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), caused by blunt liver injury under the oral anticoagulation therapy, was successfully treated. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was initially selected, and the bleeding point of hepatic artery was embolized with N-Butyl Cyanoacylate (NBCA). Secondary, percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) was performed for massive he...

The tilt aftereffect (TAE) is a visual illusion in which prolonged adaptation to an oriented stimulus causes shifts in subsequent perceived orientations. Historically, neural models of the TAE have explained it as the outcome of response suppression of neurons tuned to the adapting orientation. Recent physiological studies of neurons in primary visual cortex (V1) have confirmed that such respon...

Proline contents of parotid glands (PG) in pigs constantly increase after the inclusion of different amounts of ripe hulled acorns in the diet providing high polyphenols levels. The dose-response relationship was estimated on natural hydrolizable tannins (expressed as tannic acid equivalent TAE) amounts of 25.8 to 36.1 g TAE/kg DM in experimental diets. Macroscopic and histological morphometry ...

Cases Transarterial embolization of bilateral internal iliac arteries (TAE) is a useful hemostatic method for the management of pelvic fracture patients, but its effects on urinary functions remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated the impact of TAE on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in 10 pelvic fracture patients. Outcomes Lower urinary tract symptoms before and after hospitalization ...

Resonant energetic particles play a major role in determining the stability of toroidal Alfven eigemnodes (TAE’s) by yielding the well-known driving mechanism for the instability and by producing an effective dissipation, which removes the singular character of local oscillations of the shear-Al&n continuum and gives discrete kinetic Alfven waves (KAW’s). Toroidal coupling of two counterpropaga...
