PURPOSE Mural nodules and papillary projections can be seen in benign ovarian endometriosis (OE) and malignant transformation of OE (endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer [EAOC]), which can pose a challenging diagnostic dilemma to clinicians. We identify the preoperative imaging characteristics helpful to the differential diagnosis between benign OE with mural nodules and EAOC. MATERIALS AN...

Left atrioventricular valve regurgitation often occurs as a postoperative hemodynamic complication from repair of an atrioventricular septal defect. In this study, cross-sectional two-dimensional Doppler flow mapping of the left atrium was used to quantify postoperative regurgitant flow in 29 patients. Its severity and location was related to the shape of the three leaflets of the left componen...

Angiogenesis is a multi-step process that culminates in vascular maturation whereby nascent vessels stabilize to become functional, and mural cells play an essential role in this process. Recent studies have shown that mural cells in tumors also promote and maintain vascular integrity, with wide-reaching clinical implications including the regulation of tumor growth, metastases, and drug delive...

Rationale: Compromised development of blood vessel walls leads to vascular instability that may predispose to aneurysm with risk of rupture and lethal hemorrhage. There is currently a lack of insight into developmental insults that may define the molecular and cellular characteristics of initiating and perpetrating factors in adult aneurismal disease. Objective: To investigate a role for the ac...

conclusion most cte findings correlated with cdai and crp in patients with active crohn’s disease. background the accurate evaluation of crohn’s disease activity is important for the treatment of the disease and for monitoring the response. computerized tomography (ct) enterography is a useful imaging modality that reflects enteric inflammation, as well as extramural complications. objectives t...

Magna Sententia is a municipality in the province of Neuquén, Argentina. Situated region traditionally known for its fruticulture economy, sententia has recently been identified as potential location shattering. This development resulted widespread opposition among inhabitants. The fight against breaking into followed several channels, from road blockades to art festivals and legal challenge mu...

In Indian culture folk arts like Aipan Art, Miniature Painting, Bhil Dokra Godna Kalamkari Kalighat Kavad Mural Madhubani Mandala Mandana Pattachitra, Phad Pichwai Sanjhi Warli Painting and many more are passed down from one generation to another without changing its cultural traditional vibrancy, that is why still alive these successfully taught informally. not just expressions of artists, but...

BACKGROUND This study was aimed at developing a myocardial bridge-mural coronary artery simulative device and analyzing the relationship between shear stress on the mural coronary artery and atherosclerosis. METHODS A myocardial bridge-mural coronary artery simulative device was used to simulate experiments in vitro. In the condition of maintaining any related parameters such as system temper...

Endothelial and mural cell interactions are vitally important for proper formation and function of blood vessels. These two cell types communicate to regulate multiple aspects of vessel function. In studying genes regulated by this interaction, we identified apolipoprotein D (APOD) as one gene that is downregulated in mural cells by coculture with endothelial cells. APOD is a secreted glycoprot...
