SCD is a model for chronic and diffuse vasculopathy resulting in tissue infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Much attention has been placed on diffuse endothelial disease in SCD. More recently, diastolic heart failure has been recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the general population and more specifically in SCD patients. However, there has been a paucity of ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (kt) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-spect) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...

statement of the problem periodontitis is a common infectious disease that can be affected by different factors.periodontal conditions can be influenced by systemic diseases and they also can act as risk factors for some systemic diseases. several studies have been carried out on the relationship between cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease. purpose the purpose of our study was to eva...

In emergency and critical care medicine, lung ischemia-reperfusion injury is a prevalent disorder, which has significant morbidity mortality. However, there still lack of effective means to block the injury. Established model mice; histological analysis scoring were helpful assess pathological in tissue; using an enzymelinked immunosorbent assay kit, expressed interleukin-6 interleukin-1 bronch...

Myocardial bridge is a benign congenital anomaly in which a segment of major epicardial coronary arteries descends into the myocardium for a variable distance. Myocardial bridge is most often single and located in the middle part of the left anterior descending artery. The presence of more than one myocardial bridge in coronary arteries is very rare. We present a patient with more than one myoc...

It is of value to determine the amount of viable myocardial tissue in patients suffering from chronic coronary artery disease and ventricular dysfunction. Having the capability of evaluating both myocardial perfusion and function, simultaneously, myocardial scanning by ECG-Gated is an appropriate method for this purpose. The aim of this study was to compare the results of myocardial perfu...

The possible pathways of oxidative stress in anaerobic exercise includes transient and acute muscular deoxygenation, which resembles the ischemiareperfusion, xanthine oxidase activation, catecholamine autoxidation, and NADPH oxidase activation, prostanoid metabolism, phagocyte respiratory burst activity, disruption of iron containing proteins, and altered calcium homeostasis. 5 Mechanical stres...
