In particular, hypertension is insidious and remains a continuous problem that evolves during the course of the disease. Hypertension in ADPKD has been associated with abnormality in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). E...

The study was performed to determine whether there is a structural vascular abnormality in normotensive subjects with hypertensive relatives. We examined maximal vasodilator capacity of forearm resistance vessels in 23 normotensive young men (mean blood pressure 94 +/- 0.4 mm Hg, mean +/- SE) with hypertensive relatives (age 24 +/- 0.1 years) and in 17 normotensive subjects (mean blood pressure...

Numerous molecular abnormalities have been described in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), complicating the translation of candidate therapies to patients because, typically, 1 treatment addresses only 1 abnormality. The realization that in addition to pulmonary artery vascular cells, other tissues and cells are involved in the syndrome of PAH (eg, immune cells, right ventricular cardiomyoc...

UNLABELLED Vascular abnormality of the intestine is rare, except angiodysplasia. We report on an unusual case of atypical florid vascular proliferations of the appendix. A 41-year old male presented with melena. Adhesioned blood clots in the appendiceal orifice were observed by colonoscopy. He underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. Microscopically, a tiny exophytic polypoid mass was observed. The...

This study aimed to explore the utility of arterial spin labeling perfusion-weighted imaging (ASL-PWI) in patients with suspected seizures in acute settings. A total of 164 patients who underwent ASL-PWI for suspected seizures in acute settings (with final diagnoses of seizure [n = 129], poststroke seizure [n = 18], and seizure mimickers [n = 17]), were included in this retrospective study. Per...
