Background: In the patients with severe atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), the evaluation of long-term clinical outcome after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) has yet been insufficient. The aim of this study was to focus on only patients with severe ARAS and to evaluate the more long-term clinical outcome after PTRA. Methods: We performed a single-center retrospecti...

We reported on the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) finding of a patient in whom severe injury of the cerebral cortex was detected following a hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI).A 67-year-old female patient who suffered from HIBI induced by cardiac arrest after surgery for lumbar disc herniation underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation approximately 20 to 30 minutes after cardiac a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) on split renal function (SRF) in patients with unilateral atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS). METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of all consecutively examined patients at our centre with significant ARAS undergoing PTRA during 2002-07. A significant ARAS was defined as a lesion with a t...

RATIONALE We report on restoration of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS), compressed by an intracerebral hematoma and perihematomal edema following a stroke. The restoration of the ARAS was demonstrated by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). PATIENT CONCERNS In a 60-year-old male, a brain MRI taken at 2 weeks after the surgery showed a hematoma and perihematomal edema in the le...

RATIONALE We report on a stroke patient who showed change of the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS) concurrent with recovery from a vegetative state (VS) to a minimally conscious state (MCS), which was demonstrated on diffusion tensor tractography (DTT). PATIENT CONCERNS A 59-year-old male patient underwent CT-guided stereotactic drainage 3 times for management of intracerebral hemo...

the genetic variation and population structure of narrow-clawed crayfish (astacus leptodactylus) was examined by means of polymerase chain reaction (pcr) restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) analysis of the cytochrome oxidase subunit i (coi) of mitochondrial dna. a total of 194 adult specimens were collected from seven sample sites including, two in the south caspian sea and one each...

The genetic variation and population structure of narrow-clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) was examined by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) of mitochondrial DNA. A total of 194 adult specimens were collected from seven sample sites including, two in the south Caspian Sea and one each...

The shock tube technique was used to study the high temperature thermal decomposition of dimethyl carbonate, CH3OC(O)OCH3 (DMC). The formation of H-atoms was measured behind reflected shock waves by using atomic resonance absorption spectrometry (ARAS) over a temperature range of 1053–1157 K at pressures ~ 0.5 bar. The measured formation of H-atoms is sensitive to the rate constants for the ene...

Abstract Sabanejewia is a member of the family Cobitidae found in Europe and Asia. In previous studies, S. balcanica , caucasica aurata caspia were reported from Turkey. Of these Kura-Aras Basin. We examined morphological characters molecular data specimens Turkish parts river system to determine their taxonomic status. no differences between Kura Aras rivers’ populations terms morphology, but ...
