This study has investigated the association between retinal vascular parameters with type II diabetes in Indian population with no observable diabetic retinopathy. It has introduced two new retinal vascular parameters: total number of branching angles (TBA) and average acute branching angles (ABA) as potential biomarkers of diabetes in an explanatory model. A total number of 180 retinal images ...

background major vascular injury during a spinal surgery is a rare but most dreaded complication. case presentation a 39 years old female undergoing microscopic lumbar discectomy suddenly developed severe hypotension on table. the procedure was abandoned and the patient turned supine. it was diagnosed to be a major vessel tear and the patient was taken up for immediate successful vascular repai...

BACKGROUND Vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve is generally accepted as the primary source causing TN. To date, skull base bone deformity associated with ITN has been reported in only a number of case reports. The aim of the present study was to investigate one such skull base deformity, platybasia, in ITN patients in comparison with a randomized control population. METHODS Basal ang...

The laterals of both shoots and roots often maintain a particular angle with respect to the gravity vector, and this angle can change during organ development and in response to environmental stimuli. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the lateral organ gravitropic response are still poorly understood. Here it is demonstrated that the young siliques of Arabidopsis thalinana plant...

A 55-year-old woman was referred to our clinic because of a one-week history of visual loss and raised intraocular pressure in the left eye followed 4 days later by visual loss in the right eye. Slit-lamp examination showed bilateral conjunctival hyperemia, slight diffuse corneal edema, shallow anterior chamber and fixed and dilated pupil in both eyes. Splitting of the anterior layers of the ir...

Vascular loops in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and their relationship to cranial nerves have been used to explain neurological symptoms. The anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) has variable branches producing vascular loops that can compress the facial cranial nerve (CN) VII and vestibulocochlear (CN VIII) nerves. AICA compression of the facial-vestibulocochlear nerve complex can lea...

background â vascular neoplasms are the most common primary splenic tumors that include both benignand malignant variants. one of these variants is hemangioma which is a benign vascular tumor. hemangiomas are slow growing and large tumors are rare. these tumors are most often incidental findings during imaging studies, laparotomy, or at autopsy. case presentation herein, we presented a young la...

background the most common soft tissue tumors during infancy and childhood are vascular lesions. although the vast majority of these lesions have typical clinical features with no need for any further exam, but sometimes atypical superficial or deeply located lesions require complementary studies to be diagnosed and classified. in that way it is also very important to exclude very less common m...

abstract objective: to compare the conventional angiographic findings in extremity trauma patients with or without runoff. methods: this was cross-sectional study including all the patients with extremity trauma who underwent conventional angiography during the 2 year period from 2011 to 2013 in angiography departments of mashhad university of medical sciences. mechanism of trauma, type of inju...

water stress effects on winter and spring leaves anatomy were investigated in experiments conducted at the experimental field of sb university of kerman using five wheat cultivars.xylem and phloem elements diameter and mesophyll, bundle sheath and epidermal cells area were measured in transverse sections prepared from middle parts of the leaves. results showed that significant difference exists...
