one of the locations of renal artery atherosclerosis is at the orifice of the renal artery, therefore thestructure of this orifice was assessed in 6 normal, adult male dogs by light microscopy (lm) andtransmission electron microscopy (tem). for the lm study, processed tissues were embedded in paraffinand sectioned serially into 6-μm thickness. sections were stained with orcein. for the tem stud...

To investigate whether mesodermal expansion in the area vasculosa is caused by tension produced by outward migration of cells either in the somatic mesoderm or at the mesodermal edge on an ectodermal substratum, stage 18-20 embryos were transferred to a culture dish. There mesodermal expansion proximal to an arrested edge could be compared with that proximal to a moving edge by measuring the am...

The proximal optimizing technique (POT) -proximal balloon edge dilation (PBED) sequence for side branch (SB) dilatation with cross-over single-stent implantation decreases both strut obstruction at the SB ostium and stent deformation main (MB).

AIM: To determine the prevalence of antralization at the edge of proximal gastric ulcers, and the effect of H. pylori eradication on the mucosal appearances. METHODS: Biopsies were taken from the antrum, body and the ulcer edge of patients with benign proximal gastric ulcers before and one year after treatment. Gastric mucosa was classified as antral, transitional or body type. H. pylori positi...

Serial (baseline and 9-month follow-up) intravascular ultrasound analysis was performed at 5-mm reference segments immediately proximal and distal to the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) in 33 lesions. Proximal and distal reference segments were divided into 1-mm subsegments. Between postintervention and follow-up intravascular ultrasound studies, there were significant decreases in the lumen and ...

BACKGROUND Intravascular ultrasound detects stent edge dissections after percutaneous coronary intervention that are not seen angiographically. This study investigated the association between stent edge dissections and clinical outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS ADAPT-DES (Assessment of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy With Drug-Eluting Stents) was a large-scale, prospective, multicenter study of patient...

Anatomical landmark of A1 pulley is important especially in minimal invasive surgery. The lengths and landmarks of A1 pulleys were evaluated in 510 preserved cadaver digits. The cadavers were 25 females and 26 males aged at the time of death ranged from 48 to 89 years. Measurements of A1 pulley lengths were made and used to predict the landmarks of the proximal pulley margins, which are related...

Background and Aim: Considering the significance of the detection of proximal caries and the limited information available on the diagnostic value of digital radiography after the use of enhancement filters, this in-vitro study sought to compare the diagnostic value of digital radiography with and without the use of the edge enhancement (EE) filter in the detection of proximal enamel caries in ...
