The hyponatremic hypertensive syndrome is a rare but serious complication of reno-vascular disease. The syndrome is characterized by hypertension and profound natriuresis, leading to body sodium and water depletion. Hypertension is typically refractory to treatment. We report an 82-year-old patient with this syndrome and describe the results of an audit of the clinical records of patients admit...

Objective(s): Apelin/APJ system plays an important role in the regulation of myocardial contractility (MC) and blood pressure. Opioid receptors (OPRs) are also important cardiovascular regulators and exert many of their effects through modulating the function of other systems. This study analyzed the interaction between APJ and kappa OPRs (KOR) in cardiac responsiveness to apelin in acute reno-...

The pathogenesis of essential hypertension, congestive heart failure, and reno-vascular hypertension is related to angiotensin II. This study presents QSAR modeling for a set compounds acting as II receptor antagonists based on the Monte Carlo optimization with molecular graph-based SMILES notation descriptors. Conformation independent models were developed three random splits. Various statisti...

case presentation we reported a 2-year-old boy with pph, who presented unusual and intractable seizure which suggested the diagnosis of md. we also reviewed a few previous reports about the association of pph with moyamoya disease. discussion moyamoya disease is a kind of cerebral vasculopathy and should be considered as a differential diagnosis for patients with unusual seizure attacks who are...

takayasu’s arteritis (ta) is a rare case of granulomatous arteritis which mainly involves the aorta and its large branches. although arterial hypertension is the most common feature of the disease in both adults and children, patients with ta may present with numerous clinical manifestations. our patient was a 45-year-old woman, known to have hypertension from 3 years earlier following assessme...

Nutcracker syndrome occurs when the left renal vein (LRV) is compressed between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta, and this syndrome is often characterized by venous hypertension and related pathologies. However, invasive studies such as phlebography and measuring the reno-caval pressure gradient should be performed to identify venous hypertension. Here we present a case of Nutcracke...

Takayasu arteritis is also known as pulseless disease and an autoimmune with unknown etiology which a rare type of chronic granulomatous vasculitis involving inflammation in the wall aorta its main branches such carotid, coronary, pulmonary renal arteries. The left subclavian artery most frequently involved vessel. can lead to narrowed walls that may tear, bulge ...
