We examined effects of normal (NS) and high salt (HS) on blood pressure (BP) cortico-medullary distribution dopamine D1 receptor (D1R), angiotensin AT1 (AT1R), NADPH oxidase-gp91phox, sodium transporters (NHE-3, Na, K ATPase) in adult aged rats. Aged rats fed with NS diet had higher BP, which further increased HS. HS D1R mRNA protein levels cortex medulla or fed-aged AT1R gp91phox medulla. cortex. NHE-3 ATPase urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) but not albumin These results suggest...
This multicenter study aimed to compare demographic, operative, and short-term outcomes data between open minimally invasive surgical approaches for craniosynostosis repair utilizing the American College of Surgeon's National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric (NSQIP-P) database highlight disparities among races ethnicities.Retrospective review large database.Freestanding general acute care children's hospitals, hospitals within a larger hospital, specialty or with pediatric...
A literature gap exists comparing whole head shape outcome following correction of sagittal craniosynostosis. The objective this multicenter study was to provide an analysis long-term results three different endoscopic strip craniectomy techniques for craniosynostosis: 1) spring-assisted craniectomy, 2) wide-strip with biparietal and bitemporal barrel-stave wedge osteotomies plus helmet orthosis, 3) narrow-strip orthosis without barrel staves.Pre- postoperative 3D stereophotogrammetric...
Since the beginning of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in early March, there has been a push to expand virtual patient care visits instead in-person clinic visits. Studies have found that telemedicine can provide efficient triaging, reduction emergency room visits, and conservation health resources personnel. Although implicated providing similar outcomes traditional face-to-face patients affected with 2019, are lack studies on effectiveness (VCVs) for craniosynostosis or deformational...
This study aims to investigate the correlation between quality of cleft lip scar and velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI).
PURPOSE: There is currently a literature gap comparing entire head shape outcome following correction of sagittal craniosynostosis. This multi-center study provides analysis long-term results three different endoscopic strip craniectomy techniques for craniosynostosis: spring-assisted craniectomy, wide-strip with biparietal and bitemporal "barrel stave" wedge osteotomies plus helmet orthotic, narrow-strip orthotic without barrel staves. METHODS: Preoperative postoperative 3D...
Tissue expansion (TE) in pediatric surgery provides vascularized tissue to attain functional and esthetic goals a broad range of reconstructive procedures. Our study evaluates the demographic, operative, short-term outcomes TE patients utilizing American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric (NSQIP-P) database highlights factors associated with postoperative complications.Retrospective review large multicenter 402 that underwent within NSQIP-P from 2013...
Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (FD) involves thickening of the skull and facial bones, causing asymmetry distortion overlying soft tissues. Surgical contouring is often performed with rotary bur or osteotome, goal matching contralateral unaffected anatomy. This made technically challenging by having no direct visualization structures, desire to control depth resection match contour side. In our report, a 13-year-old male presented for surgical evaluation craniofacial FD affecting right...
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute acquired autoimmune inflammatory disorder of peripheral nerves and roots. The pathogenesis essentially aberrant post-infectious immune response in a genetically susceptible host milieu. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) genes encoding the mediators like TNF-α, CD1A CD1E can influence their expression level susceptibility clinical course disease GBS.We tried to study single TNF-α CD1 Indian population determine association terms genotype, allele...
Background: Patients with cleft lip often have a secondary cleft-lip deformity (SCLD), resulting from the initial repair procedure for their congenital cleft. SCLD undergo multiple surgeries to achieve symmetry of and nose. However, little is known about how patients perceive deformity, if those deformities are noticeable peers. The purpose this study use eye-tracking evaluate look at themselves perception changes when same photo perceived by 2 different cohorts: who undergone control...
Introduction: Limited health literacy has been associated with poor outcomes in the general population, but there have few studies investigating association between functional and kidney transplant listing. The primary objective of this study was to determine if listing after controlling for demographic, psychosocial, medical variables, which were secondarily examined correlation Design: We retrospectively reviewed 423 candidates who prospectively administered Test Functional Health Literacy...
