Anomalous coronary arteries are a rare but recognized cause of myocardial ischemia and sudden death. Identification currently requires x-ray angiography, which may have difficulty defining the three-dimensional course anomalous vessel. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRCA) has been shown to image artery anatomy noninvasively. We hypothesize that MRCA be useful in identification their anatomic course.Sixteen patients (9 men, 7 women, age 44 81 years) with aortic origins by conventional...

Abstract Background Accumulating evidence shows that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential as a cellular therapy avenue for schistosome-induced liver injury. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous released by almost all cell types, and EVs produced MSCs (MSC-EVs) exert therapeutic effects in several disease models. However, of MSC-EVs schistosomiasis treatment remains unclear. Methods Using survival analysis, HE Masson’s trichrome staining, immunohistochemical, western blot...

Objective This study aimed to investigate the association of daily branched‐chain amino acid (BCAA) intake with risks obesity and insulin resistance in children mothers gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods Daily BCAA was calculated by using a validated food frequency questionnaire 996 GDM. The odds ratios (ORs) (95% CI) childhood were obtained logistic regression models. Results multivariable‐adjusted ORs for overweight increased across quartiles ( P < 0.05 trend)....

Background Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a highly aggressive and rare extranodal non-Hodgkin (NHL). The MSKCC the IELSG scores represent most widely used prognostic models, but many changes have occurred in therapeutic protocols since their development. Moreover, PCNSL patients cannot be classified using score. We thus aimed to create novel, effective feasible model for PCNSL. Methods included 248 diagnosed with Our primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) we receiver...
