Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography with time-spatial labeling inversion pulse (time-SLIP MRA) in assessment pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM).Methods: Eleven consecutive patients 38 documented PAVMs underwent time-SLIP MRA a 3-tesla unit. Eight 25 lesions were examined twice, once before and after embolotherapy. divided into two groups—initial diagnosis (n = 35) follow-up...
A puerperal vulvovaginal hematoma may continue to grow after a surgical procedure and require blood transfusion. Thus, we selected arterial embolization for hemostasis as the first-line management in two cases of large hematoma.Case 1 was 32-year-old pregnant woman. After delivery, 10-cm vulvar developed. An enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan revealed active bleeding. Arterial performed complete obtained. Case 2 34-year-old woman with recurring delivery. CT extravasation hematoma....
The mechanism that initiates regeneration of pancreatic β-cells is not clear at present. vagal nerve implicated in the regulation gastrointestinal functions, glucose metabolism and proliferation under physiological conditions. To elucidate triggering β-cells, we examined involvement nerve. this end, employed a rat duct ligation (DL) model, which profound β-cell neogenesis were observed within week. We administered atropine to block Administration inhibited both islets islet-like cell...
Pseudoaneurysms (PsA) and arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) of the thyrocervical trunk its branches are rare complications traumatic or iatrogenic arterial injuries. Most such injuries associated with central venous catheterization. Historically, PsA AVF have been managed open surgical repair; however, multiple treatment modalities now available, including ultrasound-guided compression repair, thrombin injection, endovascular repair covered stent placement. We report a case 65-year-old woman an...
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a standard method for treating postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), although uterine vasospasm during UAE may lead to failure of hemostasis. Here, we report our experience with case PPH in which the bleeding was successfully controlled by intra-arterial administration nitroglycerin second UAE.A 30-year-old woman experienced following successful cesarean section, and performed. However, 6 hours later, vaginal restarted; reason unsuccessful first vasoconstriction...
Extracellular matrix (ECM) modulates differentiation of pancreatic β-cells during development. However, the mechanism by which ECM proteins modulate is not totally clear. We investigated effect on in vitro. basement membrane AR42J cells and rat ductal cells. First, we examined reconstituted membrane, Matrigel induced activin betacellulin. augmented insulin production increased expression GLUT2, SUR1, glucokinase. Among various transcription factors investigated, markedly upregulated Pax6....

Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) after surgery has an extremely poor prognosis with a mortality rate of 30–100%. We report patient NOMI following aortic valve replacement who failed to improve despite continuous intra-arterial infusion papaverine, but was successfully treated alprostadil (prostaglandin E1 [PGE1]) infusion. The is 77-year-old man underwent replacement. Due elevated serum lactate levels five hours intensive care unit admission, superior arteriography performed,...
Abstract Despite advances in diagnostic imaging and interventional techniques, pancreatic pseudoaneurysms remain a life-threatening complication of pancreatitis. Presentation varies among patients may include intra-abdominal, retroperitoneal, or gastrointestinal bleeding into the common bile duct. We present unique case 74-year-old man with history heavy alcohol consumption who presented haematoma surrounding caudate lobe liver. Initially, alcoholic cirrhosis ruptured hepatocellular...
術前化学療法は大腸癌肝転移の治療法として確立しており,現在広く行われている.肝切除時の問題点の一つとして,化学療法後に画像上病変が消失もしくは微小病変になることが挙げられる.今回,われわれが試みている術前マーキングを紹介する.
Torsion is the twisting of an object along axis, and various structures (organs tumors) in body can twist. causes initial lymphatic venous outflow obstruction, leading to congestive edema, enlargement, hemorrhagic infarction, surrounding edema. It also cause subsequent arterial obstruction depending on degree torsion, ischemia, necrosis, gangrene, inflammation. Therefore, several cases immediate surgical intervention required improve blood flow prevent serious complications. Clinical...
With the aging of population, physicians need to pay more attention assessing presence or absence pelvic fractures and urinary retention associated with urethral injury due such in elderly when falling from bicycles.
Pulmonary varix is a rare entity that presents as focal aneurysmal dilatation of the pulmonary vein and frequently mistaken for arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). It important to distinguish between PAVM because former does not usually require treatment. We present findings non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography with time-spatial labeling inversion pulse technique in case utility this method differentiating these diseases.
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a rare vascular anomaly, for which transcatheter embolization with metallic coils the standard of care. Although detecting recanalization after embolotherapy crucial, direct visualization residual flow computed tomography or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging generally difficult due to metal artifacts. We present case recanalized PAVM coil detected by ultra-short echo time MR angiography using modified signal targeting an alternative radio...
A 52-year-old woman with right-sided breast cancer was diagnosed a left pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) by computed tomography (CT). Percutaneous embolization of the PAVM after treatment scheduled to prevent paradoxical embolic event. She underwent lumpectomy, followed systemic chemotherapy in combination tangential field radiotherapy. Subsequently, she received endocrine therapy tamoxifen, anastrozole, and exemestane, sequentially. There no change on CT performed during...
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasonographic parameters as an indicator for predicting regional nerve block success. Ultrasound-guided sciatic was performed in seven dogs using either 2% mepivacaine (nerve-block group) or saline (sham-block group). The cross-sectional area (CSA), blood flow (NBF), and shear wave velocity (SWV) (SWV
Abstract In humans, rounded atelectasis is defined as focal lung collapse that radiologically appears a round mass‐like lesion in the periphery of lung. general, human patients with have history pleural effusion and abnormal pleura characteristic CT findings help to distinguish from pulmonary neoplasia without need for invasive surgical biopsy. This retrospective multi‐center case series describes four cats one dog. Chylothorax was seen an eosinophilic lymphoplasmacytic patient. All had...
