Anti-Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies are detected in various demyelinating diseases, such as pediatric acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), recurrent optic neuritis, and aquaporin-4 antibody-seronegative neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. We present a patient who developed anti-MOG antibody-positive ADEM following infectious mononucleosis (IM) due to Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection. A 36-year-old healthy man paresthesia of bilateral lower extremities...
Objective: Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) procedures have been found to good short-term results. However, no known reports regarding outcomes of MIAVR via a right lateral minithoracotomy (LT) approach over longer terms presented. The aim the present study was analyze midterm use with LT an 8-year period. Methods: Between September 2014 and February 2023, performed for 348 patients severe stenosis regurgitation at our hospital. Operative mortality, all-cause valve-related...
Histologic evaluations revealed excessive accumulations of macrophages and absence fibroblastic interstitial cells in explanted bioprosthetic valves. Comprehensive gene protein expression analysis histology unveiled an accumulation fibrinogen plasminogen, activator infiltrated macrophages, from degenerated valve surfaces the spaces. These pathologies were completely reproduced a goat model replaced with autologous pericardium-derived aortic valve. Further preclinical animal experiments using...
We investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and optimal timing of treatment for advanced periodontitis in patients undergoing elective heart valve surgery. Dental examinations were given to 209 (aged 65 ± 10 years) scheduled Patients with no or mild assigned as controls (n = 105). underwent tooth extraction curettage 104), 68 whom within two weeks (short wait) 36 longer than weeks, before The three groups (control, short, long similar age, gender, diseased valve, type surgery received....
ABSTRACT Introduction : We evaluated post–noninvasive ventilation survival and factors for the transition to tracheostomy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods analyzed 197 patients using a prospectively collected database with 114 since 2000. Results Among patients, 59 underwent noninvasive (NIV), which prolonged total median time 43 months compared 32 without treatment. The best post‐NIV was associated lack of bulbar symptoms, higher measured pulmonary function, slower rate...
Endovascular stent graft placement has become a major treatment for thoracic and abdominal aneurysms. While endovascular therapy is less invasive than open surgery, it involves the use of contrast medium. Contrast media can cause renal impairment, condition termed as contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). This study sought to evaluate incidence risk factors CIN following aortic aneurysm repair. The included 167 consecutive patients who underwent in our hospital from October 2013 June 2014. was...
Objective:This study aimed to determine the perioperative predictors of contrast medium‐induced nephropathy (CIN) after endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). Materials and Methods:The data 203 consecutive patients who underwent elective EVAR for thoracic abdominal aneurysm between January 2014 September were retrospectively analyzed. CIN was defined according diagnostic criteria European Society Urogenital Radiology. Results:Fourteen (6.9%) developed EVAR. Contrast medium volume (CV),...
WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Empowerment of family caregivers adults with mental health issues has received increasing attention among nurses in Japan and been recognized as a new goal interventions. The Family Scale (FES) was originally developed to measure the empowerment status parents children emotional disorders. However, it later applied broader issues. THIS PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: We Japanese version FES for (FES-AMJ) examined validity reliability parents. Results showed...
Cardiopulmonary bypass causes a systemic inflammatory response, which can lead to capillary leak syndrome. In 15 adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, we determined the volume and peak time of leakage from measurements extracellular fluid circulating blood taken preoperatively, at various intervals up 24 hours after surgery, on 7th postoperative day. Extracellular rose 15.5 +/- 2.7 L preoperatively 4 18.3 3.2 remained elevated hours. Circulating fell 4.10...
We report the case of aortic arch aneurysm rupture treated successfully with thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) accompanied by debranching using chimney graft technique. A 94-year-old man was transported to hospital after complaining chest pain for one day. Contrast-enhanced computed tomographic (CT) images revealed an rupture. Considering patient’s age and postoperative activities daily living, TEVAR used. In order place indwelling stent from ascending aorta periphery, technique used...
Abstract OBJECTIVES In patients with atherosclerotic disease, minimally invasive cardiac surgery using retrograde perfusion for cardiopulmonary bypass via femoral cannulation (FC) carries a higher risk of brain embolization compared antegrade perfusion. However, guidelines selecting versus do not exist. We developed computed tomography (CT)-based strategy and assessed outcomes. METHODS studied 270 patients, aged 68 ± 13, 124 female, body surface area 1.6 0.2 m2. Antegrade axillary (AC) was...
