OBJECTIVE—Our aim was to evaluate the long-term effects of transplanted islets on diabetic macro-/microangiopathy in type 1 kidney-transplanted patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A total 34 patients underwent islet transplantation and were divided into two groups: successful islet-kidney (SI-K; 21 patients, fasting C-peptide serum concentration >0.5 ng/ml for >1 year) unsuccessful (UI-K; 13 <0.5 ng/ml). Patients cumulative survival, cardiovascular death rate,...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) in detecting progression Duchenne muscular dystrophy DMD by quantification fat infiltration FI and muscle volume index MVI , a residual‐to‐total ratio). Methods Twenty‐six patients (baseline age: 5–12 years) with genetically proven were longitudinally analyzed lower limb 3T force measurements, functional tests (Gowers, 10‐m time, North Star Ambulatory Assessment, 6‐min walking test)....
Background and Objectives: Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is part of the daily practice most interventional radiologists worldwide. The ideal liquid embolic agent far from being identified. Non-adhesive agents (NALEA) harden outside to inside, resulting in deep penetration, known as “magma-like” progression, which permits a more distal with good control material. This multicenter retrospective cohort study aims assess efficacy, feasibility safety transcatheter ethylene-vinyl...
Abstract Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is a relatively recent diagnostic technique increasingly being utilized in clinical practice. Until recently, there was lack of standardized reporting for CEM findings. However, this has changed with the publication supplement Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS). A comprehensive understanding essential further enhancing its role both screening managing patients breast malignancies. can also be beneficial problem-solving, improving...
To compare breath-hold, three-dimensional, gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography with phase-contrast MR in the evaluation of renal artery stenosis.Fifty-five consecutive adult patients clinical suspicion renovascular disease were prospectively examined and three-dimensional injection a standard dose gadopentetate dimeglumine to evaluate number arteries presence degree stenosis. The reference was intraarterial digital subtraction angiography.Gadolinium-enhanced depicted all...
Cardiovascular disease and the development of coronary artery play a pivotal role in increasing mortality patients with type 1 diabetes. The aim our study was to evaluate effects pancreas transplantation on atherosclerotic risk factors, endothelial-dependent dilation (EDD), progression intima media thickness (IMT) uremia diabetes after kidney-alone (KA) or kidney-pancreas (KP) transplantation. A cross-sectional comparing two groups performed. Sixty underwent KP 30 KA Age cardiovascular...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects islet transplantation on patient survival and diabetic vascular complications.Thirty-seven type 1 uremic kidney transplant patients underwent (KI group). Uremic kidney-pancreas (KP group, n=162), kidney-alone (KD n=42) patients, still hemodialysis (HD+DM n=196) constituted control groups for endothelial morphology.Patient similar in KI KP higher than HD+DM group (P<0.05). Patients experiencing long-term function (KI-successful [KI-s], n=24)...
OBJECTIVE—Diabetes, hypertension, infections, and nephrotoxicity of certain immunosuppressive drugs (i.e., calcineurin inhibitors) can reduce functional survival the kidney graft. Our aim was to evaluate survival, hypertrophy, vascular function graft in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) type 1 diabetic patients after transplant. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—The study population consisted 234 ESRD who underwent kidney-pancreas (KP; 166 patients), successful kidney-islet (KI-s; 24 (KD; 44...
PURPOSE: To compare color Doppler ultrasonography (US) with fast, breath-hold, three-dimensional, gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography in detecting renal arterial stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-five patients clinical suspicion of renovascular disease were prospectively examined intra- and extrarenal US MR angiography. Digital subtraction arteriography (DSA) was the standard reference all for number arteries degree RESULTS: DSA depicted 103 52 stenoses. Color...
To retrospectively evaluate the role of ultrasonography (US) with regard to technique, complications, and therapeutic efficacy percutaneous intrahepatic transplantation human pancreatic islet cells combined US fluoroscopic guidance.The institutional review board approved study, informed consent was obtained from all patients. After kidney transplantation, 34 uremic diabetic patients (20 men, 14 women; mean age, 40.9 years; age range, 29-61 years) underwent cells. Portal vein patency liver...
Islet transplantation alone is an alternative for the replacement of pancreatic endocrine function in patients with type 1 diabetes. The aim our study was to assess impact Edmonton immunosuppressive protocol (tacrolimus-sirolimus association) on kidney function.Nineteen diabetes and metabolic instability received islet therapy according protocol. Serum creatinine (sCr), clearance (CrCl), 24-h urinary protein excretion (UPE) were assessed at baseline during a follow-up 339...
To assess metabolic and oncologic outcomes of islet autotransplantation (IAT) in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery for either benign or malignant disease.IAT is performed to improve glycemic control after extended pancreatectomy, almost exclusively with chronic pancreatitis. Limited experience available other indications malignancy.In addition pancreatitis, IAT were grade C fistula (treated completion left as indicated); total pancreatectomy an alternative high-risk anastomosis during...
Purpose: To retrospectively report a large single-center experience of visceral artery aneurysms (VAAs) and pseudoaneurysms (VAPAs) treated with covered stenting (CS) as the first therapeutic option vs transcatheter embolization (TE). Methods: One hundred patients (mean age 59±14 years; 58 men) underwent 59 elective 41 emergent endovascular procedures to treat 51 VAAs 49 VAPAs. Seventy had TE 30 received CS (27 Viabahn 3 coronary stent grafts). Both were performed in 10 cases. Results:...
Background and Objectives: Roughly 10% of cancer patients experience an episode bleeding. The bleeding severity can range from occasional trivial bleeds to major treatment for the may vary, depending on clinical condition anatomical site, include various strategies, among which TAE is a cornerstone management. However, existing literature tumor hemorrhages inconsistent. objective this multicenter retrospective cohort study was evaluate effectiveness safety arterial embolization in with solid...
Little information is currently available about the role of islet transplantation alone (ITA) on retinal microcirculation. Our purpose was to investigate with color-Doppler-imaging effect ITA after one year blood flow velocities central artery and vein. Central arteries veins both eyes 10 patients were evaluated before transplant. Peak systolic velocity (psv), end diastolic (edv) for maximum (maxv), minimum (minv) recorded compared a control group type 1 diabetic patients. At year,...
