Embryology of the craniocervical junction and posterior cranial fossa, part II: Embryogenesis of the hindbrain.
(2018)
Although pathology of the hindbrain and its derivatives can have life altering effects on a patient, a comprehensive review on its embryology is difficult to find in the peer-reviewed medical literature. Therefore, this ...
Calcitriol Started in the Donor, Expands the Population of CD4+CD25+ T Cells in Renal Transplant Recipients
(2007)
Objectives: Alloreactive T cells recognize antigens via direct and indirect pathways. The competency of costimulatory molecules on antigen-presenting cells (APC) is important. An active form of vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3, ...
Association of cystathionine beta-synthase polymorphisms and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
(2018)
OBJECTIVE Cystathionine b-synthase (CBS) is involved in homocysteine and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) metabolism. Both products have been implicated in the pathophysiology of cerebrovascular diseases. The impact of CBS polymorphisms ...
The role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase -786آ T/C polymorphism in cardiac instability following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
(2017)
Cardiac abnormalities are observed frequently after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). A subset of aSAH patients develops neurogenic cardiomyopathy, likely induced by catecholamine excess. Genetic polymorphisms of ...
Associations of Endothelin Polymorphisms and Aneurysm Size at Time of Rupture.
(2017)
Aneurysm size is an important risk factor for aneurysm rupture. The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying aneurysm growth remain poorly understood. Endothelin signaling is critical for cerebrovascular blood flow regulation. ...
Association of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 (SERPINE1) Polymorphisms and Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
(2017)
Genetic variations of the serine proteinase inhibitor family E member 1 (SERPINE1) gene, which encodes plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, correlate with serum levels of its product and are associated with thrombophilia and ...
Are the systemic arterial blood, intracranial and intraocular pressures co-regulated?
(2013)
In this chapter, the physiological maintenance of intracranial pressure (ICP) andintraocular pressure (IOP) and their pathophysiological aspects are presented withemphasis on glaucoma and head trauma as two conditions ...
Bilateral accessory middle cerebral arteries associated with an aneurysm of the anterior circulation
(2006)
An accessory middle cerebral artery is one variation of the intracranial vasculature that may be a source of misinterpretation by clinicians dealing with cerebrovascular diseases. We report a case of an elderly female found ...
Embryology and pathophysiology of the Chiari I and II malformations: A comprehensive review.
(2018)
Although the Chiari malformations are well-studied and described developmental anomalies, there remains some incongruity in regards to their underlying etiologies. A number of theories have been proposed with the purpose ...
