The most common anatomical sites of arterial injury in the extremities: A review of 75 angiographically-proven cases
(2006)
The incidence of vascular injury has increased worldwide. In an attempt to quantitate the specific arteries most commonly involved in the extremities, we reviewed 75 patients with extremity trauma who were evaluated with ...
End-tidal CO2 levels lower in subclinical and overt hypothyroidism than healthy controls; no relationship to thyroid function tests
(2011)
Background: Hypoventilation is a frequently suspected complication of hypothyroidism. Objective: In this study we examined the hypothesis that changes in alveolar ventilation, as measured by end-tidal carbon dioxide (Et-CO2), ...
The velum interpositum revisited and redefined
(2008)
Introduction: Descriptions of the velum interpositum (VI) are typically brief and lacking detail in most neuroanatomical and neurosurgical texts. As this structure may be involved clinically or encountered surgically, the ...
Unexplained pulmonary hypertension in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients
(2012)
Objectives: To compare the prevalence of unexplained pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in
hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and to compare laboratory parameters
between patients with unexplained ...
Screening for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in patients with aortoiliac atherosclerosis: A preliminary study
(2008)
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAs) usually present with rupture and carry a high morbidity and mortality rate. Early detection of TAAs with screening methods and elective surgical repair could potentially diminish ...
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 ...
Indirect inguinal hernia of the urinary bladder through a persistent canal of Nuck: Case report
(2007)
We report a 79-year-old female cadaver found to harbor an indirect inguinal hernia involving the urinary bladder. Further investigation revealed a patent canal of Nuck. The authors describe this rare finding in an adult ...
External landmarks for identifying the drainage site of the vein of Labbé : Application to neurosurgical procedures
(2012)
Introduction. The vein of Labbé is an important structure of the lateral cortical surface. However, to date, studies aimed at providing external landmarks for aiding in its identification have been scant. Therefore, the ...
False positive seroreactivity to brucellosis in tuberculosis patients: A prevalence study
(2011)
Background: The rising worldwide incidence of tuberculosis (TB) increases the demand for knowledge about its potential seroreactivity with other microbial agents. A few reports and the authors' experiences indicate that ...
An unusual finding of the posterior cranial fossa: One case report
(2008)
Variations of the posterior cranial fossa can alter surgical approaches to this region and pose a definite hazard if not considered. Inadvertent tearing of these large structures can result in morbidity and even mortality. ...
