Article Synopsis
- Iliac arterial disease, unfavorable anatomy, and prior stenting complicate access in endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR) and thoracic aortic repair (TEVAR).
- Some experts suggest placing an iliac stent before T/EVAR for patients with poor iliac access, but the complications related to this approach are not well-documented.
- This case report details a specific incident of iliac stent migration during TEVAR that resulted in the stent pinching the thoracic aortic endograft, leading to functional aortic coarctation.
The pathophysiological basis for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) remains poorly understood. Certain symptoms of CFS, namely fatigue, neurocognitive symptoms and sleep disturbance, are similar to those of acute jet lag and shift work syndromes thus raising the possibility that CFS might be a condition associated with disturbances in endogenous circadian rhythms. In this study, we tested this hypothesis by examining the circadian rhythm of core body temperature (CBT) in CFS and control subjects.

While the actions of FGFs have been well-studied, the roles played by specific members of the FGF receptor (FGFR) family are poorly understood. To characterize the roles played by individual FGFRs we compared the regulation and expression of the three Xenopus FGFRs described to date (XFGFR-1, XFGFR-2, and XFGFR-4).

We conducted a study to determine whether CFS subjects manifest any abnormality of core body temperature (CBT) that might help explain their fatigue.
Methods: Continuous 24-hour recordings of CBT measured every 5 min were performed in 7 subjects meeting the Centers for Disease Control definition of CFS.
