Renal Artery Stenting Recovered Renal Function after Spontaneous Renal Artery Dissection.

Spontaneous renal artery dissection (SRAD) is a rare entity and the management of this disease has not been established. A 54-year-old man presented with severe flank pain, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography images suggested SRAD in his left renal artery. After two weeks of conservative treatment, stents were placed in the renal artery.

The effect of incremental changes in phonotactic probability and neighborhood density on word learning by preschool children.

Purpose: Phonotactic probability or neighborhood density has predominately been defined through the use of gross distinctions (i.e., low vs.

The effect of homonymy on learning correctly articulated versus misarticulated words.

Purpose: The goal of the current study was to examine the effect of homonymy (learning a second meaning for a known word form vs. learning a novel meaning and novel word form) and articulation accuracy (IN vs. OUT sounds) on word learning by preschool children.

Contrast media injection into right coronary artery caused thrombus extraction to aorta that may have resulted in left main trunk thrombosis.

A 59-year-old man with inferior acute myocardial infarction underwent an urgent coronary angiography and as a result a total occlusion of the ostial right coronary artery (RCA) was observed. Interestingly, the thrombus in the RCA clearly shortened within 2.3 s during the contrast media injection.

Hyperuricemia as a risk factor for progressive renal insufficiency after coronary intervention in patients with chronic kidney disease.

The development of renal insufficiency after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with increases in morbidity and mortality. Recent studies have reported that hyperuricemia (HU) results in hypertension, intrarenal vascular disease, and renal injury. We postulated that HU contributes to progressive renal disease after PCI.
