Role of interventional radiology in treating obstetric haemorrhages.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of selective uterine artery embolisation in patients with a high risk of haemorrhage due to obstetric issues.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the angiographic examinations of 63 patients (average age ± SD, 32.6 years ± 4.

Neuropathic pain and reactive gliosis are reversed by dialdehydic compound in neuropathic pain rat models.

The role of the purinergic system in the modulation of pain mechanisms suggests that it might be promising target for treating neuropathic pain. In this study we evaluated the effects of two different dialdehydic compounds: a modified stable adenosine (2-[1-(6-amminopurin-9-il)-2-osso-etossi]prop-2-enale, named MED1101), and oxidized ATP (Ox-ATP), in two different neuropathic pain rat models: the sciatic spared nerve injury (SNI) and paclitaxel evoked painful peripheral neuropathy (pPPN). Neuropathic animals were divided in groups as follows: (a) treated with intraperitoneal (i.
