HISTOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECT OF URANIUM ON UDDER CELLS.

The addressing this question in udder tissue (main target of the metal) and test here if uranium U at low concentrations could also be a pro-oxidant. The research deals with different groups of grass-fed cows in several locations where the same phenomenon represents a case from Basra/Iraq. The histopathological examination of the udder in cows with (U) revealed hemangiomatous transformation.

Let's put the clues together and find the aetiology in this patient with dilated right heart!

A 39-year-old woman with intermittent palpitations, psoriasis, and a family history of sudden death presented with dilated right heart chambers and an enlarged coronary sinus. Despite a normal bubble study, further evaluation with transesophageal echocardiography revealed an abnormal pulmonary venous return: the left pulmonary veins drained into the coronary sinus. Cardiac computed tomography confirmed this finding, suggesting a partial abnormal pulmonary venous return as the underlying issue.

Midterm Outcomes of Primary and Secondary Use of an Endoanchor System for Thoracic and Abdominal Aortic Endovascular Aortic Repair.

Purpose: To assess the safety, technical success, and midterm outcomes of endoanchor (Heli-FX, Medtronic, Santa Rosa, California) deployment in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) or abdominal endovascular aortic repair (EVAR).

Materials And Methods: This single-institution, retrospective study of all endoanchor procedures was performed from February 1, 2017 to March 30, 2021. All procedures were performed percutaneously by interventional radiologists.

Endovascular repair of de novo post-stenotic aortic coarctation aneurysms with complex collateral supply: two cases with long and medium term follow-up.

Purpose: To report the technical details and outcomes of the endovascular repair of two cases of de novo post-stenotic aortic coarctation aneurysms complicated by complex collateral supply.

Case Presentations: Two patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms complicated by complex aneurysm sac collaterals distal to a previously untreated thoracic aortic coarctation have been treated at our institution. Open surgical intervention was deemed to carry a high risk of haemorrhage due to the degree and complexity of arterial collateralisation.

Vancomycin pharmacokinetics and predicted dosage requirements in pediatric cancer patients.

Purpose: To determine the pharmacokinetic parameters and compare pharmacodynamic target attainment at different dosing strategies of vancomycin in pediatric cancer patients.

Methods: Pediatric patients who received vancomycin and had at least two steady-state concentrations taken within the same dosing interval were identified. Vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from our institution were determined using E-test.
