Management of a dislocated endovascular aneurysm repair in a challenging giant abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Introduction A case report of a contained rupture of an abdominal aneurysm, treated by endovascular technique (EVAR), but complicated by perioperative endoprosthesis limb dislocation. Case report An 81-year old male presented at the emergency department with a contained rupture of an infrarenal aortic aneurysm and bilateral extensive iliac aneurysmatic disease. Open repair was no option, due to the pulmonary condition.

Mycotic Aneurysm of the Popliteal Artery Secondary to Enterococcus Endo-carditis : a Case Report.

A mycotic popliteal aneurysm (MAAP) is a very rare condition [1]. We describe a 87-year-old Caucasian male who presented with a MAAP of the right leg due to an enterococcus mitral valve endocarditis. The aneurysm was excised and a reversed vein graft was interposed between the normal popliteal artery and the posterior tibial artery.

Chondrosarcoma of the thoracic wall.

Eight cases of chondrosarcoma of the thoracic wall were treated during a 13-year period. The radicality of tumor resection was positively correlated with patient survival. Wide primary resection without preceding biopsy is advocated for thoracic lesions suspected from computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to be chondrosarcoma.

Analysis of the gibberellin-responsive promoter of a cathepsin B-like gene from wheat.

A wheat gene (A121) encoding a protein with sequence similarity to mammalian cathepsin B is regulated by gibberellic acid (GA) in aleurone layers of germinating grains. To analyse the mechanism of A121 regulation, its promoter was fused to the beta-glucuronidase reporter gene (GUS) and introduced by micro-projectile bombardment into aleurone layers of oat. With 2.

Cytokinin treatment of embryos inhibits the synthesis of chloroplast proteins in Norway spruce.

A pulse treatment of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) embryos with the cytokinin N(6)-benzyladenine induces the formation of adventitious buds from subepidermal cells in the hypocotyl and cotyledons. In addition the treatment also inhibits elongation growth, a key process during germination.
