Expression of the Endothelin-1 Gene and Its Type a Receptor including Physical Activity among Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death, in both Poland and the world. Their development and progression are largely influenced by the lifestyle with the presence/occurrence of classic, modifiable risk factors. Among them, low physical activity plays a significant role.

Differential Diagnosis of Cyclic Vomiting and Periodic Headaches in a Child with Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt: Case Report of Chronic Shunt Overdrainage.

Fourteen months after the implantation of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt catheter, a six-year-old boy developed recurrent, severe headaches and vomiting every three weeks. The attacks were of such severity that hospitalizations for analgesic and antiemetic therapies and intravenous rehydration and electrolyte substitution were repeatedly required. The patient was asymptomatic between the attacks.

Effects of Whole-Body Vibration Training on Lower Limb Blood Flow in Children with Myelomeningocele-A Randomized Trial.

The objective of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of a three-week Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) training on the vascular blood flow of the lower limbs in children with myelomeningocele. The secondary goal was to evaluate the effect of WBV on the ROM of lower limb joints in this population. A total of 30 children with MMC (7-16 years old) were enrolled in the study.

Leg Venous Properties in Children With Myelomeningocele.

The vascular properties of individuals with myelomeningocele (MMC) are an underestimated problem, as evidenced by the lack of relevant research. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the venous properties of the leg in children with MMC. This study compared the duration of retrograde flow (RF) of the distal and proximal sites of the great saphenous vein (GSV) in children with MMC and typically developing (TD) children.

Microsurgical and histological identification and definition of an interdural incision zone in the dorsolateral cavernous sinus.

Objectives: The anatomy of the cavernous sinus is described controversially in a number of publications. In the present cadaveric study, the architecture of the dorsolateral wall of the cavernous sinus is studied microsurgically and histologically.

Materials And Methods: Twenty cadaveric skulls have been dissected through a classical surgical frontotemporal approach.

Anatomical configuration of the Sylvian fissure and its influence on outcome after pterional approach for microsurgical aneurysm clipping.

Background: The sylvian fissure (SF) is the anatomical pathway used in a pterional approach, which leads to most aneurysms. There are four different anatomical variants of the SF described. In the present retrospective study the four different categories of the SF were studied in order to evaluate any correlation of these variants to surgical outcome.
