Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted a chart review of 149 patients who died in 2011 or 2012, revealing that most died in intensive care, often after withdrawing life-sustaining treatment, with significant reliance on invasive interventions and medications.
- * Findings highlighted varied symptom prevalence among diagnostic groups and showed that while many patients stayed in hospitals during their final weeks, only about half received community-based healthcare at home.
Background: Azathioprine is an immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory drug, and it has been shown to induce apoptosis in human T-lymphocytes. We investigated whether local treatment with azathioprine can inhibit neointimal hyperplasia in experimental vein grafts.
Methods: C57BL/6J mice underwent interposition of the inferior vena cava from isogenic donor mice into the common carotid artery using a cuff technique.
