Published: September 2021

Using entry and re-entry analysis we report a simple technique designed to solely manage the fenestrations in an aortic aneurysm caused by chronic type A or B dissections. With meticulous computed tomography mapping of each fenestration, endovascular management can be customized to those areas only. Several cases are presented using this selective approach resulting in durable thrombosis of the false lumen. Targeted coverage of fenestrations in a chronic type B dissecting aneurysm is a feasible and effective management option resulting in reliable false lumen occlusion whilst maintaining visceral perfusion.

Background: The estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is essential in the early detection of diabetic nephropathy. We herein compare the performance of common eGFR formulas against a gold standard measurement of GFR in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Methods: GFR was measured in 93 patients with diabetes mellitus using iohexol clearance as the reference standard.

Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effect of DM (Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes) and hyperglycaemia on the physical and mechanical properties of dentine which is critical for successful endodontic treatment.

Method: An electronic search of the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science and the grey literature was performed up until July 2024. In vitro and in vivo studies on the effect of DM or hyperglycaemia on the mechanical and physical properties of dentine were included.

This study discusses disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) associated with solid cancers and various vascular abnormalities, both of which generally exhibit chronic DIC patterns. Solid cancers are among the most significant underlying diseases that induce DIC. However, the severity, bleeding tendency, and progression of DIC vary considerably depending on the type and stage of the cancer, making generalization difficult.
