The Historical Evolution of Academic Surgery at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Surgical teaching and research at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital has evolved substantially since the hospital was opened in 1882. Economic constraints, World Wars, developments in technology, changes to healthcare policy and society's expectations have all presented opportunities and obstacles, and ultimately shaped the current practice of ...

Immune Modulation as a Treatment for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]

, 2018
In the United States, over 200,000 new patients are diagnosed with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) each year. Consequently, over 40,000 highly morbid aortic reconstructions are performed each year to prevent aneurysm rupture, a catastrophic event ...

Metformin and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm [PDF]

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2017
Recently published data from a number of sources appear to suggest that the oral hypoglycaemic agent metformin may prevent abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development, attenuate growth, and perhaps even prevent rupture. Previous studies have hinted that hypoglycaemic agents might reduce AAA expansion.1 The latest data, specific to metformin are ...

Prevalence and impact of additional CHIP mutations in JAK2V617F‐positive ischaemic cerebrovascular patients

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary The JAK2V617F mutation is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, including ischaemic stroke. This study investigates the prevalence of additional mutations in ischaemic cerebrovascular patients with and without JAK2V617F to better understand the mechanisms contributing to thrombotic risk.

Targeting acetylated high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) and toll‐like receptor (TLR4) interaction to alleviate hypertension and neuroinflammation in fructose‐fed rats

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Our previous study reported that fructose intake increased systemic blood pressure and reduced nitric oxide (NO) in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) due to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. However, it remains unclear how reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduce NO and how this process impacts neuroinflammation in ...

Two cases of pararenal artery aortic aneurysm treatment after pancreaticoduodenectomy and abdominal aortic aneurysm stent grafting

Surgical Case Reports
Background Acute pancreatitis caused by surgical procedures may occur less frequently in surgeries for aortic aneurysm involving the abdominal branch. However, in such cases, the associated mortality rate increases significantly.

Consecutive failing proximal landing zones

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
We report the case of a 77-year-old man who presented with successive aortic aneurysms during a 12-year period. He was first treated in 2006 for an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a bifurcated endograft, then in 2016 for a tender type IV thoracoabdominal ...

Statin intensity and postoperative mortality following open repair of intact abdominal aortic aneurysm. [PDF]

, 2018
BackgroundThere is a lack of evidence for the association between intensive statin therapy and outcomes following vascular surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between perioperative statin intensity and in-hospital mortality ...

MFG‐E8 Accelerates Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Formation by Enhancing ERK MAPK/NOX4 Axis‐Associated Oxidative Stress

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
MFG‐E8 promotes oxidative stress by upregulating NOX4 and activating the MAPK pathway, which increases ROS production and affects vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) apoptosis, thereby driving the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Resveratrol can inhibit the expression and function of MFG‐E8, reduce ROS generation, and lower the incidence ...

Idiopathic Retroperitoneal Fibrosis Presenting with Hypertension and Acute Renal Failure

İstanbul Medical Journal, 2017
Abdominal aortic aneurysm can rarely cause retroperitoneal fibrosis secondary to the leakage of inflammatory cells from aortic plaques to the retroperitoneal area.
