Simultaneous Volumetric T1 and T2 Mapping With Blood‐ and Fat‐Suppression in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop and validate a protocol for simultaneous volumetric T1 and T2 mapping with blood‐ and fat‐suppression, and apply it to patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) to assess tissue characteristics. Methods A spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) variable flip angle (VFA) acquisition was modified with preparation modules to suppress

Tissue‐retained needles in people who inject drugs: A systematic review of case reports and series on clinical presentations, complications and management

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Tissue‐retained needles from intravenous drug use can cause rare but severe complications, ranging from local to systemic infections to needle embolization. Due to the limited evidence and the lack of epidemiological studies on the issue, we systematically reviewed the literature focusing on case reports and case series on ...

Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm

Journal of British Surgery, 1986
Abstract Between 1974 and 1984, 174 patients with ruptured abdominal aneurysms have been treated by three vascular surgeons. The 11-year period showed a dramatic increase in the number of patients presenting with ruptured aneurysms. The overall operative survival, including patients who died before a graft could be inserted, was 67 per ...

Thrombospondin‐4 is upregulated in abdominal aortic aneurysm: A vasoprotective response with potential therapeutic relevance

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
TSP4 is upregulated in human and experimental AAA. TSP4 knockdown accelerated AAA formation and exacerbated both vascular inflammation and remodelling, emphasizing that TSP4 upregulation may represent a protective response against AAA. Our findings suggest that preserving TSP4 could be a useful strategy in the clinical management of AAA.

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 ...

Association Between Perioperative Sleep Disorders and Post‐Operative Delirium in Cardiac Surgeries: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Overview of studies included in the systematic review investigating the association between perioperative sleep disorders (PSD) and postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. ABSTRACT Post‐operative delirium (POD) is an acute deterioration in cognitive function and highly prevalent after cardiac surgery (CS; up to 55 ...
