Hyperhomocysteinemia induced by excessive methionine intake promotes rupture of cerebral aneurysms in ovariectomized rats. [PDF]
BackgroundHyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is associated with inflammation and a rise in the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in the vascular wall.

Experience and Insight Into Genetic Diagnosis of Infective Aortic Aneurysm. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Culture‐negative infected aneurysms possibly occur in various clinical situations, including prior antibiotic exposure. Accurate microbial identification is crucial for an optimal antimicrobial strategy. 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence analysis would provide a useful tool for precise bacterial identification.

King Aorta: Narrative anatomy education
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of narrative anatomy education and traditional anatomy education on academic achievement. The study included 64 students who were randomly divided into two groups. The two groups were (n = 32) control (Group 1) and (n = 32) experimental (Group 2). The pretest scores of the two groups were 36.
