Does this patient have jugular venous distension? Vein finder‐enhanced assessment of jugular venous pressure

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Assessing jugular venous pressure (JVP) may be challenging yet useful for establishing the bedside diagnosis of congestive heart failure. Vein finder lights illuminate superficial veins and thus can improve visualization of the external jugular vein.

The perfect crime? : CCSVI not leaving a trace in MS [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, believed to be triggered by an autoimmune reaction to myelin.

Internal Jugular Vein Phlebectasia in a Child: A Case Report

Oman Medical Journal, 2019
Neck swellings that appear on straining, crying, and Valsalva maneuver are usually suggestive of laryngocele. Phlebectasia of jugular veins can cause a similar sign but is rare compared to laryngocele.

Ultrasonic analysis of the anatomical relationships between vertebral arteries and internal jugular veins in children

Paediatric anaesthesia, 2012
Background:  Accidental puncture of the vertebral arteries (VAs) can occur through the internal jugular veins (IJVs) during central venous catheterization (CVC).

Ligation of the Jugular Veins Does Not Result in Brain Inflammation or Demyelination in Mice

PLoS ONE, 2012
An alternative hypothesis has been proposed implicating chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) as a potential cause of multiple sclerosis (MS). We aimed to evaluate the validity of this hypothesis in a controlled animal model.

Ultrasound Guided Placement of Single-Lumen Peripheral Intravenous Catheters in the Internal Jugular Vein [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: The peripheral internal jugular (IJ), also called the “easy IJ,” is an alternative to peripheral venous access reserved for patients with difficult intravenous (IV) access.

A unique variation of the jugular veins and its clinical significance

Folia Morphologica
The authors report a rare variation of the anterior jugular and internal jugular veins in a 78-year-old male donor. An enlarged and curved left anterior jugular vein (AJV) was formed as the continuation of the left common facial vein (CFV).

Deficiency of SCAMP5 Triggers Pancreatic β‐Cell Secretory Dysfunction and Apoptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that hyperglycemia in diabetes activates ChREBP, which epigenetically represses SCAMP5 expression in pancreatic β‐cells. This SCAMP5 deficiency impairs insulin secretion by downregulating the calcium channel CaV1.2. Furthermore, reduced SCAMP5 triggers β‐cell apoptosis by stabilizing VDAC1 and enhancing its interaction with Bax,

BACE2‐Induced Aberrant Lymphatic Network Aggravates the Local Inflammation in Arteriovenous Fistulas With Hyperphosphatemia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‐C secreted by Pi16+ fibro‐progenitors lays the foundation of lymphatic network in mouse arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), whereas the elevated phosphate (Pi) in 5/6‐nephrectomy (Nx) mouse activates p‐ERK/p‐SP1/BACE2 pathway to generate additional soluble VEGFR‐3, which causes VEGF‐C unresponsiveness and defective ...
