Treatment strategies for unruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysms associated with celiac artery occlusion

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 182-189, January 2023., 2023
Since celiac artery occlusion represents a common attributable aetiology for these aneurysms, restoration of blood flow to the regions supplied by the celiac artery should also be taken into account when designing a treatment plan. Here, we present 4 cases of PDA aneurysms coexisting with coeliac artery occlusion, all of which were managed with bypass ...

Time-dependent Clearance of Cyclosporine in Adult Renal Transplant Recipients: A Population Pharmacokinetic Perspective [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Aim The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of cyclosporine (CsA) in renal transplant recipients are patient- and time-dependent. Knowledge of this time-related variability is necessary to maintain or achieve CsA target exposure. Here, we aimed to identify factors explaining variabilities in CsA PK properties and characterise time-dependent clearance (CL/F)
