Association of insulin resistance, insulin and leptin levels with coronary in-stent restenosis
The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2012 Background: In-stent restenosis remains the major limitation of coronary stent implantation. Leptin is a hormone strongly related to insulin resistance (IR).

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Evidence supporting the use of serial intralesional steroid injections (ILSIs) as an adjunct therapy for patients with idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) remains inconclusive. In our prospective study of 75 patients with iSGS, ILSI use was associated with a significantly reduced risk of recurrence (hazard ratio = 0.20; 95% confidence interval 0.08–0.

Reduction and simultaneous doping of graphene oxide to repel LDL in treatment of atherosclerosis disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Atherosclerotic disease develops when there is endothelial dysfunction, making low density lipoproteins (LDL) which are cholesterol carriers traveling in the blood, very likely to penetrate the endothelium layer triggering the formation of the atheromatous plaque and leading to the obstruction of blood vessels.

The Restenosis “Antitheory” [PDF]
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1993 Within the field of interventional cardiology, the foremost challenge is to find an effective treatment to prevent restenosis. In the United States, more than 400,000 patients underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention procedure in 1992; more than a third of these patients will have recur rence of luminal narrowing. Since the first angioplasty was

Construction of Nano-Assembled Microcapsules Embedded with Gold Nanoparticles for use in Novel Drug Delivery Systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Coronary stents have changed the way in which coronary artery diseases are managed. Although bare-metal stents can be traced back to 1994, long term efficacy of these stents has been shattered by ISR (In-Stent restenosis) and late stent thrombosis. Research on finding a solution to these issues has led to the development of DESs (Drug eluting stents ...

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Aims The long‐term outcomes of enteroscopic balloon dilation for small bowel strictures in patients with Crohn’s disease are not well understood. Although Crohn’s strictures can be classified into web‐like, ulcerated, and spindle‐shaped strictures based on endoscopic findings, the outcomes of enteroscopic balloon dilation ...

Patient-specific coronary angioplasty simulations -- a mixed-dimensional finite element modeling approach [PDF]
arXivCoronary angioplasty with stent implantation is the most frequently used interventional treatment for coronary artery disease. However, reocclusion within the stent, referred to as in-stent restenosis, occurs in up to 10% of lesions. It is widely accepted that mechanical loads on the vessel wall strongly affect adaptive and maladaptive mechanisms. Yet,
