TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β) blockade induces a human-like disease in a nondissecting mouse model of abdominal aortic aneurysm [PDF]

, 2017
Objective-Current experimental models of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) do not accurately reproduce the major features of human AAA. We hypothesized that blockade of TGF beta (transforming growth factor-beta) activity-a guardian of vascular integrity ...

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Complex two-stage open surgical repair of an aortoesophageal fistula after thoracic endovascular aortic repair

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
Aortoesophageal fistula after thoracic endovascular aortic repair is a rare but fatal complication, and no clear guidelines exist in the literature for optimal management.

High fat diet attenuates the anticontractile activity of aortic PVAT via a mechanism involving AMPK and reduced adiponectin secretion [PDF]

, 2018
Background and aim: Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) positively regulates vascular function through production of factors such as adiponectin but this effect is attenuated in obesity.

Three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of diaphragmatic dome motion in COPD patients

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diaphragmatic dysfunction is a hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially in emphysema, where hyperinflation alters diaphragm geometry and impairs inspiratory mechanics. However, quantitative three‐dimensional (3D) assessments of diaphragmatic dome shape and motion across COPD phenotypes are limited.

Outcomes of Early versus Delayed Endovascular Repair of Blunt Traumatic Aortic Injuries

Oman Medical Journal, 2019
Objectives: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has surpassed open surgical repair in the management of blunt traumatic aortic injuries (BTAIs) over the past two decades. It is a less morbid procedure associated with lower mortality. We sought to

The paper puzzle as an active learning tool in the teaching of anatomy: A qualitative study of perceptions in students and near‐peer teachers

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Active learning strategies enhance medical education by fostering self‐directed learning, communication, and problem‐solving skills. The paper puzzle, a game‐based learning approach, provides an engaging way to reinforce anatomical knowledge and promote collaboration.
