متن کاملTreatment of Hypersplenism by Partial Splenic Embolization Through Gastric Collaterals.

Initially, we were not successful in catheterizing the splenic artery from the celiac trunk due to significant atherosclerotic disease. Therefore, we successfully managed to access the di...
متن کاملA rat model of glaucoma induced by episcleral vein ligation.
To establish a reliable animal model of glaucoma, we examined if episcleral vein ligation in rat eyes can induce intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and concomitant characteristic morphological features of glaucoma. IOP elevation was detected on the next day (30.1+/-4.4 mmHg: operated eyes; 21.0+/-1.8 mmHg: control eyes) and persisted at least 7 months after the procedure (24.5+/-2.3 mmHg: ope...
متن کاملSplenic irradiation-induced gastric variceal bleeding in a primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patient: a rare complication successfully treated by splenectomy with short gastric vein ligation
Primary splenic diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare clinical condition, which is generally treated by six to eight cycles of chemotherapy involving a combination of rituximab and the cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisolone (CHOP) regimen. However, the treatment for chemorefractory primary splenic DLBCL remains controversial. Therapeutic splenic irradiation (SI) m...
