BACKGROUND/AIMS Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with increased mortality due to cardiovascular disease and a dramatically higher rate of aortic dissection. The recognition and treatment of hypertension in this population is critical. We sought to assess the ability to detect blood pressure (BP) abnormalities comparing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) with conventional BP measureme...

Access site complications are major source of morbidity following cardiac catheterization. Their incidence varies in the literature because of multiple definitions and methods of determining the presence of particular complication. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the incidence of access site complications following cardiac catheterization using arterial duplex ultrasonography...

purpose: to evaluate the anatomical and visual outcomes of descemet`s stripping with endothelial keratoplasty (dsek) in patients with bullous keratopathy after cataract surgery. methods: the study was performed on 20 eyes of 20 patients (13 male, 7 female) with bullous keratopathy (pseudophakic=15, aphakic=5). donor lenticule was prepared using a microkeratome (n=12) or manual dissection (n=8)....

THIS is the second of the three volumes of the twelfth edition of this popular manual to be published. The revised order of dissection now used calls for little change in the present volume. The use of the Paris Nomenclature (1955) is continued, but the more familiar terms in common British usage are retained where thought desirable. For example, the "innominate" vessels are referred to as such...

PURPOSE To report clinical outcomes of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) using the big-bubble technique in patients with keratoconus. DESIGN Prospective noncomparative interventional study. METHODS SETTING Single hospital. PATIENTS Eighty-one unselected consecutive patients with moderate to advanced keratoconus intolerant to contact lenses and with poor spectacle-corrected vis...

thoughtful in realizing that for each student doing the actual dissection, several students will be required to know about it, identify the major structures, and understand the topographic and physiologic relationships. Each subsection is superbly designed for this purpose. There are clear directions for performing the operation, and separate boxes highlighting the things every student should o...

STUDY DESIGN Comparative study using robotic replication of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) vertebral kinematics together with serial dissection. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to quantify loads created in cadaveric spinal tissues arising from three different forms of SMT application. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA There exist many distinct methods by which to apply SMT. It is not known ...
