Our understanding of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has greatly increased in recent years due primarily to improved radiographic methods of diagnosis (1,2). Prior to the advent of modern neuroimaging, estimates of the incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) relied largely on autopsy series (3,4). More recent studies that employ radiographic techniques have demonstrated a higher incidenc...

The impact of CVT on the brain is wide spectrum, ranging from completely normal parenchyma to brain oedema and/or haemorrhage. Multiple factors relate to neuronal injury in CVT including; dural sinus pressure, increased venous flow velocities, collateralization of venous channels, rate of occlusion, development of cytotoxic and vasogenic oedema, recanalization and accelerated myelination. It is...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an infrequent variety of cerebrovascular disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations and a notoriously difficult diagnosis. Previous reports have emphasized the potential clinical utility of D-dimer assay in CVT diagnosis. METHODS A rapid sensitive D-dimer assay was performed at entry in 73 patients with CVT <30 days durati...

Centroidal Voronoi tessellations (CVT’s) are special Voronoi tessellations for which the generators of the tessellation are also the centers of mass (or means) of the Voronoi cells or clusters. CVT’s have been found to be useful in many disparate and diverse settings. In this paper, CVT-based algorithms are developed for image compression, image segmenation, and multichannel image restoration a...

Cortical venous thrombosis (CVT) mostly occurs due to a hypercoagulable state. Infection- related CVT is very rare and medical emergency associated with high mortality rate. It has been described bacterial fungal infections; but only few isolated case reports of tubercular meningitis (TBM) exist. Only six documentations CVT, as complication TBM, exist in the literature. Here, we report young gi...

This study characterizes the receptor binding and functional effects of CVT-3619 [2-{6-[((1R,2R)-2-hydroxycyclopentyl)-amino]purin-9-yl}(4S,5S,2R,3R)-5-[(2-fluorophenylthio)methyl]-oxolane-3,4-diol], a novel N(6)-5' -substituted adenosine analog and A(1) -adenosine receptor (A(1) AdoR) agonist, on rat epididymal and inguinal adipocytes and on the isolated heart and compares these effects with t...

Methods: 146 patients with breast cancer, received 4-6 cycles of CT with FAC regimen. The complex of clinical, laboratory and instrumental investigations was performed to the patients from this group. The main evaluated toxicity types were hematological, gastrointestinal (GIT), liver and cardiovascular toxicity (CVT). Results: GIT was more common in patients aged less than 50 years old (100% vs...

Abstract Thrombosis of the cerebral veins and sinuses (CVT) is a distinct cerebrovascular disorder that, unlike arterial stroke, most often affects children young adults, especially women. In this review, we will summarize recent advances on knowledge patients with CVT.

This paper presents the results of a comparative investigation into effects ignition method on ballistic properties three types propellants: single-base propellant, double-base propellant and low vulnerability (LOVA) as determined via closed vessel tests (CVT). Conventional gunpowder plasma jet methods were used. The influence values characteristics obtained in CVT was analysed. It found that h...
