Objective: Angiogenesis is critical for the development of tumors. Although vascular endothelial growth factor is a well-known proangiogenic factor, its impact on B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is not clear. The aim of this study is to evaluate vascular endothelial growth factor expression in subtypes of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma . Material and Method: Fifty-one patients with diagnoses of lo...

BACKGROUND Although diabetic patients have an increased rate of cardio-vascular events, there is considerable heterogeneity with respect to cardiovascular risk, requiring new approaches to individual cardiovascular risk factor assessment. In this study we used whole body-MR-angiography (WB-MRA) to assess the degree of atherosclerosis in patients with long-standing diabetes and to determine the ...

ObjectiveTranscarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) using a flow-reversal neuroprotection system has gained popularity for the endovascular treatment of carotid atherosclerotic disease owing to its lower risk stroke or death compared with transfemoral stenting. However, specific factors associated complications after TCAR have yet be defined.MethodsAll patients undergoing asymptomatic symptom...

Objective: To evaluate the adnexal masses with conventional gray scale and color Doppler flow imaging and to assess their diagnostic reliability to differentiate benign and malignant adnexal masses. Materials and methods: We evaluated 30 patients with adnexal mass. Morphological characterization of the mass was done using Sassone score. Color Doppler parameters noted down in each patient and Ca...

Oral anticoagulation dramatically reduces the risk of ischaemic stroke and improves all-cause survival in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, anticoagulation increases the risk of major bleeding, including uncommon but frequently fatal intracranial haemorrhages. As a consequence, guidelines recommend a risk-based approach to anticoagulation for AF, assuming those patients at higher...
