Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is one of the more common forms of neonatal thrombosis accounting for 15-20% of systemic thromboembolism[1,2]. A median age at presentation of 2-3 days have been reported [1,3], with unilateral and bilateral involvement of renal vein in 89-72% and 28-11% of cases, respectively[4,5]. The clinical presentation of RVT consists of increased kidney size, macroor microhema...

This study aims to evaluate the putative roles of a single acute dose of resveratrol (RVT) in preventing cerebral oxidative stress induced by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion, followed by reperfusion (BCCAO/R) and to investigate RVT's ability to preserve the neuronal structural integrity. Frontal and temporal-occipital cortices were examined in two groups of adult Wistar rats, sham-ope...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the risk factors associated with renal vein thrombosis (RVT) in Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS Data on clinical symptoms, renal biopsy, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome profile, and serological examinations of lupus features were examined retrospectively in six patients with RVT confirmed by angiography from a total of 625 patients w...

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and PLA-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) nanoparticles containing resveratrol (RVT) were developed, and their antioxidant activity was evaluated. An analytical method using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/photodiode array (PDA) detection was also developed and validated for RVT determination in nanoparticles. The mobile phase consisted of methanol : water (5...

BACKGROUND Radical vaginal trachelectomy (RVT) is a fertility-preserving operation for young women who have cervical cancer in an early stage and want to have children. The demand for RVT is increasing, because more than 40% of all cases of cervical carcinoma affect women under the age of 44. Women are increasingly having their first child at later ages. METHODS We present the results of RVT ...

Bilateral renal vein thrombosis secondary to methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase mutation: a rare case To the Editor, Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is a rare but serious complication that is associated with many systemic disorders [1]. Thromboembolic complications, especially RVT, are frequent in nephrotic syndrome and are very prevalent in membranous nephropathy [1]. Trauma, oral contraceptives...

High cost to setting up wired networks especially in rural and hilly areas has highly encouraged the expansion of wireless networks. The Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) IEEE 802.16 standard is among the most promising and rising technologies in wireless network. The salient features of this technology includes large frequency range, last mile wireless access and increase...

OBJECTIVE To review the effects of radical vaginal trachelectomy (RVT) and radical hysterectomy (RH) on overall progression-free survival rate, and intraoperative and postoperative complications in patients with cervical cancer (FIGO stage IA-IB1). METHODS Electronic searches for studies of RVT and RH in the treatment of cervical cancer between 1994 and January 2010 were made on MEDLINE, the ...

Renal vein thrombosis (RVT) may present as an acute or chronic event, the latter being more common, and patients are usually asymptomatic. Acute RVT is more frequent in younger patients and is characterized by a sudden onset of severe flank pain associated with marked costovertebral angle tenderness and macroscopic haematuria. RVT is a known complication of the nephrotic syndrome. Other causes ...

Neonatal renal vein thrombosis (RVT) is a well-recognized clinical entity which is associated with serious morbidity. However, current information regarding RVT has been restricted to case reports and small case series. In this study, it was our objective to describe patient demographics, clinical presentation, location and risk factors of RVT. For our study design, we looked at a case series o...
