Le délai pour la levée d'un garrot sur un membre est limité, tout retard, surtout après la 3ème heure expose à un risque d'amputation de celui-ci. Notre objectif a été de rapporter trois cas de gangrène ischémique de membre par oubli d'un garrot après un prélèvement sanguin, afin d'interpeler le personnel soignant sur ses dangers. Il s'est agi de trois nourrissons dont deux de 3 mois et un de 5...

Since the introduction of carotid stenting (CAS), a combined treatment for bilateral lesions using carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and CAS has been developed. However, there has been only 1 report about CEA then CAS. Herein we describe 2 patients with bilateral severe carotid stenosis who were treated by CEA for the symptomatic side and CAS for the contralateral asymptomatic side. A 71-year-old ma...

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a paediatric speech sound disorder in which precision and consistency of speech movements are impaired. Most children with idiopathic CAS have normal structural brain MRI. We hypothesize that children with CAS have altered structural connectivity in speech/language networks compared to controls and that these altered connections are related to functional spe...

Introduction: The benefits of statin treatment in patients undergoing carotid angioplasty with stenting (CAS) have not been well established. This study aimed to determine the short-term effect of statins on periprocedural cerebrovascular complications and on the restenosis rate following CAS. Methods: The medical records of 59 consecutive patients who underwent CAS from December 2010 to Decemb...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to review the recent literature regarding the neurocognitive consequences of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid stenting (CAS). METHODS AND RESULTS A PubMed and Web of Science search was conducted using the key words 'carotid' in combination with 'cognitive', 'cognition', 'neurocognition', 'neurocognitive', 'neuropsychology', and 'neuropsycholo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Little is known about the significance of patient characteristics, clinical indications, and technical details on the risk of carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). The purpose of this study was to test these parameters as to their predictive value for the peri-interventional risk of CAS. METHODS Pro-CAS is a prospective, multicenter registry of CAS. Logistic regressio...

Chat (Cas/HEF1-associated signal transducer) is a novel signaling molecule with an N-terminal SH2 domain and C-terminal Cas/HEF1 association domain that is implicated in the regulation of cell adhesion. The Cas/HEF1 association domain also shows sequence similarity with guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Ras family small GTPases. In this study, we found significant activation of Rap1 in Ch...

When consumed separately, whey protein (WP) is more rapidly absorbed into circulation than casein (Cas), which prompted the concept of rapid and slow dietary protein. It is unclear whether these proteins have similar metabolic fates when coingested as in milk. We determined the rate of appearance across the splanchnic bed and the rate of disappearance across the leg of phenylalanine (Phe) from ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the incidence of ischemia during protected carotid artery stenting (CAS) as well as to compare the protective efficacy of the balloon and filter devices on diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-one consecutive protected CAS procedures in 70 patients with a severe (> 70%) or symptomatic moderate (> 50%) carotid artery ...

To investigate the effects of carvacrol supplementation in rainbow trout induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), relative gene expressions levels of some pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis markers in kidney and liver were measured. Fish with a mean weight of 44.71±1.33 g were studied using four different treatments with three replicates each. Inflammation and apoptosis were performed using L...
