Background Prevalence of hyperuricemia (HU) is constantly increasing around the world and HU now identified as an independant cardiovascular risk factor. Objectives To determine prevalence in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) to identify degenerative complications T2D associated HU. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted rheumatology endocrinology departments Farhat Hached ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Arteriopathy is the leading cause of childhood arterial ischemic stroke. Mechanisms are poorly understood but may include inherent abnormalities of arterial structure. Extracranial dissection is associated with connective tissue disorders in adult stroke. Focal cerebral arteriopathy is a common syndrome where pathophysiology is unknown but may include intracranial dissect...

The numbers of mast cells/mm2 of lung parenchyma were counted in four controls, 15 cases of primary plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy (PPA), and 17 cases in which the arteriopathy was secondary to congenital heart disease, to determine if increased numbers occur in PPA and with what stage of disease they might be associated. Considerable accumulations of lung mast cells may occur in this diseas...

We apply generalized operators of fractional integration involving Appell's function F 3(·) due to Marichev-Saigo-Maeda, to the product of the generalized Bessel function of the first kind due to Baricz. The results are expressed in terms of the multivariable generalized Lauricella functions. Corresponding assertions in terms of Saigo, Erdélyi-Kober, Riemann-Liouville, and Weyl type of fraction...

one patient with tricuspid incompetence due to a ruptured papillary muscle after myocardial infarction. The higher incidence of left ventricular papillary muscle dysfunction reported (Heikkila, 1967) must be largely due to the higher incidence of left ventricular infarction observed by various workers (Wartman & Hellerstein, 1948; Zaus & Kearns, 1952). This patient had minimal dilatation of the...

During 1970-87 43 patients with unexplained pulmonary hypertension (mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 25 mm Hg) were admitted to the Brompton Hospital and classified by angiographic criteria as having either symmetrical peripheral pulmonary artery pruning (thought to represent primary plexogenic pulmonary arteriopathy), n = 21, or asymmetrical pulmonary arterial occlusions (thought ...

Cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy is a rare hereditary small vessel disease. Ischemic events are the main clinical manifestation of this condition. Here, we present a case in which superficial temporal artery-to-middle cerebral artery anastomosis was performed in a patient with cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy with subcortical inf...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Childhood arterial ischemic stroke treatment guidelines recommend extended anticoagulation in cardioembolism and dissection. We sought to investigate the safety of extended anticoagulation in childhood arterial ischemic stroke with nonmoyamoya arteriopathy, for which the risk of recurrent stroke is high. METHODS Thirty-seven patients with childhood-onset arterial ischem...
