This study determined alterations to hypoxic dilation of isolated skeletal muscle resistance arteries (gracilis arteries; viewed via television microscopy) from obese Zucker rats (OZR) compared with lean Zucker rats (LZR). Hypoxic dilation was reduced in OZR compared with LZR. Endothelium removal and cyclooxygenase inhibition (indomethacin) severely reduced this response in both groups, althoug...
We present a case of aneurysmal dilation of the aortic residual segment, involving abdominal vessels in corrective surgeries for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, through the identification of risk groups for recurrent dilation, aiming at using a specific operative technique with a branched graft, to prevent aneurysm relapse.
introduction: despite wide use of hyoscine by midwives and doctors as an adjunct to labor, the obstetrics literature contains few references to the effect of this drug. this study was a double blinded, randomized controlled trial of primigravidas in iran to determine the effects of hyoscine intravenous injection on parturition (labor). methods:one hundred primigravidas in uncomplicated spontane...
achalasia is a well- defined esophageal motor disorder. graded pneumatic dilation using rigiflex ballon is one of the therapeutic modalities that had not been evaluated in a large long-term study. we aimed at evaluating long-term efficacy of graded rigiflex pneumatic dilation in the treatment of achalasia. symptomatic patients with achalasia who had been referred to our center were consecutivel...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The feasibility and reproducibility of scanning laser polarimetry performed through dilated pupils rather than through non-dilated pupils was tested. PATIENTS AND METHODS One eye each of 36 subjects (12 normal, 12 suspected glaucoma, and 12 glaucoma) was scanned using a single GDx unit with variable corneal compensator (GDx-VCC; Laser Diagnostic Technologies, Inc., Sa...
OBJECTIVE To compare swallowing outcomes following cricopharyngeal (CP) dilation versus surgical myotomy in patients with dysphagia secondary to idiopathic CP bar. METHODS All patients had an idiopathic CP bar without a history of Zenker's diverticulum, head and neck cancer, or systemic neurologic disease treated between 2000 and 2013. The Functional Outcome Swallowing Scale (FOSS) was utiliz...
Insulin resistance (IR) impairs vascular responses in peripheral arteries. However, the effects of IR on cerebrovascular control mechanisms are completely unexplored. We examined the vascular function of isolated middle cerebral arteries (MCAs) from fructose-fed IR and control rats. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation elicited by bradykinin (BK) was reduced in IR compared with control MCAs. Maxi...
BACKGROUND Healthy middle-aged postmenopausal women have higher endothelium-dependent dilation and lower vasoconstrictor activity of endothelin-1 than men. Whether these sex-specific differences extend to patients with cardiovascular risk factors has not been investigated. The current study aimed to determine whether, in patients with cardiovascular risk factors, sex-specific differences exist ...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Endothelium-dependent dilation of skeletal muscle arterioles is mediated by unknown factors in very young rats. We assessed the possible contribution of carbon monoxide (CO) to this dilation and to dilation in older animals. METHODS The effects of de-endothelialization or various pharmacological inhibitors on responses to CO or endothelium-dependent dilators were studied in gr...
BACKGROUND Symptom relief post pneumatic dilation is traditionally used to assess treatment success in achalasia patients. Recently, we showed that symptom relief and objective oesophageal emptying are concordant in about 70% of patients, while up to 30% of achalasia patients report near complete symptom relief despite poor oesophageal emptying of barium. AIMS We now report the results of lon...
