BACKGROUND Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) used to be a relative contraindication for liver transplantation (LT). This obstacle has been dealt with following the improvement of LT-related techniques. OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of adult patients with PVT who underwent LT before and after adopting MELD. METHODS We retrospectively searched our database for deceased donor LT recipients who h...

Abstract Bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) neurons that synthesize corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) drive binge alcohol drinking and anxiety. Here, we found female C57BL/6J mice drink more than males have greater basal BNST CRF neuron excitability synaptic excitation. We identified a dense VGLUT2 + input from paraventricular thalamus (PVT) releases glutamate directly onto but also ...

In order to determine the relationship of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia (PVT) to any antecedent (premonitory) ventricular arrhythmias during the early phases of acute myocardial infarctions, 24-hour Holter monitoring was begun on 52 male patients an average of 12.6 hours after the onset of prolonged chest pain that was documented as acute infraction. Twenty-four patients had PVT and 28 did...

Benign portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a challenging complication of an otherwise successful liver transplantation. PVT is caused by various conditions and results in pathologic hemodynamics of hepatofugal diversion of porto-mesenteric blood flow. Thus, adequate restoration of portal blood flow to the liver graft is a major concern when trying to achieve successful liver transplantation in pati...

A bout 20–25% of patients develop recurrent thrombosis after successful thrombolysis for a first episode of prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT). 2 Whereas fibrinolytic treatment (FT) is an acceptable modality of treatment for a first episode of PVT, there are few data on patients with recurrent PVT. We compared the outcome of FT in patients with recurrent PVT with those treated for a first episode.

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is one of the most common vascular disorders of the liver with significant morbidity and mortality. Large cohort studies have reported a global prevalence of 1%, but in some risk groups it can be up to 26%. Causes of PVT are cirrhosis, hepatobiliary malignancy, abdominal infectious or inflammatory diseases, and myeloproliferative disorders. Most patients with PVT ha...

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is thrombosis of the portal -circulation, which may present with varied symptoms. However, increased use of abdominal imaging has noted a large number of incidental PVT. At the same time, PVT may be overlooked in the absence of the characteristic symptoms. More recently, a JAK2 mutation has been recognised as a cause of PVT. Anticoagulation is the mainstay of treatm...

Lesions of glutamatergic afferents to the nucleus accumbens have been reported to block psychostimulant-induced behavioral sensitization. However, thalamic glutamatergic projections to the nucleus accumbens have received little attention in the context of psychostimulant actions. We examined the effects of acute amphetamine and cocaine administration on expression of Fos protein in the thalamic...

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rather uncommon disease, although the growing use of non-invasive diagnostic techniques has increased the frequency with which it is diagnosed. PVT can occur in patients with malignancies, myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) and liver cirrhosis, but several other conditions may also act as predisposing factors [1]. In Internal and Emergency Medicine, Fimognari a...

In this paper; we have reviewed different type of frequency calibration and tuning design, independent from PVT variation. Almost every frequency synthesizer faces these natural process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variation in modern application design. Generating an accurate frequency reference is desirable, and as it often require, minimum time to achieve optimal tuning frequency and less...
