BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The options for treating giant fusiform basilar aneurysms are limited, and the potential impact of planned interventions is difficult to assess. We developed a computational framework to evaluate the impact that interventions might have on hemodynamic conditions. METHODS A computational fluid dynamics approach was used to determine the velocity field, wall shear stress,...

background: the prevalence of migraine headaches significantly increased in girls after menarche. this indicated that there is a closely relation between hormonal changes especially the estrogen level with migraine headaches. objectives: the aim of this work was to determine the frequency of migraine and its associated factors in medical students affected with premenstrual syndrome (pms). mater...

background: obesity seems to be associated to migraine headache. increase in body fat, especially in gluteofemoral region, elevates adiponectin and leptin secretion which in turn impair inflammatory processes that could be contributing to migraine risk. this study was designed to assess the relationship between body composition and risk of migraine for the first time. methods: in this cross-sec...

The consequences of cochlea removal on neuron number and soma cross-sectional area were examined in the second order auditory nucleus (n. magnocellularis) of chickens. Both the age of the subjects at the time of cochlea (basilar papilla) removal (1-66 weeks) and the survival period (1-45 days) were varied. Neuron number and soma cross-sectional area were determined from Nissl stained sections. ...

vertebral artery is the first branch of subclavian artery. it merges with the same artery of the opposite side to form basilar artery and becomes one of the important source of blood supply to the brain. variation in the origin of left vertebral artery was found in 65 year old female during magnetic resonance angiography of the neck vessels. it originated from aortic arch and was longer as comp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study was undertaken to examine the relationship between collateral flow and outcome after local intraarterial thrombolytic treatment for basilar artery thrombosis. METHODS Twenty-four patients with symptomatic basilar thrombosis were treated with intraarterial urokinase. Angiograms at the time of treatment were analyzed to characterize collateral flow. The number ...

background: menstrual migraine (mm) is a subgroup of migraine headache that affect the quality of life of patients in menstrual age. iron deficiency anemia (ida) is the most common cause of anemia, especially in women of reproductive age. objectives: to determine the association of iron deficiency anemia with menstrual migraine. materials and methods: this descriptive-analytic study was conduct...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pontine infarction is most often related to basilar artery atherosclerosis when the lesion abuts on the basal surface (paramedian pontine infarction), whereas small medial pontine lesion is usually attributed to small vessel lipohyalinosis. A previous study has found that high-resolution MRI can detect basilar atherosclerotic plaques in up to 70% of patient with paramedia...
