There is initial swelling, with hyperemia, and it is possible that some early lesions may subside at this stage. As a rule, however, the disease advances and the next stage is one of caseation, after the formation of small tuberculous nodules. The superficial epithelium is next shed an...

Cutaneous reactions can occur in up to 95% during or after Clinically, cutaneous radiation are manifested by hyperemia, edema, burning and itching skin, which cause significant discomfort reduce quality life, espec...

BACKGROUND Accurate characterization of the longitudinal trends of myocardial edema and hemorrhage has been previously limited by subjective qualitative methods. We aimed to prospectively characterize the evolution of myocardial edema and hemorrhage post acute myocardial infarction using quantitative measures. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty-two patients were enrolled post primary percutaneous coro...

OBJECTIVE(S) It has been reported that ischemic postconditioning, conducted by a series of brief occlusion and release of the bilateral common carotid arteries, confers neuroprotection in permanent or transient models of stroke. However, consequences of postconditioning on embolic stroke have not yet been investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, rats were subjected to embolic...

Abstract Objectives To test whether local hemolysis is a potential mechanism of saline-induced coronary hyperemia. Background Absolute flow can be measured by intracoronary continuous thermodilution saline through the lateral side holes dedicated infusion cathete. A rate at 15–20 mL/min induces an immediate, steady-state, maximal microvascular vasodilation. The this hyperemic response remains u...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of a fluorometholone/tetrahydrozoline fixed combination on conjunctival graft morphology after primary pterygium excision. METHODS The patients who underwent pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft transplantation were randomized into three groups based on postoperative medications as the fluorometholone/tetrahydrozoline group, fluorometholone group, and ...
