Introduction: The aim of this study was evaluation the effects of bilateral carotid artery occlusion on cochlear oxidative stress and hearing status in rat. Methods: The rats were divided into two sets. First set used for electrophysiological recording (click and 4 kHz tone burst ABR and EcochG) at day before surgery and 1st, 4th and 7th days after surgery. Animals of second set that used for ...

Post-traumatic sphenoid sinus pseudoaneurysm arising from the cavernous segment of internal carotidartery (ICA) is rare, and even rarer occurrence an associated carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF). Here we presentthe case a young male patient presenting with intractable epistaxis due to post-traumatic sinuspseudoaneurysm carotid artery simultaneous fistula.

Carotid artery thrombosis and concomitant brain infarction after blunt trauma are rare conditions. We report a 34-year-old woman with multiple traumas due to pedestrian car accident. At the time of initial visiting, she was somnolent and her Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score was 14. Initial vital signs (V/S) and brain computed tomography (CT) scan were normal. One day after admission to the emerge...

background: pulse wave velocity (pwv) is widely used for estimating the stiffness of an artery. v arious invasive and non-invasive methods have been developed to determine pwv over the years. in the present research , the non-invasive estimation of the pwv of large arteries was used as an index for arterial stiffness. methods: a dynamic model based on the navier-stokes equations coupled to elas...

background sphenoid sinus is surrounded by many vital vascular and nervous structures. in more than 20% of patients with chronic sinusitis, involvement of sphenoid sinus has been observed. besides, sphenoid sinus is an appropriate route to access anterior and middle cranial fossa in surgery. therefore, it is important to have an adequate knowledge about the contents of sphenoid sinus and its pr...

background: ovulation induction and art may be a newly recognized cause of vascular thrombosis in unusual sites in otherwise healthy women. objective: to report a case of thrombosis in right carotid artery 2.5 months after ovarian stimulation for ivf-et. case report: a non pregnant 39-year-old woman without coagulation disorder and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). the patient underwent...

abstract  introduction: hypertension is a very common cardiovascular disease with extensive effects on body organs. this study was conducted to compare the extent of target organ damage in hypertensive patients with and without significant nocturnal fall in blood pressure (dippers and non-dippers, respectively). methods: one-hundred patients with recently diagnosed hypertension underwent 24-hou...

the aim of this study was to investigate the iron concentrations in serum and carotid plaque in patients with different morphology of carotid atherosclerotic plaque and compared with other metal ions. carotid endarterectomy due to the significant atherosclerotic stenosis was performed in 91 patients. control group consisted of 27 patients, without carotid atherosclerosis. atherosclerotic pla...
