BACKGROUND The selection of patients with renal artery stenosis (RAS) likely to improve glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty is difficult. We examined basal hemodynamic and inflammatory factors linked to improved stenotic kidney (STK) function after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty in swine RAS. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen pigs after 6 ...

b-type natriuretic peptide (bnp) level is known to increase in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis. in this systematic review, we aimed to discuss the possible association between plasma bnp level and the success rate of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy. pubmed and scopus databases were searched systematically, using the following key terms: “b-type natriuretic peptide” or “bn...

Penetration enhancers are a classical means for improving transdermal drug delivery (TDD). Enhancers permeate into the skin and reversibly decrease the barrier resistance. Basically, our aim is to formulate a transdermal gel containing an appropriate enhancer for a controlled drug release. Terpenes, namely limonene, linalool and cineole, in propylene glycol (PG) were first investigated in vitro...
