Lower limb fractures like floating knees are more common in urban areas of low-income countries. In addition, associated complex lesions manifestations polytrauma requiring correct and appropriate management. The treatment is mostly surgical. We present a 19-year-old patient with knee due to ipsilateral femoral tibial vascular compression treated calcaneus traction followed by long cast. For ou...

IN CEREBRAL vascular disease, difficulties in pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment are at present the rule rather than the exception. This discomforting situation is due to our rather limited knowledge concerning the etiology and pathogenesis of vascular disease in general, to the relative inaccessibility of the human brain, and to the resultant paucity of rational therapeutic modalities. It ...

The reconstitution of a proper and functional vascular network is a major issue in tissue engineering and regeneration. The limited success of current technologies may be related to the difficulties to build a vascular tree with correct geometric ratios for nutrient delivery. The present paper develops a mathematical model suggesting how an anisotropic vascular network can be built in vitro by ...

Vascular self-healing concrete is an innovative technology that can potentially improve the durability and longevity of structures. However, limited research available concerning this type compared to intrinsic or capsule-based healing. As rheology curing properties a healing agent dictate optimal design configuration vascular network, series testing procedures for evaluating agents further exp...

introduction hemangiopericytomas (hpcs) are rare neoplasms which account for approximately 1% of primary vascular tumors. case presentation we report a 73 years old woman with vague abdominal pain who did not have further significant symptoms and was diagnosed to have retroperitoneal hemangiopericytoma. discussion the tumor was initially diagnosed by ultrasound evaluation. mri showed a lobulate...

background: arteriovenous fistula (avf)is the ideal method of vascular access for patients on maintenance hemodialysis (hd).therefore it is an important part of treatment in hd.there are several observations that indicate the role of inflammation in failure of avf.the aim of this study was to evaluate the hematologic and inflammatory biomarkers in early avf failure.   methods : this case-contro...

popliteal artery injuries are mainly seen in military experience. this study was undertaken in a civilian vascular surgical unit with a large trauma workload dealing with traffic accidents. a retrospective review of patients treated between 1995 and 2001 was undertaken. 145 cases of popliteal artery injuries were treated. these cases included 46.89% compound and lacerated injuries due to traffi...

abstract vascular injury presents a great challenge to the emergency resident because these injuries require urgent intervention to prevent loss of life or limb. sometimes serious vascular injury presents with only subtle or occult signs or symptoms. the patient may present weeks or months after initial injury with symptoms of vascular insufficiency, embolization, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous ...

objective proteus syndrome is an extremely rare, sporadic and progressive disorder. we describe a four-month-old male baby with central nervous system manifestations in this article. clinical presentation a four-month-old boy was admitted into our hospital with three tonic - clonic generalized seizure attacks which started from the day before admission. each seizure attack lasted less than 10 m...
