Introduction Variant patterns of arteries and veins are seen more frequently in abdomen than in any other part of the body. A knowledge of different types of variations depicted by renal and suprarenal veins is extremely important in exploration and treatment of renal trauma, renal transplantation, renovascular aneurysm and conservative or radical renal surgery [1–3]. The different patterns of ...

and the actual bicarbonate 16 6 mmol/l. To control the arrhythmia practolol 20 mg was given intravenously over 30 minutes. He was also given 30 units of insulin intravenously and 30 units intramuscularly. Later he became feverish and ampicillin was started. His condition rapidly improved with an immediate fall in the blood pressure to 140/100 mm Hg and the pulse rate to 130/min. The plasma gluc...

OBJECTIVES Although suprarenal fixation may be of benefit during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), its safety with regards to renal effects remains uncertain. To date, there has been no controlled study of the topic, with most reports relying upon single-center experiences that use heterogeneous patient populations and devices from different manufacturers. The purpose of this analysis was to...

OBJECTIVE Diadenosine polyphosphates have been demonstrated to be involved in the control of vascular tone as well as the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells and hence, possibly, in atherogenesis. In this study we investigated the question of whether diadenosine polyphosphates are present in human plasma and whether a potential source can be identified that may release diadenosine polyphosph...

We report a very rare case of bilateral high origins of testicular arteries in a 66-year-old Chinese male cadaver. The arteries originated from the antero-lateral aspect of the abdominal aorta, cranially to the origins of ipsilateral renal arteries. Approximately 1.1 cm after its origin, the right testicular artery gave off the middle suprarenal artery. During its course, the artery crossed ant...

We reported a 54-year-old asymptomatic man who received PET-CT scan for physical health examination at our hospital. In PET-CT scan, we incidentally found a left suprarenal tumor located adjacent to diaphragmatic crus with almost no FDG activity. This tumor was cystic in nature and slightly enlarged in size on CT scan one year later. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy and resection of this suprarenal t...

REGINALD LIGHTWOOD, M.D., M.R.C.P., D.P.H. (From the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London.) The functional importance of the suprarenal medulla was recognized for some years before that of the cortex was fully appreciated. While animals can live perfectly well without the medullary portion, total adrenalectomy causes death. From this and other data it is known that the cortex...
