BACKGROUND
Conventional percutaneous transhepatic varices embolization (PTVE) has rarely been used in recent years due to high rates of variceal recurrence and rebleeding. Herein we report a modified PTVE with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (2-OCA) in which the whole lower esophageal and peri or
Endoscopic injection of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (2-OCA) is used on an off-label basis for gastric variceal hemorrhage (GVH) in the United States. We assessed the efficacy, safety, and predictors of rebleeding after gastric variceal obturation (GVO) with 2-OCA in patients with acute GVH.
A
OBJECTIVE
The objective of our study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of a modified percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization procedure with 2-octylcyanoacrylate (2-OCA) in the treatment of gastric variceal bleeding.
METHODS
From January 2003 to December 2008, 71 patients with
BACKGROUND
To evaluate the effect of a modified percutaneous transhepatic variceal embolization (PTVE) with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (2-OCA) on the prevention and treatment of esophageal variceal bleeding.
METHODS
Between March 2002 and December 2005, PTVE was attempted in 92 patients with esophageal
The Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a collection of autosomal-recessive disorders characterised by tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), bleeding diatheses and, in selected individuals, early-onset accelerated pulmonary fibrosis, neutropaenia and granulomatous colitis. We describe a
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) and bleeding diathesis, although it displays both genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Several genetic subtypes of HPS have been identified in human; however, the
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effect of the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean plus Premium plaque control brush head with the Oral-B 7000 plus CrossAction brush head on gingivitis and supragingival plaque reduction following a 42-day period of home use.
METHODS
This was a randomized, parallel,
OBJECTIVE
In cases of suspected abusive head trauma, a thorough and systematic study of the cranium and its contents is essential, preferably using the best available methods for observing the brain and its coverings. Building upon recent developments in skull bone removal techniques in infant
A young gentleman of Indian descent with oculacutaneous albinism (OCA) was found to have severe pulmonary fibrosis at first presentation. Following investigations, he was diagnosed with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS). It is a genetic condition characterised by albinism, bleeding diathesis and
BACKGROUND
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. It consists of a triad of tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism (Ty-pos OCA), bleeding diathesis resulting from platelet dysfunction, and systemic complications associated with accumulation of ceroid lipofuscin.
We evaluated a 32-year-old woman whose oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), bleeding diathesis, neutropenia, and history of recurrent infections prompted consideration of the diagnosis of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome type 2. This was ruled out because of the presence of platelet δ-granules and absence of
BACKGROUND
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) in combination with a platelet function defect caused by a disturbed release reaction from platelet δ-granules (storage pool defect - SPD) is typical for the autosomal recessive inherited Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS).
METHODS
A girl (age: 13 years) with
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), a bleeding tendency, and ceroid deposition. Most of the causative genes for HPS encode subunits of the biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complex (BLOC). In this study, we
Several plants causing poisoning in herbivores in Israel have an association with human health. Ferula communis (giant fennel) contains a potent anticoagulant and induces severe haemorrhagic diathesis in grazing ewes, or similar changes in utero in lambs. These and other teratogenic changes have
BACKGROUND
Circumcision is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in male children. A range of surgical techniques exist for this commonly performed procedure. The aim of this study is to assess the safety, functional outcome and cosmetic appearance of a sutureless circumcision
