AAA screening programmes using ultrasound have been introduced in the United Kingdom, the United States and Sweden and are expected to reduce aneurysm-related mortality [10–13]. There is no recognised medical therapy for AAAs, with current management comprising regular ultrasound surveillance, until ...
A vein draining the subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue on the anterior abdominal wall was catheterized antegradely as previously described13 during ultrasound/color-Doppler imaging of the vein. A 22-g 10-cm polyurethane catheter (Arrow International, Reading, PA, USA) was inserted using the ...
The incidence, growth rate and size of aneurysmal expansion were measured by ultrasound (US) at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after PPE infusion compared with sham (saline-infused) mice (Fig. 1a; Supplemen- tary Table 1 and Supplementary Fig. 1A,B). PPE-induced AAA size differed from ...

Background: Through effects on nitric oxide bioavailability, vascular endothelial function is improved after the intake of a high amount of nitrate or L-arginine, but decreased after the intake of a high-fat meal. Therefore, we compared the effects of be
The abdominal ultrasound sonography revealed a hyperechoic, mildly enlarged liver. The child was referred to the Paediatric Department for further diagnostic assessment and treatment. During a 7-day hospitalization at the Paediatric Gastroenterology Clinic, elevated liver enzyme activity (AST 84 U/L, ...
Patients that had choledocholithiasis on ultrasound examination first underwent an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to extract the stones from the bile ducts, with the laparoscopic cholecystectomy being performed subsequently [15]. Finally, a cohort of 342 eligible adult patients was...
