The retinal pallor and swelling following CRAO are confined to the posterior pole whereas, in more peripheral locations, the non-perfused inner retina remains transparent and is apparently unaffected. However, there is no consensus over what constitutes the “posterior pole” in this regard. Clearly...
First, every gene in the “Lipoprotein signaling and cholesterol metabolism” PCR microarray was detected in human NR and RPE (Zheng et al., 2012) suggesting that cholesterol homeostasis at these locations could be relatively independent from the rest of the body, consistent with the presence of ...
12-1). The left renal artery originates in a more lateral location, and courses through the retroperitoneum posterior to the left renal vein. An understanding of the typical locations of the renal artery orifices will avoid much frustration during selective angiography. The renal artery is usually...
contralateral arm or face. These focal signs and symptoms are presumably related to the tendency of typical bifurcation MCA aneurysms to project into the temporal lobe, resulting in a higher incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage (30–50%) than with saccular intracranial aneurysms at other locations....
Patients with aneurysms at these locations may have visual deficits because of the proximity to the optic chiasm. Rupture of aneurysms in this area always results in blood in the interhemispheric fissure between the frontal lobes, and these patients frequently have hematomas in the brain itself or...
(both size and location, 16% to 19%), which can make arterial cannulation particularly difficult; some children with Down syndrome have a singlemedian artery.187,188Theulnar arteryalso has been used as an alternative site for arterial catheterization when attempts at insertion in other locations ...
Depending on various locations, different pathways are involved in atherosclerosis progression. Our analysis suggested the relationship between zinc hair scalp concentration and severity of left main disease. The left main coronary represents the very beginning of the sided epicardial bed; the thorough ...
