Guided by gut sensory cues, humans and animals prefer nutritive sugars over non-caloric sweeteners, but how the gut steers such preferences remains unknown. In the intestine, neuropod cells synapse with vagal neurons to convey sugar stimuli to the brain
aUrinary leak was suspected when a daily increase of the volume of draining was noticed, which usually reached 50-500 ml per day. Then the presence of urine was confirmed by creatinine level and localization of fistula by imaging. During of urethral catheter placement postoperation was also reco...

This report describes one complication related to retrograde positioning of a catheter in the jugular vein in a patient in a coma resulting from subarachnoid haemorrhage. The catheter was found in the cervical subarachnoid space, as confirmed by radiography with contrast medium. Attention is focused ...
In contrast to adult primary pulmonary hypertension, the newborn syndrome is not defined by a specific pressure of the pulmonary circulation but rather an abnormally elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. The diagnosis is confirmed regardless of the pulmonary arterial pres...
Correct CVC placement was confirmed by post-insertion chest x-ray (CXR). Malposition was defined as radiologic interpretation of a CVC tip in a vein other than the SVC. Catheter reposition or manipulation was defined as documentation of a new procedure note or radiographic evidence of a ...
Visualization of only the normal portion of a diseased appendix, where inflammation is isolated to the tip (false negative). Misdiagnosing a normal appendix as inflamed secondary to other intra-abdominal processes, such as Crohn’s disease or pelvic inflammatory disease (false positive). Misdiagnosin...
with repositioning when malposition was identified by echocardiography. The 0.035-inch guidewire was removed and replaced with softer 0.018-inch placement guidewire. The diagnostic catheter was removed and the position of the guidewire within left ventricle confirmed with ICE. The guidewire was loaded in...
Precapillary sphincters represent important anatomical sites of blood flow regulation due to their strategic placement at branch points of proximal PAs, where they reduce both pressure and RBC flux into the downstream capillary bed and thereby regulate perfusion along the PA (Fig.7). The unique loc...
In correlation with the clinical aspect, we had a strong suspicion of vascular damage, which may be caused by inflammatory or noninflammatory diseases, and often are idiopathic. The diagnosis is normally confirmed by histopathology but unfortunately the owner did not agree with the medical procedure...
