INTRODUCTION: Vascular calcifications (VCs) and renal osteodystrophy (ROD) are frequently seen together and represent the major causes of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Some studies suggest a pathogenic link between them, but there is no consensus as yet regarding this issue...
Tumors can grow and press on other parts of the brain, potentially causing various symptoms depending on their location and size. Unlike some other types of lesions, tumors are defined by the growth of cells that form a mass. How do doctors diagnose brain lesions? The diagnosis of a brain ...
We have concluded, and hypothesized, that nephrocalcinosis is primarily a renal interstitial process, resembling metastatic calcification, and that it may have some features in common with, and pathogenic links to, vascular calcification. 展开 关键词:...
What causes Phlebosclerosis? Portal-vein phlebosclerosis is caused bycongestive heart failure and intrahepatic or extrahepatic portal obstruction, and calcification typically occurs only at the late stage of phlebosclerosis. What does Phleborrhexis mean? [ flĕb′ə-rĕk′sĭs ] n.Rupture of a...

Int Urol Nephrol 40(3):763-770Vascular calcification and atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients: what can we learn from the routine clinical practice?[J...
Mechanistic studies need to clarify whether hypertension causes CAC, or whether coronary calcium deposition serves as a marker for a higher degree of vascular calcification and, thus, impaired vascular compliance and higher blood pressure levels. 展开 ...
What does calcification in the parietal lobes do? How many gyri are on the temporal lobe? What artery supplies the medial temporal lobe? What cortex is located in the temporal lobes? What vascularizes the parietal lobe? What links the temporal lobe with the insula? What does the left poster...
What causes cerebral venous thrombosis? What is tricuspid valve regurgitation? What is acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis? Is pulmonary embolism a ventilation or perfusion problem? What is the pathophysiology of vascular dementia? What is multivessel coronary artery disease? What is reversible myocardial...
Define thrombocytopenia and list the most common causes of this condition. Which of the following describes the joint presentation of someone with rheumatoid arthritis? a. Red, warm, swollen, and tender to touch b. Enlarged, firm, crepitus with moveme...
It can result in a heterogeneous mass with air bubbles and sometimes calcifications, and a peripheral enhancement after injection. The use of radiolabelled compresses makes it possible to diagnose it on CXR [16]. C. Post-pneumonectomy syndrome (0.1%) This complication generally occurs lately,...
