Management of neonatal aortic arch thrombosis with low-molecular weight heparin: a case series.

29 Jun 2009 Aortic arch thrombosis (AAT) is a potentially life threatening condition in neonates. We report 3 neonates with AAT and complete occlusion of a unilateral internal carotid artery with multiple cerebral infarcts. Multidisciplinary input led to ... Read more...

Vitamin E does not regress hypercholesterolemic atherosclerosis.

2 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Suppression of hypercholesterolemic atherosclerosis with vitamin E is associated with reductions in oxidative stress without reductions in serum lipids. The objectives of this study were to determine if (1) vitamin E regresses ... Read more...

Dietary mucilage promotes regression of atheromatous lesions in hypercholesterolemic rabbits.

29 Apr 2009 The antihypercholesterolemic and antiatherogenic effect of the mucilage galactomannan isolated from fenugreek seeds was studied in experimental rabbits maintained on a high cholesterol diet for 3 months. Changes in the levels of cholesterol and ... Read more...
