Review of current theories for abdominal aortic aneurysm pathogenesis.

30 Aug 2009 Atherosclerotic plaques are a feature of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Atherosclerosis and AAA appear to share similar risk factors. These observations have led to the conclusion that AAAs are a consequence of advanced atherosclerosis.This ... Read more...

Venous reflux from the pelvis and vulvoperineal region as a possible cause of lower extremity varicose veins: diagnosis with computed tomographic and ultrasonographic findings.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to demonstrate with the use of computed tomography and ultrasonography that isolated venous reflux from the pelvis and vulvoperineal region is a possible cause of lower extremity varicose veins. METHODS: From a ... Read more...

Outcome and management of isolated moderate renal pelvis dilatation detected at postnatal screening.

5 Jul 2009 The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and outcome of isolated moderate renal pelvis dilatation (RPD) [anterior-posterior diameter (APD) 10-15 mm] in an unselected population of 2-month-old infants prospectively followed for up to 12-14 ... Read more...
