Renal artery aneurysm: An endovascular treatment for a rare cause of hypertension

Renal artery aneurysms are a rare cause of secondary hypertension. Endovascular treatment with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-coated stent can exclude aneurysms and treat hypertension. We report the case of a 23-year-old man with hypertension diagnosed three years earlier and in whom renal angiography revealed three aneurysms involving the right renal artery. A covered stent was implanted, resulting in succes...

US-guided interventional joint procedures in patients with rheumatic diseases--...

OBJECTIVE: To describe the main indications and the technical steps to perform ultrasound guided procedures in patients with rheumatic diseases. To access procedures accuracy, safety and effectiveness. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 27 patients with pain related to articular complications of rheumatic diseases and according to previous radiographic or US exam were submitted to several US-guided procedures. 42% of pati...

Spectrophotometric sensor system based on a liquid waveguide capillary cell for...

An analytical procedure for the spectrophotometric determination of titanium at trace levels was developed. The procedure involves the use of a multipumping flow system (MPFS) coupled with a liquid waveguide capillary cell (LWCC) with 1.0 m path length, 550 mm i.d. and 250 mL internal volume, which enabled to enhance the sensitivity of the determination and thus avoid complex and timeconsuming preconcentration ...

Giant aneurysm of the left renal artery: Case 8067

Trophic morphology of five benthic-feeding fish species of a tropical floodplain

This study describes the morphology of the digestive apparatus and the size and organic content of the ingested food of five species of benthic-feeding fishes (Prochilodus lineatus, Steindachnerina insculpta, Loricariichthys platymetopon, Trachydoras paraguayensis e Iheringichthys labrosus). The samples were taken in the floodplain of the up Paraná River in February and August 1991. The results suggested that t...

The reproductive strategy of Leporinus friderici (Characiformes, Anostomidae) i...

The reproductive strategy of a species depends upon the interaction between intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Examining the population of Leporinus friderici in two reservoirs of the Upper Paraná River basin in reference to first gonadal maturation and breeding season and sites, the present investigation tested whether the environment formed by damming promoted spatial and temporal changes in the reproductive st...

Water enema computed tomography (WE-CT) in the local staging of low colorectal ...

BACKGROUND: To determine the accuracy of computed tomography performed with a water enema application (WE-CT) in the local staging of low colorectal neoplasms and to compare the results with those of transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS). METHODS: Forty patients with low colorectal tumors were evaluated prospectively by CT with the simultaneous administration of a lukewarm rectal enema (0.5-1.5 L). Thin slices (5 ...
