    Aim Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) accomodates a spectrum of cardiac abnormalities. This study aims to investigate whether DCM is associated with changes in cyclic adenosine 3′-5′ monophosphate (cAMP) signaling, particularly ...
  • Cardiorenal Syndrome 
    Berbari, Adel E.; Mancia, Giuseppe (Springer, 2019-03-01)
  • Cardiovascular and renal outcome in recipients of kidney grafts from living donors 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Stephan, Antoine; Blacher, Jacques; Safar, Michel (2019-06-07)
    Background. Cardiovascular (CV) risk remains high in renal transplant patients despite a clear improvement conferred by transplantation. This risk is attributed mostly to recipient-related risk factors. Donor vascular ...
  • Carotid artery revascularization through a radiated field

    Objective Extracranial carotid stenosis is a complication of external head and neck irradiation. The safety and durability of carotid artery revascularization through a radiated field has been debated. We describe the ...
  • A case of cat-scratch disease with unusual ophthalmic manifestations 
    Ghazi, Nicola G.; Sams, Waler A. (2019-06-18)
    We report a case of cat-scratch disease with unusual posterior segment manifestations. A 12-year-old healthy male presented with three weeks history of decreased visual acuity in the right eye. A significant history of cat ...
  • A case of fatal pulmonary thromboembolism associated with the use of intravenous estrogen therapy 
    Zreik, Tony; Odunsi, Kunle; Cass, Ilna; Olive, David; Sarrel, Philip (2015-10-07)
    Objective: To report a case of fatal pulmonary embolism associated with the use of IV estrogen therapy for menometrorrhagia. Design: Case report. Setting: University hospital. Patient(s): A 52-year-old woman with ...
