AIM:To investigate changes in choroidal thickness and vascularity in keratoconus patients treated with corneal crosslinking.METHODS:This study evaluated 28 eyes of 22 patients with keratoconus who underwent corneal cr...
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GISTs)are considered the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract.Microvessel density(MVD)constitutes a direct method of vascularity quantification and ha...

Background: There is evidence that sow heat stress(HS) during gestation affects fetal development with implications for impaired muscle growth. We have previously demonstrated that maternal HS during early to midgesta...
Introduction: Kawasaki disease (KD) is a severe febrile vasculitis that affects children under 5 years of age. The severity of KD is related to coronary involvement. Few cases have been reported in sub-Saharan Africa....

Objective Contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)is advantageous for evaluating microcirculation,and has been applied to assess arthritis in previous studies.However,CEUS examinations have not been studied for hemophilia a...
The degree of nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injury can be altered by the microenvironment at the site of injury. Stem cells and vascularity are postulated to be a part of a complex pathway that enhances pe...
Background: The basal metabolic rate has a scaling by tumor mass on the exponent of 3/4, while a simple surface-supplied volume of the mass would have a lower exponent, 2/3. The higher exponent can be...
Scaphoid fractures,particularly those that occur more proximally,are unreliable in achieving union due to the retrograde blood supply of the scaphoid bone.Vascular compromise is associated with the development of nonu...
An angiosarcomatous component in gliosarcoma may be associated with an increased intraoperative hemorrhagic risk and preoperative diagnostic challenge. We report a unique case of gliosarcoma with an angiosarcomatous c...
Background:The angiography with micro-computed tomography(micro-CT)has been proved its great advantages on investigating the intra-osseous vascularity of carpal bones.But few researches have focused on the intra-hamat...
