Prostheses and Implants
Artificial substitutes for body parts, and materials inserted into tissue for functional, cosmetic, or therapeutic purposes. Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.

Bioprosthesis
Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.

Sigma Factor
Yin-Yang
In Chinese philosophy and religion, two principles, one negative, dark, and feminine (yin) and one positive, bright, and masculine (yang), from whose interaction all things are produced and all things are dissolved. As a concept the two polar elements referred originally to the shady and sunny sides of a valley or a hill but it developed into the relationship of any contrasting pair: those specified above (female-male, etc.) as well as cold-hot, wet-dry, weak-strong, etc. It is not a distinct system of thought by itself but permeates Chinese life and thought. A balance of yin and yang is essential to health. A deficiency of either principle can manifest as disease. (Encyclopedia Americana)

Receptors, sigma
A class of cell surface receptors recognized by its pharmacological profile. Sigma receptors were originally considered to be opioid receptors because they bind certain synthetic opioids. However they also interact with a variety of other psychoactive drugs, and their endogenous ligand is not known (although they can react to certain endogenous steroids). Sigma receptors are found in the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems, and in some peripheral tissues.
Infrainguinal revascularisation in the era of vein-graft surveillance--do clinical factors influence long-term outcome? (1/3358)
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the variables affecting the long-term outcome of infrainguinal vein bypass grafts that have undergone postoperative surveillance. DESIGN: A retrospective analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Details of 299 consecutive infrainguinal vein grafts performed in 275 patients from a single university hospital were collected and analysed. All grafts underwent postoperative duplex surveillance. Factors affecting patency, limb salvage and survival rates were examined. These factors were gender, diabetes, hypertension, aspirin, warfarin, ischaemic heart disease, run-off, graft type, early thrombectomy, level of anastomoses and indication for surgery. RESULTS: The 6-year primary, primary assisted and secondary patency rates were 23, 47, and 57%, respectively. Six-year limb salvage and patient survival were 68 and 45%, respectively. Primary patency was adversely influenced by the use of composite vein grafts. Early thrombectomy was the only factor that significantly influenced secondary patency. Limb salvage was worse in diabetic limbs, limbs with poor run-off and in grafts that required early thrombectomy. Postoperative survival was better in males, claudicants and in patients who took aspirin. CONCLUSIONS: Although co-morbid factors did not influence graft patency rates, diabetes did adversely effect limb salvage. This study, like others before it, confirms that aspirin significantly reduces long-term mortality in patients undergoing infrainguinal revascularisation. (+info)Isolated femoropopliteal bypass graft for limb salvage after failed tibial reconstruction: a viable alternative to amputation. (2/3358)
PURPOSE: Femoropopliteal bypass grafting procedures performed to isolated popliteal arteries after failure of a previous tibial reconstruction were studied. The results were compared with those of a study of primary isolated femoropopliteal bypass grafts (IFPBs). METHODS: IFPBs were only constructed if the uninvolved or patent popliteal segment measured at least 7 cm in length and had at least one major collateral supplying the calf. When IFPB was performed for ischemic lesions, these lesions were usually limited to the digits or small portions of the foot. Forty-seven polytetrafluoroethylene grafts and three autogenous reversed saphenous vein grafts were used. RESULTS: Ankle brachial pressure index (ABI) increased after bypass grafting by a mean of 0.46. Three-year primary life table patency and limb-salvage rates for primary IFPBs were 73% and 86%, respectively. All eight IFPBs performed after failed tibial bypass grafts remained patent for 2 to 44 months, with patients having viable, healed feet. CONCLUSION: In the presence of a suitable popliteal artery and limited tissue necrosis, IFPB can have acceptable patency and limb-salvage rates, even when a polytetrafluoroethylene graft is used. Secondary IFPB can be used to achieve limb salvage after failed tibial bypass grafting. (+info)The value of late computed tomographic scanning in identification of vascular abnormalities after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. (3/3358)
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of late arterial abnormalities after aortic aneurysm repair and thus to suggest a routine for postoperative radiologic follow-up examination and to establish reference criteria for endovascular repair. METHODS: Computed tomographic (CT) scan follow-up examination was obtained at 8 to 9 years after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair on a cohort of patients enrolled in the Canadian Aneurysm Study. The original registry consisted of 680 patients who underwent repair of nonruptured AAA. When the request for CT scan follow-up examination was sent in 1994, 251 patients were alive and potentially available for CT scan follow-up examination and 94 patients agreed to undergo abdominal and thoracic CT scanning procedures. Each scan was interpreted independently by two vascular radiologists. RESULTS: For analysis, the aorta was divided into five defined segments and an aneurysm was defined as a more than 50% enlargement from the expected normal value as defined in the reporting standards for aneurysms. With this strict definition, 64.9% of patients had aneurysmal dilatation and the abnormality was considered as a possible indication for surgical repair in 13.8%. Of the 39 patients who underwent initial repair with a tube graft, 12 (30.8%) were found to have an iliac aneurysm and six of these aneurysms (15.4%) were of possible surgical significance. Graft dilatation was observed from the time of operation (median graft size of 18 mm) to a median size of 22 mm as measured by means of CT scanning at follow-up examination. Fluid or thrombus was seen around the graft in 28% of the cases, and bowel was believed to be intimately associated with the graft in 7%. CONCLUSION: Late follow-up CT scans after AAA repair often show vascular abnormalities. Most of these abnormalities are not clinically significant, but, in 13.8% of patients, the thoracic or abdominal aortic segment was aneurysmal and, in 15.4% of patients who underwent tube graft placement, one of the iliac arteries was significantly abnormal to warrant consideration for surgical repair. On the basis of these findings, a routine CT follow-up examination after 5 years is recommended. This study provides a population-based study for comparison with the results of endovascular repair. (+info)Right atrial bypass grafting for central venous obstruction associated with dialysis access: another treatment option. (4/3358)
PURPOSE: Central venous obstruction is a common problem in patients with chronic renal failure who undergo maintenance hemodialysis. We studied the use of right atrial bypass grafting in nine cases of central venous obstruction associated with upper extremity venous hypertension. To better understand the options for managing this condition, we discuss the roles of surgery and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stent placement. METHODS: All patients had previously undergone placement of bilateral temporary subclavian vein dialysis catheters. Severe arm swelling, graft thrombosis, or graft malfunction developed because of central venous stenosis or obstruction in the absence of alternative access sites. A large-diameter (10 to 16 mm) externally reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (GoreTex) graft was used to bypass the obstructed vein and was anastomosed to the right atrial appendage. This technique was used to bypass six lesions in the subclavian vein, two lesions at the innominate vein/superior vena caval junction, and one lesion in the distal axillary vein. RESULTS: All patients except one had significant resolution of symptoms without operative mortality. Bypass grafts remained patent, allowing the arteriovenous grafts to provide functional access for 1.5 to 52 months (mean, 15.4 months) after surgery. CONCLUSION: Because no mortality directly resulted from the procedure and the morbidity rate was acceptable, this bypass grafting technique was adequate in maintaining the dialysis access needed by these patients. Because of the magnitude of the procedure, we recommend it only for the occasional patient in whom all other access sites are exhausted and in whom percutaneous dilation and/or stenting has failed. (+info)Endovascular repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm: a tip for systemic pressure reduction. (5/3358)
A proposed technique for systemic pressure reduction during deployment of a stent graft was studied. A 67-year-old man, who had a descending thoracic aneurysm, was successfully treated with an endovascular procedure. An occluding balloon was introduced into the inferior vena cava (IVC) through the femoral vein. The balloon volume was manipulated with carbon dioxide gas to reduce the venous return, resulting in a transient and well-controlled hypotension. This IVC-occluding technique for systemic pressure reduction may be safe and convenient to minimize distal migration of stent grafts. (+info)Infrarenal endoluminal bifurcated stent graft infected with Listeria monocytogenes. (6/3358)
Prosthetic graft infection as a result of Listeria monocytogenes is an extremely rare event that recently occurred in a 77-year-old man who underwent endoluminal stent grafting for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. The infected aortic endoluminal prosthesis was removed by means of en bloc resection of the aneurysm and contained endograft with in situ aortoiliac reconstruction. At the 10-month follow-up examination, the patient was well and had no signs of infection. (+info)Endovascular stent graft repair of aortopulmonary fistula. (7/3358)
Two patients who had aortopulmonary fistula of postoperative origin with hemoptysis underwent successful repair by means of an endovascular stent graft procedure. One patient had undergone repeated thoracotomies two times, and the other one time to repair anastomotic aneurysms of the descending aorta after surgery for Takayasu's arteritis. A self-expanding stainless steel stent covered with a Dacron graft was inserted into the lesion through the external iliac or femoral artery. The patients recovered well, with no signs of infection or recurrent hemoptysis 8 months after the procedure. Endovascular stent grafting may be a therapeutic option for treating patients with aortopulmonary fistula. (+info)Intraoperative transoesophageal echocardiography as an adjuvant to fluoroscopy during endovascular thoracic aortic repair. (8/3358)
OBJECTIVES: To define the utility of intraoperative transeophageal echocardiography (TEE) during endovascular thoracic aortic repair. DESIGN: Retrospective study. MATERIALS: Five patients underwent six transluminal endovascular stent-graft procedures for repair of thoracic aortic disease. METHODS: After induction of anaesthesia, a multiplane or biplane TEE probe was placed to obtain views of the diseased aorta. Both transverse and longitudinal planes of the aortic arch and descending thoracic aortic segments were imaged. The aortic pathology was confirmed by TEE and the proximal and distal extents of the intrathoracic lesion were defined. Doppler and colour-flow imaging was used to identify flow patterns through the aorta before and after stent-graft deployment. RESULTS: Visualisation and confirmation of the aortic pathology by ultrasonography was accomplished in all patients. TEE was able to confirm proper placement of the endograft relative to the aortic lesion after deployment and was able to confirm exclusion of blood flow into the aneurysm sacs. CONCLUSIONS: TEE may facilitate repair by confirming aortic pathology, identifying endograft placement, assessment of the adequacy of aneurysm sack isolation, as well as dynamic intraoperative cardiac assessment. (+info)Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a medical condition where a person is unable to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a medical condition in which a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for sexual activity. It is also known as impotence. ED can be caused by a variety of factors, including physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors. Physical causes of ED may include conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Psychological causes may include stress, anxiety, and depression. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle can also contribute to ED. Treatment for ED may include lifestyle changes, medications, and in some cases, surgery.
Prosthesis failure in the medical field refers to the malfunction or breakdown of a medical device or implant, resulting in a loss of its intended function.
Prosthesis failure refers to the malfunction or breakdown of a medical device or implant, such as a prosthetic limb, heart valve, or joint replacement, that is intended to replace or support a missing or damaged body part. Prosthesis failure can occur due to a variety of factors, including design flaws, manufacturing defects, inappropriate use or care, or the natural wear and tear of the device over time. Symptoms of prosthesis failure may include pain, swelling, infection, movement restrictions, or the device becoming loose or dislodged. Treatment for prosthesis failure may involve repairing or replacing the device, adjusting the device's fit or function, or administering medications or other therapies to manage symptoms or complications.
Prosthesis-related infections are infections that occur in or around medical devices such as prosthetic joints, heart valves, or pacemakers, and are caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
Prosthesis-related infections (PRIs) are infections that occur in or around medical devices, such as artificial joints, heart valves, or pacemakers. These infections can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses, and can be difficult to treat because the bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics. PRIs can lead to serious complications, including the need for surgery to remove the infected device, and can be life-threatening in some cases. It is important for patients who have medical devices to follow their healthcare provider's instructions for preventing infections and to seek medical attention immediately if they experience any signs or symptoms of infection.
Aortic valve stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve, which can restrict blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body.
Aortic valve stenosis is a medical condition in which the aortic valve, which is located between the left ventricle of the heart and the aorta, becomes narrowed or hardened, making it difficult for blood to flow from the heart to the rest of the body. This can lead to an increase in blood pressure in the left ventricle, which can cause the heart to work harder to pump blood through the narrowed valve. Over time, this can cause the heart muscle to become thickened and weakened, which can lead to heart failure. Aortic valve stenosis is typically caused by the buildup of calcium deposits or other substances on the valve, and it is more common in older adults. Treatment options for aortic valve stenosis may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery to replace the damaged valve.
A sigma factor is a protein that binds to DNA and helps to regulate gene expression in bacteria.
In the medical field, a sigma factor is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression. Sigma factors are part of the RNA polymerase complex, which is responsible for transcribing DNA into RNA. Specifically, sigma factors are subunits of the RNA polymerase holoenzyme, which is the complete enzyme complex that includes the core enzyme and the sigma factor. The sigma factor recognizes specific DNA sequences called promoters, which are located upstream of the genes that are to be transcribed. Once the sigma factor binds to the promoter, it recruits the core enzyme to the promoter, and the transcription process begins. Sigma factors can also interact with other regulatory proteins to modulate gene expression in response to various signals, such as changes in the environment or the presence of specific molecules. Overall, sigma factors play a critical role in controlling gene expression and are involved in many important biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and response to stress.
YY1 Transcription Factor is a protein that binds to DNA and regulates gene expression.
YY1 transcription factor is a protein that plays a role in regulating gene expression in various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. It is also involved in the regulation of the immune response, DNA repair, and the response to DNA damage. YY1 is a zinc finger transcription factor that binds to specific DNA sequences and recruits other proteins to modulate gene expression. Dysregulation of YY1 has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections.
Receptors, sigma are a type of neurotransmitter receptor that are activated by sigma ligands and are involved in various physiological processes, including pain modulation, reward, and addiction.
Receptors, sigma (σ receptors) are a type of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are found in the central nervous system and other tissues. They are activated by a variety of endogenous and exogenous ligands, including certain drugs and neurotransmitters. σ receptors are thought to play a role in a number of physiological processes, including pain perception, mood regulation, and the regulation of stress responses. They are also believed to be involved in the development of certain neurological disorders, such as schizophrenia and addiction. There are two main subtypes of σ receptors: σ1 receptors and σ2 receptors. σ1 receptors are found primarily in the brain and are thought to play a role in modulating the effects of other neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin. σ2 receptors are found throughout the body and are thought to play a role in regulating cell growth and survival. In the medical field, σ receptors are being studied as potential targets for the development of new drugs for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including pain, anxiety, and addiction.
