  • While commonalities exist between radiation-induced endothelial dysfunction in radiosensitive organs, the vascular endothelium is known to be highly heterogeneous as it is required to serve tissue and organ specific roles. (bvsalud.org)
  • For victims of acute high-dose radiation exposure, damage to the vascular endothelium may exacerbate the pathogenesis of acute and delayed multi-organ radiation toxicities. (bvsalud.org)
  • Ophthalmic manifestations of leukemia are more frequent with acute than chronic leukemia and can affect all intraocular structures. (dovepress.com)
  • Systemic symptoms, such as fever, drenching night sweats, or weight loss in excess of 10% of ideal body weight, or asthenia, are infrequent at presentation but can be observed in later stages of the disease. (medscape.com)
  • Regardless of the mechanism of injury, the end result in pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) is constriction and/or occlusion of the pulmonary veins and venules. (medscape.com)
  • Radiation-induced injury can be reduced by the administration of radioprotective agents. (osri.asia)
  • 2nd window dynamic NIR fluorescence imaging with ICG was analyzed with physiology-based pharmacokinetic modeling and confirmed with assays of endothelial Dll4 expression to assess the role of endogenous Dll4 expression on radiation injury protection. (bvsalud.org)
  • CONCLUSIONS: Together, these data suggest Dll4 plays a key role in pathogenesis of radiation-induced vascular injury to the lung and kidney. (bvsalud.org)
