 | Malfunctioning central venous catheters in children: a diagnostic approach. | Fig20: Fluoroscopic contrast study of a haemodialysis catheter in a 9-year-old female. The lumen with a more distal tip has been opacified. The catheter is too long and the distal tip lies up against the inferior wall of the right atrium, causing the contrast jet...Bottom Line: Central venous access is increasingly becoming the domain of the radiologist, both in terms of the insertion of central venous catheters (CVCs) and in the subsequent management of these lines.This article seeks to provide an overview of the CVC types available... | Barnacle A, Arthurs OJ, Roebuck D, Hiorns MP - Pediatr Radiol (2007) |

 | Moringa oleifera Lam.: Protease activity against blood coagulation cascade. | Figure 3: Protease activity of MOL and MOR by zymography method. Includes casein as a substrate copolymerized with the polyacrylamide gel, for the detection of enzyme activity. Substrate degradation products were resolved in 7.5% SDS-PAGE. Lane A, MOR (1 mg); Lane B,...Bottom Line: Further, both the extracts exhibited significant procoagulant activity as reflected by a significant decrease (P ≤ 0.05) in recalcification time, accompanied by fibrinogenolytic and fibrinolytic activities; clotting time was decreased from 180 ± 10 sec to... | Satish A, Sairam S, Ahmed F, Urooj A - Pharmacognosy Res (2012) |

 | Cloning and characterization of glutamate receptors in Californian sea lions (Zalophus californianus). | f6-marinedrugs-08-01637: Agarose gel (1%) image showing results from the PCR fragment of the glutamate receptor subtype GluR 6. Lanes 2, 3, and 4 correspond to the PCR fragments obtained from control animals, and lane 5 corresponds to one domoic acid affected Californian sea lion....Bottom Line: NMDAR 1 and GluR 2/3 were the most widespread as immunoreactivity was observed within sea lion conducting system structures.PCR analysis, cloning and subsequent sequencing of the seal lion GluRs showed only 80% homology to those from rats, but more than 95%... | Gill S, Goldstein T, Situ D, Zabka TS, Gulland FM, et al. - Mar Drugs (2010) |

 | Unusual complication of urethral catheterization: a case report. | Figure 1: Instillation of contrast media through a Foley catheter to assess proper positioning. The foley catheter tip was found in the right lower ureter, and there was extravasation of contrast media around the right ureter.Bottom Line: During a routine urethral catheter change in a 38-yr-old woman, a 14-Fr Foley catheter was accidentally placed into the right ureter through the ureteral orifice.The position of the catheter was confirmed by retrograde urogram through urethral catheter.Percutaneous... | Kim MK, Park K - J.

 | Imaging features of adult choledochal cysts: a pictorial review. | Figure 11: Choledochal cyst without anomalous union of pancreaticobile duct.A, B. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography images (A, B) show fusiform dilatation of common bile duct. There is normal union of common bile duct and pancreatic duct with less than 12...Bottom Line: The various types of choledochal cysts have been classified on the basis of these anomalous unions (Komi classification) and their anatomical locations (Todani classification).The multidetector computed tomography with reformatted imaging, magnetic resonance... | Lee HK, Park SJ, Yi BH, Lee AL, Moon JH, Chang YW - Korean J Radiol (2009 Jan-Feb) |
