Small Intestinal Vascular Disorders page 257 23.1 Acute Mesenteric Ischemia Nonocclusive bowel ischemia is the most common and lethal form of intestinal vascular insufficiency, accounting for at least 50% of all cases, with a mortality rate approaching 100%. It is commonly associated with reduced cardiac output, intra-abdominal sepsis and advanced malignant neoplasms. Digitalis constricts the splanchnic circulation and may aggravate or even precipitate mesenteric ischemia. The typical patient is over 50 years of age, with arteriosclerotic or valvular heart disease, poorly controlled long-standing congestive heart failure, hypotension, recent myocardial infarction or cardiac arrhythmias. Abdominal pain is characteristically periumbilical and crampy. In the early stages, physical signs are often minimal. The abdomen is soft, sometimes slightly distended, with mild tenderness on palpation. Abdominal pain of any degree of severity associated with minimal abdominal findings and a high WBC (often over 20,000/mm

Extractions: STATUS EPILEPTICUS IN CEREBRAL VASCULAR DISORDERS S-L. Lai Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan-R.O.C. Cerebral vascular disorder is one of the most frequent causes of acute symptomatic epilepticus. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis of status epilepticus in cerebral vascular disorders and the comparison with the status epilepticus in other etiologies. 56 cases of status epilepticus were admitted to the neurologic intensive care unit from 1994 to 1999, including 22 male and 34 female patients. Among them, 12 cases were due to the cerebral vascular disorders, four cases with cerebral haemorrhage, 6 cases with cerebral infarction. The other two cases were due to venous infarction in one and the other with A-V malformation. They received standard valium injection followed with phenytoin. There were two case refractoy to the above regimen and they received further phenobarbital injection. Afterall, the seizures were well controlled and there were no mortalities. The other 44 case including 15 antiepileptic drug withdraw, 10 case of CNS infection, 5 case of alcoholism and some other etiologies. The seizures were poor controlled in the group of the CNS infection. Conclusion: Cerebral vascular disorders were common causes of status epilepticus. The seizure control in this group was no different in other etiologies and the prognosis of status epilepticus in this group is good.

Extractions: (Project #A2154-RA) PURPOSE Exercise has been shown to increase glucose utilization and improve insulin sensitivity in patients with type-2 diabetes, even after adjusting for weight loss. An inverse relationship has been noted between level of physical activity and level of hemoglobin A c. In the clinical setting, however, prescribing exercise for type-2 diabetes may be complicated by poor adherence and lower limb problems. This study attempts to measure the value of exercise prescription in the treatment of type-2 diabetes. A home exercise program is being tested as a clinically practical alternative to the traditional supervised model. Components of fitness are being compared to weight loss for their relative contributions to change in hemoglobin A c levels.

Extractions: (Project #B829-RA) PURPOSE It is hypothesized that there is a change in the control of aged motor units to accommodate their altered mechanical and physiological properties. The knowledge of age-related alterations in the control of motor units will provide insight into the observed decline in neuromuscular performance in the elderly. METHODOLOGY The first dorsal inter osseous muscle was chosen to be studied in male subjects during voluntary abduction of the index finger. Electromyographic signals, detected via the quadrifillar needle electrode and the surface bipolar electrodes, were recorded along with the force generated by the muscle. The Precision Decomposition Technique was used to identify firing times of motor units. PROGRESS Data from 10 "young" (20-37 yrs) and 10 "elderly" (65-88 yrs) subjects have been analyzed and the results compiled.

http://imigraine.net/other/mvasc.html

Extractions: Headache preceding internal carotid artery occlusion was first recognized by Moniz et al. (1937) and later by others (Andrell, 1943; Fisher, 1951). Fisher was the first to appreciate the frequency and characteristics. He described eight patients, four of whom presented with ipsilateral headache. In all four patients, the pain was most severe in or above the eye. It was steady and neither throbbing nor pulsatile. Individual episodes of eye pain lasted from 15 minutes to 1 week. The interval between the onset of eye pain and stroke was frequently prolongedin one patient, the pain was ``excruciating'' and occurred intermittently for 1 year prior to the stroke. In all patients, the eye pain invariably ceased shortly after the stroke began.

http://imigraine.net/other/ovasc.html

Extractions: Headaches may be associated with hypotension. Not uncommonly, individuals who complain of headache are found to have unusually low blood pressure readings. We have observed such individuals who complained of generalized headaches that usually appeared late in the afternoon and were not particularly severe. It is difficult to assess the significance of headache in such persons just as it is difficult to estimate the significance of vascular hypotension. Postural hypotension with a significant drop in blood pressure may be associated with a headache, the symptoms of which usually correlate with the positional change. In view of the manipulation of the common carotid artery, its adventitia, and the carotid sinus during this procedure, it is perhaps surprising that the headache does not occur more often after endarterectomy. The mechanism of the latent interval and the syndrome itself is not clear. The sudden distention of arterial walls previously protected by stenosis is a reasonable explanation for the headache, but does not take into account the latent interval. A disturbance of cerebral arterial autoregulation has been suggested by Leviton et al (1975), and Sundt et al (1981) and Reigel et al (1987) have provided supportive data. These authors found that postoperative CBF increases to more than 200 percent of baseline flow, presumably because of defective autoregulation, correlated with postoperative headache, seizures, and cerebral hemorrhages.

Extractions: Summary : Over the last decade, various studies have been reported to evaluate the circadian pattern of cardiovascular and cerebro-vascular diseases. The data from Indian population is lacking. We undertook this prospective observational study to evaluate the circadian variation in disorders like cerebro-vascular accidents and transient ischemic attacks. Total of 146 patients (events) were studied. Only 10 patients had TIA's. 55% had hemorrhage and 45% had infarction. The 24 hours period was divided into 6 equal portions of 4 hours each. The maximum events were seen between 4 am to 8 am and 12 noon to 4 pm (23.28%) each. Minimum events were seen between 12 midnight to 4 am 14/146 - 9.58%). The circadian variation in occurrence of cerebro-vascular disorders was present with two equal peaks. Full Article Full Articles are available in .pdf format. To view these, you require

CHRONIC HEPATIC DISORDERS. HEPATIC vascular disorders. CONGENITAL PORTOSYSTEMICSHUNT. Susan E. Johnson, DVM, MS, Diplomate, American
http://maxshouse.com/Portosystemic shunts.htm

Extractions: Diplomate, American College Veterinary Internal Medicine Portosystemic shunts (PSSs) are vascular communications between the portal and systemic venous systems that allow portal blood to reach the systemic circulation without first passing through the liver. Signs of HE dominate the clinical picture because of inadequate hepatic clearance of enterically derived toxins such as ammonia, mercaptans, short-chain fatty acids, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and endogenous benzodiazepines. Decreased hepatic blood flow and lack of hepatotropic factors such as insulin, glucagon, and nutrients result in hepatic atrophy. Urate urolithiasis, an important complication of PSSs, occurs because of increased urinary excretion of ammonia and uric acid. Renal, cystic, or urethral calculi may occur. Urolithiasis may be a complication in as many as 50 per cent of animals with congenital PSS. PSSs in dogs and cats can be either congenital or acquired. The congenital form is most commonly recognized. Congenital PSSs are anomalous embryonal vessels that usually occur as single shunts (either intrahepatic or extrahepatic) and are not associated with portal hypertension. The genetic basis for congenital PSS is unknown, although affected lines have been recognized in Miniature schnauzers, Irish wolfhounds, Old English sheepdogs, and Cairn terriers. An autosomal polygenic mechanism is suspected in Irish wolfhounds. Acquired PSSs, which form in response to portal hypertension, are typically multiple extrahepatic shunts that connect the portal system and the caudal vena cava.

http://www.med.wayne.edu/diagRadiology/TF/Neuro/Neuro8.html

Extractions: Neuroradiology Teaching File Low attenuation is present in the left occipital lobe, consistent with infarction in the distribution of the left posterior cerebral artery. The posterior cerebral arteries arise from the termination of the basilar artery. Major branches course around the midbrain and above the tentorium to supply the occipital lobe as well as the posteroinferior temporal lobe. Perforating arteries from the PCA supply the midbrain, hypothalamus and inferior thalami. Posterior choroidal arteries and the posterior pericallosal artery are also branches of the PCA. Infarctions of the PCA affect vision most commonly (occipital lobes) but also may affect memory (temporal lobes), smell (hippocampus), emotion (splenium) and other midbrain and thalamic function.

DOSE-RESPONSE RELATION FOR VASCULAR DISORDERS INDUCED BY VIBRATION IN THE FINGER
VASOMOTORSYSTEM-DISORDERS. DOSE-RESPONSE RELATION FOR vascular disordersINDUCED BY VIBRATION IN THE FINGERS OF FORESTRY WORKERS.
http://infoventures.com/osh/abs/lumb0006.html

Extractions: VASOMOTOR-SYSTEM-DISORDERS The prevalence of vibration induced white finger (VWF) was studied in forestry workers currently exposed to hand transmitted vibrations from antivibration (AV) chain saws. The diagnosis of VWF was made in 13.4% of the forestry workers who handled only AV chain saws and in 51.7% of those who had also operated non-AV chain saws in the past. The risk for VWF showed positive increments with each increment of vibration dose. The responsiveness to cold in the digital arteries was also increased with increasing vibration dose and severity of VWF. The authors conclude that the estimated dose response relation showed that if the magnitude of vibration acceleration was doubled, the total duration of exposure should be halved to produce an equivalent effect.
