BackgroundHCV infection is a major worldwide cause of chronic liver diseases. Esophageal and gastric varices are common in cirrhotic patients due to concomitant portal hypertension. Variceal hemorrhage is a major decompensating event with high morbidity and mortality. Endothelial dysfunction, occurring in cirrhosis, facilitates the development of l...

BackgroundGranulomatosis with polyangiitis and myxomas are rare conditions previously described to co-exist. Cardiac masses are often presumed to be myxomas rather than lesions of granulomatosis with polyangiitis.Case presentationWe present a review of the symptoms for the two diagnoses along with the first verified case.ConclusionsTwo possible ris...

Previous studies have reported the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum microRNA (miR)-145 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in various types of cancer; however, their clinical use in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. The present study included 215 patients, 106 with NSCLC and 109 with other lung diseases (O...

To report optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in a case of immune choroiditis following contralateral acute retinal necrosis (ARN) with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) during anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. A 64-year-old woman with immune choroiditis following contralateral ARN and secondary CNV prese...

Besides preventing exertional heat illness, muscle cooling can be a potential strategy to enhance exercise-training induced adaptations. This study aimed to examine the effects of post-exercise cooling on the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF...

Oral wound healing in healthy could be promoted by VEGF in saliva, and immediate denture wearing, but data in type 2 diabetes are lacking. Aims were to investigate the timeline of extraction wound healing in diabetic participants wearing immediate dentures and its correlation to salivary VEGF, as well as to examine the impact of the palatal plate o...

Prominent tools used to measure loneliness such as the UCLA Scale and DJGS include no items related to being needed, i.e., neededness. More recent scales such as the DLS and SELSA do include items on neededness, but only within their romantic loneliness subscales. This paper proposes that new iterations of loneliness scales should include in all su...

Neurogenesis and angiogenesis are widely recognized to occur during epileptogenesis and important in brain development. Because vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a critical neurovascular target in neurological diseases, its effect on neurogenesis, microvascular remodeling and epileptogenesis in the immature brain after lithium-pilocarpin...

Introduction: Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked neuroectodermal dysplasia affecting multiple organs. One of its most significant ophthalmic manifestations is retinal neovascularization due to retinal ischemia, which has been traditionally treated with laser photocoagulation or cryotherapy. The application of anti-vascular endothelial g...

BackgroundThe full etiology of RA remains unclear; in addition to the contributions of infectious, hormonal, and environmental factors, several lines of evidence have suggested that the disease has a genetic basis. The VEGF gene is also an independent risk factor for RA severity and correlates with multiple disease parameters, such as disease activ...
