The relationship between the rheological behavior of RBCs and angiogenesis in the morbidly obese
2018
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between red blood cell (RBC) aggregation and deformability and angiogenesis parameters in obese patients. METHODS We studied 35 obese subjects and 20 non-obese people as a control group. Angiogenesis was detected using Bio-Plex Pro Human Angiogenesis Multiplex Assays. The RBC aggregation and deformability of the red blood cell aggregation were performed by the Laser-assisted Optical Rotational Cell Analyser - LORCA. RESULTS The aggregation index and the syllectogram's amplitude were significantly higher in the obese patients, whereas the aggregation half-time (t1/2) was lower compared with the control group. The deformabili…
A Rare Case of Primary Gastric Melanoma
2019
Abstract Primary melanomas in the gastrointestinal tract are extremely rare, with an estimated prevalence of 0.5 to 1 case per million. Primary mucosal melanomas of gastric origin account for approximately 1–3% of all primary melanomas in the gastrointestinal tract. We present the case of a patient who underwent surgery due to primary gastric melanoma.
