Possible Pathomechanisms Responsible for Injury to the Central Nervous System in the Settings of Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency

2012

The discovery of stenoses in the azygous and internal jugular veins, the so-called chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency that accompanies multiple sclerosis, has enabled the reinterpretation of knowledge about this neurologic dis- ease. Pathologic venous outflow from the central nervous system appears to lead to two main problems. Firstly, it disas- sembles the blood-brain barrier and may allow the penetration of nervous parenchyma by glutamate and leukocytes. Sec- ondly, it may result in significant hypoperfusion of the brain and spinal cord. These two overlapping pathologies are likely to trigger plaques through caspase-1-driven pyroptosis of oligodendrocytes and to evoke neurodegene…

Anaesthetic-related neuroprotection: intravenous or inhalational agents?

2010

In designing the anaesthetic plan for patients undergoing surgery, the choice of anaesthetic agent may often appear irrelevant and the best results obtained by the use of a technique or a drug with which the anaesthesia care provider is familiar. Nevertheless, in those surgical procedures (cardiopulmonary bypass, carotid surgery and cerebral aneurysm surgery) and clinical situations (subarachnoid haemorrhage, stroke, brain trauma and postcardiac arrest resuscitation) where protecting the CNS is a priority, the choice of anaesthetic drug assumes a fundamental role. Treating patients with a neuroprotective agent may be a consideration in improving overall neurological outcome. Therefore, a cl…

Vantaggi degli ultrasuoni nel posizionamento di un agocannula nella vena giugulare interna (nuove note di tecnica)

2004

The authors analized the result of 175 central venous ca he- terization CVC. of internal jugular vein performed with the ultrasound guide (US) from January 1998 to October 2002. The average performing time was 45 minutes. 98.2% of success and 4% of complications (one pagal hypotension, one artery puncture, four catheter dislocation, one haeiuatoinai). The US guide CVC is a safe procedure with short performing time, low rate of failures and complications and high rate of success: it is helpful in all patients with vascular anatomical variations, with not visualized or Land marks and with coagulation disorders.

One shoot seldinger central venous catheterization in dialyzed patients

2015

Introduction: Central Venous Catheterization is necessary in uremic patient (before dialysis) and many other conditions. In this study we demonstrated the advantages of ultrasonography to perform the procedure. Materials and methods: 48 uremic patient were submitted to ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization. The procedure was performed following the Seldinger “one shot” technique. Results: The mean operative time was 4 minutes, with a high rate of success (100%) and a low percentage of complications (2%). Conclusion: The ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization is a safe procedure, rapid and easy to perform. The procedure has a low rate of failures and complications and a …

Associated arterial and venous cerebral manifestations in Behçet's disease

2018

Behcet's disease is a rare multisystemic vasculitis with an etiology that is still unknown. Neurological manifestations may be seen in approximately 5-15% of patients, and both parenchymal and extraparenchymal neurological involvement has been described. When cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is the main extraparenchymal manifestation of Behcet's disease, the condition is then dubbed "angio-Behcet's syndrome". However, arterial involvement is extremely rare, with only one reported case of vasculo-neuro-Behcet's disease, characterized by both venous and intracranial arterial involvement - until now. This report is of two patients diagnosed with Behcet's disease characterized by the concomitan…

Reinterpreting the Magnetic Resonance Signs of Hemodynamic Impairment in the Brains of Multiple Sclerosis Patients From the Perspective of a Recent D…

2010

Multiple sclerosis patients examined with perfusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques have been found to have patterns of abnormal blood flow. These include prolonged mean transit time, a trend toward decreased cerebral blood flow in the area of plaques, and decreased cerebral blood flow and prolonged mean transit time within normal-appearing white matter. In-creased cerebral blood flow and volume and decreased mean transit time (compared with the baseline values before the relapse) were found to precede the development of plaques. In addition, susceptibility-weighted imaging utilizing deoxyhemoglobin as the contrast has revealed that venous blood in cerebral veins of multiple scle…

The place of Ruscus extract, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and vitamin C in the management of chronic venous disease.

2017

Despite continuous improvement in our knowledge and management of chronic venous disease (CVD), certain areas, such as the role of muscarinic receptors in the pathology and treatment of CVD, remain unexplored. The symposium "The place of Ruscus extract, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and vitamin C in the management of CVD", held at the Annual Meeting of the European Venous Forum on 7-9 July 2016 in London, presented an update on the pathophysiology of CVD and highlighted how the combination of Ruscus extract, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and vitamin C (Ruscus/HMC/VitC; Cyclo 3® Fort), may counteract the deleterious processes underlying CVD. The data presented during this symposium are reported …
