Abstract

To explore the feasibility and safety of the femoral vein as a vascular graft material. A total of 114 specimens of lower limbs were harvested from 60 adult cadavers; the lower extremity femoral veins, popliteal vein, deep femoral vein, and the communicating branch were dissected and observed; the length of the available femoral vein, from the point at which deep femoral vein and femoral vein joint to the lower edge of abductor hiatus, and squash vein diameter were measured. Computed tomography venography (CTV) data from 120 patients with lower extremity femoral vein thrombosis were analysed, and the venous reflux pathway of the lower extremity was observed. The average height of male was 158.3 cm, and the available length of femoral vein was (18.8 +/- 2.3) cm (relative length, 0.118 +/- 0.013), and squash vein diameter was (15.8 +/- 0.8) mm. The average height of female was 149.2 cm, and the available length of femoral vein was (15.1 +/- 1.5) cm (relative length, 0.101 +/- 0.010), and squash vein diameter was (14.0 +/- 1.1) mm. There were significant differences in the length of the available femoral vein (t = 6.354, P = 0.000) and squash vein diameter (t = 5.555, P = 0.000) between male and female. Positive correlation was fo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
