ARHR2 can cause weakening in the bones, pain in bones and joints bone deformities (knocked knees, bowed legs), dental problems, calcification of ligaments and short stature. With proper treatment the bones can be strengthened and side effects minimized. [7] [8] [9] GACI Type 2 is caused by mutations in the ABCC6 gene. It is called ABCC6 Deficiency.
Splenic infarction is a condition in which blood flow supply to the spleen is compromised, [1] leading to partial or complete infarction (tissue death due to oxygen shortage) in the organ. [2] Splenic infarction occurs when the splenic artery or one of its branches are occluded, for example by a blood clot. [3]
Splenic artery aneurysms are rare, but still the third most common abdominal aneurysm, after aneurysms of the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries. [2] [3] They may occur in pregnant women in the third trimester and rupture carries a maternal mortality of greater than 50% and a fetal mortality of 70 to 90%.
A. Pelvic and lower extremity radiograph shows extensive calcification of the femoral arteries. B. Translumbar aortography shows near-total obstruction of the femoral arteries. Mönckeberg's arteriosclerosis, or Mönckeberg's sclerosis, is a non-inflammatory form of arteriosclerosis (artery hardening), which differs from atherosclerosis ...
The trabecular arteries are the name of the branches of the splenic artery after it passes into the trabeculae of the spleen, where it branches.When these arteries then reach the white pulp, and become covered with periarteriolar lymphoid sheaths, the name changes again to central arteries (or central arterioles).
Splenic artery embolization is a minimally invasive procedure and, where successful, avoids splenectomy. If an individual's spleen is enlarged, as is frequent in mononucleosis , most physicians will advise against activities (such as contact sports ) where injury to the abdomen could be catastrophic.
For long-term treatment of congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) if severe hemolytic anemia develops [5] The spread of gastric cancer to splenic tissue; When using the splenic artery for kidney revascularisation in renovascular hypertension. For long-term treatment of congenital pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency
The marginal zone (MZ) is a highly transited area that receives large amounts of blood from the general circulation. Remarkably, the splenic microvasculature shows striking differences in mice and humans. In humans, the spleen receives blood from the splenic artery, which branches into central and penicillar arterioles. [5]
