Association between treatment with coil embolization of renal artery aneurysm and resistant hypertension

Hypertension is the number one risk factor in preventable causes of death in the world. Resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure that remains uncontrolled despite at least three antihypertensive medications including a diuretic. Treatment of hypertension includes many modalities from lifestyle changing to multiple drug using, angioplasty. In this case report, we aim to emphasize the effects of renal artery aneurysm treatment on resistant hypertension

Does median nerve translate pre- and postoperatively in carpal tunnel syndrome?

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the distance between the median nerve and the hook of the hamate pre- and postoperatively in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and to investigate the efficiency of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis and postoperative follow-up

The importance of craniovertebral and cervicomedullary angles in cervicogenic headache

PURPOSE Many studies have indicated that cervicogenic headache may originate from the cervical structures innervated by the upper cervical spinal nerves. To date, no study has investigated whether narrowing of the craniovertebral angle (CVA) or cervicomedullary angle (CMA) affects the three upper cervical spinal nerves. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of CVA and/or CMA narrowing on the occurrence of cervicogenic headache. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred and five patients diagnosed with cervicogenic headache were included in the study. The pain scores of patients were determined using a visual analog scale. The nonheadache control group consisted of 40 volunteers. CVA and CMA values were measured on sagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), on two occasions by two radiologists. Angle values and categorized pain scores were compared statistically between the groups. RESULTS Intraobserver and interobserver agreement was over 97% for all measurements. Pain scores increased with decreasing CVA and CMA values. Mean angle values were significantly different among the pain categories (P < 0.001). The pain score was negatively correlated with CMA (Spearman correlation coefficient, r(s), -0.676; P < 0.001) and CVA values (r(s), -0.725; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION CVA or CMA narrowing affects the occurrence of cervicogenic headache. There is an inverse relationship between the angle values and pain scores
