Excerpt: An aneurysm or aneurism (from Ancient Greek: - aneurusma "dilation", from - aneurunein "to dilate"), is a localized, blood-filled dilation (balloon-like bulge) of a blood vessel caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall. Aneurysms most commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and in the aorta (the main artery coming out of the heart, a so-called aortic aneurysm). As the size of an aneurysm increases, there is an increased risk of rupture, which can result in severe hemorrhage, other complications or even death. Aneurysms can be classified in several different ways: In a true aneurysm. the inner layers of a vessel have bulged outside the outer layer that normally confines them. The aneurysm is surrounded by these inner layers. A false or pseudoaneurysm does not primarily involve such distortion of the vessel. It is a collection of blood leaking completely out of an artery or vein, but confined next to the vessel by the surrounding tissue....More: http://booksllc.net/?id=322553 ... Read more

Product Description
This book was created on the foundation of a sketchy diary kept by the author during the three months her daughter, Karen Lewis, was hospitalized at Bryan LGH East Medical Center and at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital, both in Lincoln, Neb., following a cerebral aneurysm. It includes memories and reflections of the author as she sat by her daughter's bedside.

It also includes pictures of clay sculpture created by Karen before the aneurysm as well as poems written by her during the same period of time, each tied in some way to the particular incidents of the day reviewed. Also included are eight pages in a section written by Karen entitled "My Life in a Dysfunctional Body." ... Read more

Product Description
The management of cerebral aneurysms is still the subject of controversy in spite of recent dramatic advances in surgical techniques and neuro-intensive care. Currently, two main topics in this field have totally different aspects: (1) the management of unruptured cerebral aneurysms as a preventive medicine and (2) neurocritical management of severe subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) after the rupture. These topics were discussed during the Swiss-Japanese Joint Conference in Zurich, Switzerland, in May 2001. Selected papers from this meeting are included in this volume presenting new clinical experiences in order to find out updated and proper ways to focus the treatment and providing updated information on neurocritical care aspects as well as endovascular and surgical treatment modalities carried out in daily practice in Zurich and Japan. ...

Product Description
Cerebral aneurysms develop in about 4 % of westernpopulations and involve the risk of rupture. Bloodflow patterns are of interest for understanding thepathogenesis of the lesions for a specific patient.Velocity mapping with phase-contrast magneticresonance angiography (PC-MRA) is a non-invasivemethod for in vivo measurements on blood velocity.Based on these, a realistic patient-specific computermodel can be generated and the flow field with allhemodynamic parameters can be simulated. As theaccuracy of the PC-MRA data and subsequent modelingmust be validated, a realistic flow field in asilicone phantom was investigated. Velocities wereacquired under equal conditions with PC-MRA, laserDoppler velocimetry (LDV) and computational fluiddynamics (CFD). The results showed that PC-MRA wasqualitatively, but not quantitatively, similar to LDVand CFD in straight arteries, while the accuracy ofPC-MRA decreased in regions with complex flowpatterns as present in aneurysms. Thus, it isappropriate to use PC-MRA as inlet conditions for CFDto calculate hemodynamic parameters in aneurysms,rather than to derive them directly from themeasurements. ... Read more

Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of aneurysms. An aneurysm is a bulge or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. If an aneurysm grows large, it can burst and cause dangerous bleeding or even death. Most aneurysms occur in the aorta, the main artery traveling from the heart through the chest and abdomen. Aneurysms also can happen in arteries in the brain, heart and other parts of the body. If an aneurysm in the brain bursts, it causes a stroke.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value! The Encyclopedia presents a collection of official documents about a wide range of medical topics, diseases, illnesses, health and wellness. There is vital information from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Cancer Institute, and more.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Aneurysm of the aortic sinus, also known as the sinus of Valsalva, is comparatively rare. When present, it is usually in either the right (65-85%) or in the noncoronary (10-30%) sinus, rarely in the left (< 5%) sinus. This type of aneurysm is typically congenital and may be associated with heart defects. It is sometimes associated with Marfan syndrome or Loeys-Dietz syndrome, but may also result from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, atherosclerosis, syphilis, cystic medial necrosis, chest injury, or infective endocarditis. ...
