Mitigating Cardiotoxicity of Dendrimers: Angiotensin-(1-7) via Its Mas Receptor Ameliorates PAMAM-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction in the Isolated Mammalian Heart by Akhtar, Saghir

“…Herein, we investigated (a) the effect of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer generation (G7, G6, G5, G4 and G3) and surface chemistry (-NH2, -COOH and -OH) on cardiac function in mammalian hearts following ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, and (b) determined if any PAMAM-induced cardiotoxicity could be mitigated by Angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7), a cardioprotective agent. …”

Late-diagnosed complete intravaginal testicular torsion with preserved blood flow and viable testis in an adolescent by Zvizdic, Zlatan

“…In intermittent TT, the degree of spermatic cord twist is ≥ 360°, but spontaneous resolution occurs after a short time. In the mentioned forms of TT, color Doppler ultrasonography (CDS) shows a subtle decreased blood flow or flow that appears symmetrical with the contralateral testis.1 In contrast, complete TT results in testicular ischemia due to compromised blood flow to the affected testis. …”
