Abdominal aortic aneurysm
This document provides an overview of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It defines AAAs as a dilatation of the aorta over 50% of normal diameter. AAAs are classified based on location and morphology. Risk factors include older age, male sex, smoking, and family history. Small AAAs under 4cm are monitored. Larger or symptomatic AAAs require surgical repair, either open surgery or the less invasive endovascular aneurysm repair. The goal of treatment is to prevent AAA rupture, which has a high mortality rate.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
This document discusses abdominal aortic aneurysms. Key points include:
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms are defined as a dilation of the aorta to over 1.5 times its normal diameter. Risk factors include age over 50 for men and 70 for women, family history, and smoking.
- Aneurysms rupture when the wall tension exceeds the strength of the aneurysm wall, which depends on size, shape, blood pressure, and the material properties of the wall.
- Treatment options include open surgical repair or endovascular stent graft placement. Complications can include cardiac, pulmonary, and renal issues. Late complications include anastomotic failures or new aneurysm formation. Five-year survival after
Aortic abdominal aneurism
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a pathological dilatation of the normal aortic lumen that can be either fusiform or saccular in shape. AAAs affect about 2% of the population and rupture risk increases with diameter. Elective repair has a mortality of 1.5% while emergency repair has a 50% mortality rate. Screening is recommended for men aged 65-75 who smoke and men and women over 50 with a family history. Surgical repair or endovascular repair depends on aneurysm anatomy, with endovascular repair allowing for shorter hospital stays and recovery times. Prompt recognition and treatment of a ruptured AAA is critical to reduce high mortality rates from rupture.

a rough guide to abdominal aortic aneurysms
The abdominal aorta is the section of the aorta located in the abdomen. Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) occur when this section of the aorta abnormally enlarges due to weakening of the aortic wall. AAAs are usually asymptomatic until rupture, which can cause life-threatening internal bleeding. Ultrasound screening for men over 65 can detect AAAs and help prevent ruptures. Treatment options for AAAs include open surgical repair and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) via catheter deployment of a stent graft. While EVAR has lower risks, open repair may provide longer-term durability in some cases.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
1. Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a dilatation of the abdominal aorta to over 3cm in diameter, most commonly caused by atherosclerosis. It affects around 2% of the population and is more common in males and smokers.
2. Surgical or endovascular repair is recommended when the aneurysm reaches 5.5cm in men or 5cm in women to prevent rupture, which has a high risk of death. Endovascular repair involves placing a stent graft via catheterization to exclude the aneurysm from blood flow.
3. Postoperative monitoring involves imaging to check for endoleaks, where blood flows into the excluded aneurysm sac, which may require further intervention. Smoking cess
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are dilations of the abdominal aorta that increase the risk of rupture. AAAs are typically repaired surgically either through open or endovascular procedures.
- AAAs are caused by degradation of elastic and connective tissues in the aortic wall from factors such as smoking, genetics, and atherosclerosis. Left untreated, AAAs gradually enlarge and have a high risk of fatal rupture.
- Clinical diagnosis involves abdominal examination for a pulsatile mass and imaging tests. Treatment depends on AAA size and involves surgery once a threshold diameter is reached to prevent rupture. Emergency surgery is needed for ruptured AAAs.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm
An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal bulging or swelling of the aorta, the main blood vessel that supplies blood to the body. The most common type is an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which occurs below the renal arteries in the abdomen. Risk factors include smoking, hypertension, and genetics. Symptoms may include abdominal or back pain. Diagnosis involves ultrasound or CT scan. Surgery is recommended for aneurysms over 5 cm to prevent rupture, which can be fatal. Surgical options include open repair or endovascular grafting through catheters to place a stent graft. Post-op care focuses on monitoring for complications like bleeding or infection.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. A Review
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are permanent dilations of the aorta that affect 150,000 people per year in the US, 15,000 of which are fatal. AAAs can be diagnosed through ultrasound, CT, CTA, MRI, and other imaging methods. Treatment options include open surgical repair or endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) where stent grafts are deployed via catheter to exclude the aneurysm from blood flow. Common issues after EVAR are endoleaks where blood leaks around the stent graft, and stent graft migration.

An aortic aneurysm is an abnormal dilation of the arterial wall caused by localized weakness and stretching in the medial layer or wall of an artery.
Endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms
Endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms has significantly reduced mortality and morbidity compared to open surgery. It involves placing stent grafts using catheters to exclude aneurysms from blood flow. Proper patient selection based on aneurysm anatomy and vessel access is important for success. Follow up imaging is needed to monitor for complications like endoleaks. Mid-term results show endovascular repair provides good outcomes with 85% survival at 18-24 months for thoracic aneurysms. It has emerged as an alternative to open surgical repair for properly selected abdominal aortic aneurysm cases.
Aortic aneurysm and stenosis

1) Chest pain is a common complaint in correctional facilities that requires careful risk assessment given the risks of missing acute coronary syndrome.
2) History, physical exam, EKG, and cardiac biomarkers like troponin can help stratify cardiac risk but have limitations and tests results must be interpreted cautiously.
3) For high-risk inmates, further cardiology evaluation is generally warranted even with negative initial tests, while low-risk inmates may not require testing. Proper protocols and documentation are important.

HEART__DISEASE[1].pptx
Heart disease is a broad term used to describe several diseases that affect the heart. Some common types of heart disease include coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. Heart disease is often caused by risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, an unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. Symptoms of heart disease can include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, pain in the neck, and indigestion or heartburn. Tests like electrocardiograms, stress tests, and angiography are used to diagnose heart disease. Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, exercising, and controlling blood pressure are recommended for treating and preventing heart disease.
Acute abdomen
This document discusses acute abdomen and provides information on evaluating and diagnosing various potential causes. It defines acute abdomen and outlines the challenges surgeons face. A full history, physical exam, and further investigations are needed to make an exact diagnosis. Common differential diagnoses include appendicitis, peptic ulcer disease, cholecystitis, bowel obstruction, pancreatitis, diverticulitis, renal colic, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ectopic pregnancy. Key diagnostic tests include bloodwork, imaging like CT scans, and ultrasound.
Abdominal Pain in the Elderly
The document discusses abdominal pain in the elderly. It begins by stating that abdominal pain is a common presenting symptom in elderly patients that can be caused by a wide range of diseases. Diagnosis can be challenging in elderly patients due to physiological changes like reduced sensitivity to pain. Some major causes of abdominal pain discussed include appendicitis, cholecystitis, small bowel obstruction, perforated peptic ulcer, diverticulitis, mesenteric infarction, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. The document provides details on the clinical presentation and management of these conditions in elderly patients.
CVDs & their MNTs
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are disorders of the heart and blood vessels. The document discusses four common CVDs: coronary artery disease, stroke, myocardial infarction, and peripheral arterial disease. Coronary artery disease is caused by plaque buildup in the arteries supplying the heart. Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked or reduced. Myocardial infarction, also called a heart attack, happens when blood flow to the heart is reduced or stopped. Peripheral arterial disease is caused by blockages in the arteries supplying the arms and legs. The document provides details on the causes, risk factors, symptoms, tests, and treatment recommendations for managing these four cardiovascular conditions.
Types of cancer
Brain cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain that can be benign or malignant and spread to other parts of the body. Common symptoms include headaches, seizures, speech problems, imbalance or difficulty walking, and impaired or restricted vision.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。
