Can Mesenchymal Stem Cells Inhibit the Formation of Saccular Aneurysms?
Intracranial saccular aneurysms are pathological dilations of cerebral blood vessels that can spontaneously rupture leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Our current understanding of saccular aneurysm pathogenesis involves a complex interplay of predisposing factors and inflammatory …

CT angiographic detection of cerebral aneurysms in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage in a South African institution
… (92% in both groups), small (94% and 90%) and saccular (96% and 87%) respectively. Significantly more fusiform aneurysms (13% vs 6%) were seen in the earlier group. 8 % of patients had multiple aneurysms. Less than 1% were ‘giant' ( >20mm). The mean age of the patients was the same for both …

A Computer-based, Quantitative Image Analysis Of The Geometry Of Human Cerebral Arterial Bifurcations
… transition coincides with the locations of saccular aneurysms, medial defects and intimal cushions. It is postulated that flow disturbances arising from an abrupt change in the acceleration of the flow in this apical region may contribute to the development of these early vascular lesions.

The Effects of Growth Hormone in the Inner Ear of Zebrafish (<i>Danio rerio</i>) during Hair Cell Regeneration
… GH-injected group exhibited greater numbers of saccular hair cell bundles compared to the buffer-injected group. These results indicate that GH promotes hair cell regeneration following acoustic damage. Future studies are needed to examine the potential therapeutic benefits of GH in the …

The Acoustics of Cerebral Aneurysms
Stroke is not only the second leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for several million deaths per year, but also a leading factor of disability. Ruptured aneurysms are the most common cause of spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage, a devastating type of stroke. Aneurysms are localised …
