| | INTESTINAL ISCHEMIA - Patients - American College of Gastroenterology |
 | | Intestinal ischemia is the term used to describe the result of a variety of disorders all of which ultimately reflect a state of insufficient blood flow to the small intestine, the colon, or both -- collectively referred to as the intestines. | | | The most common cause of ischemia from venous obstruction is a thrombus which, as it interferes with return of blood flow from the intestines, produces intestinal congestion, and resulting intestinal swelling and thickening, as well as bleeding. | | | There has been extraordinary progress, however, in medical understanding of intestinal ischemia over the past 50 years; a growing number of physicians now recognize the opportunity to diagnose intestinal ischemia early, thereby improving the outcomes for their patients. |

| | Cardiac Ischemia Recovery & Prevention |
| | Ischemia is often the cause of chest pain known as angina pectoris (AN' jih-nah or an-JI' nah PEK' tor-is). | | | Ischemia (is-KE' me-ah) is a condition that occurs when blood flow and oxygen are kept from a particular part of the body. | | | Cardiac ischemia is the name for this condition when the heart is the body part targeted. |

| | VascularWeb: Mesenteric Ischemia |
| | The goal of treatment for mesenteric ischemia (both chronic and acute) is to re-open the artery to allow adequate blood flow to reach your intestine to allow it to work properly. | | | Narcotic pain medications may not adequately alleviate the pain that is associated with mesenteric ischemia. | | | Ischemia occurs when your blood cannot flow through your arteries as well as it should, and your intestines do not receive the necessary oxygen to perform normally. |

| | Effects of pharmacotherapy and training on recovery after cerebral ischemia in rats |
| | The recovery after focal cerebral ischemia was assessed by behavioral outcome in different tests measuring sensorimotor (limb-placing, beam-walking, foot-slip and staircase tests) and cognitive (water-maze test) functions. | | | Focal cerebral ischemia was used to attain a more clinically relevant model of stroke, since the major human strokes are focal. | | | Focal cerebral ischemia was used to attain better clinically relevant model of stroke, since major human strokes are focal. |

| | eMedicine - Myocardial Ischemia : Article by Michael E Zevitz, MD |
| | Epidemiological studies of sudden death, as well as clinical and postmortem studies of patients with silent myocardial ischemia and studies of patients with chronic angina pectoris, suggest that many patients with extensive coronary artery obstruction never experience angina pectoris in any of its recognized forms (ie, stable, unstable, variant). | | | When monitored, patients with this form of silent ischemia exhibit some episodes of ischemia that are associated with chest discomfort and other episodes that are not, ie, episodes of silent (asymptomatic) ischemia. | | | Background: Myocardial ischemia is a condition in which oxygen deprivation to the heart muscle is accompanied by inadequate removal of metabolites because of reduced blood flow or perfusion. |

| | ISCHEMIA AND REPERFUSION INJURY IN CRYONICS |
| | The longer the ischemia, the worse is the reperfusion injury to blood vessels due to free-radicals and hemorrhage -- and the greater the chance of "no reflow" (impeded circulation). | | | Under non-ideal circumstances room-temperature ischemia is often considerably more than 17 minutes. | | | Under ideal circumstances, however, a cryonics patient experiences little room-temperature ischemia. |

| | We also demonstrated that in the bladder and urethra the response to field (neurogenic) stimulation is the most sensitive form of stimulation to ischemia. | | | Neurogenic relaxation of the prostatic tissue was improved by combined treatment with indomethacin and L-arginine in the hypercholesterolemia but not in the chronic prostate ischemia group. | | | Decreased relaxation of the ischemic tissue to electrical field stimulation appears to involve the nitric oxide pathway. |

| | Intestinal ischemia |
| | If your doctor suspects intestinal ischemia, he or she may want to conduct a thorough medical evaluation because signs and symptoms of intestinal ischemia can be similar to those of other disorders, such as ulcers, as well as stomach, pancreatic or colon cancer. | | | Sometimes intestinal ischemia occurs because a portion of your intestine becomes trapped due to a hernia or adhesions from a previous abdominal surgery. | | | Many of the risk factors for intestinal ischemia are those associated with atherosclerosis and clogging of the mesenteric arteries. |

| | ASM 15(4): Reconstruction for Limb Ischemia |
| | Gintaras Zukauskas, MD, PhD; Henrikas Ulevicius, MD Treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI) remains one of the most demanding problems of vascular surgery, especially when it is due to multisegmental occlusive arterial disease. | | | In most cases, when the patient presented with ischemia of the limb due to graft thrombosis, an operation to restore the blood flow was attempted. | | | Analysis of the data demonstrates that simultaneous multisegmental reconstructions for critical limb ischemia are a safe and effective method of treatment and superior when compared with two-stage surgery. |

| | Mesenteric Ischemia |
| | Acute ischemia must be treated with surgery within hours or the intestines, and possibly the patient, will die. | | | Many patients do not realize that the pain usually occurs after meals and so do not mention this to their doctor. | | | (or sudden) mesenteric ischemia occurs when the arteries get so narrow that the blood flow to the intestine is cut off completely. |

| | Re: Why do you feel the prickly feeling after releasing pressure on a nerve |
| | The reason that ischemia causes paraesthesia is that eliminating a nerve's blood supply changes the excitability of the nerve. | | | Ischemia causes changes in the excitability of nerve fibers. | | | Your arm falls asleep not because of the pressure on the nerve, but because the pressure deprives the nerve of its blood supply, a condition called ischemia. |
