Risk of Acute Kidney Injury after Percutaneous Pharmacomechanical Thrombectomy Using AngioJet in Venous and Arterial Thrombosis

Guillermo A. Escobar, Dillon Burks, Matthew R. Abate, Mohammed F. Faramawi, more

Annals of Vascular Surgery > 2017 > 42 > C > 238-245

Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy is commonly used to treat acute thrombotic syndromes. AngioJet (AJ) forcibly sprays fibrinolytics to fragment and aspirate thrombus. It is known to cause hemolysis and gross hematuria, yet potential consequences to renal function after AJ remain unstudied. We sought to determine the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) after AJ when compared with other lysis techniques...

The association between urinary cadmium and frontal T wave axis deviation in the US adults

Mohammed F. Faramawi, Youcheng Liu, James L. Caffrey, Yu-Sheng Lin, more

International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health > 2012 > 215 > 3 > 406-410

The association between environmental cadmium exposure and frontal T wave axis deviation, a valuable and easily detected subclinical marker of ventricular arrhythmias in individuals without heart disease is unexplored and unknown. The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that cadmium exposure predicts frontal T-wave axis deviation. US adults 40 years of age or older from NHANES III were...

Mortality in workers employed in pig abattoirs and processing plants

Eric S. Johnson, Harrison Ndetan, Martha J. Felini, Mohammed F. Faramawi, more

Environmental Research > 2011 > 111 > 6 > 871-876

Objective: workers in slaughterhouses and processing plants that handle pigs, and pork butchers/meatcutters have been little studied for health risks associated with employment, in spite of the fact that they are potentially exposed to oncogenic and non-oncogenic transmissible agents and chemical carcinogens at work. We report here on an update of mortality in 510 workers employed in abattoirs and...

Background Kidney cancers account for almost 2% of all cancers worldwide, with 150,000 new cases and 78,000 deaths from the disease occurring annually. An increase in the incidence of kidney neoplasm in western countries was noticed in the past few years. Between 1988 and 1992, the incidence of renal cancer per 100,000 person-year among males in USA, Norway, and France was 34.1, 9.00, and 16.10, respectively...
