Role of Interleukin-18 in vascular injury: a new pharmacological target for the prevention of restenosis

, 2006
Background: Studies in humans as well as in animal models suggest that interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a crucial role in vascular pathologies. IL-18 is a strong predictor of cardiovascular death in angina and is involved in atherotic plaque destabilization.

Excimer laser angioplasty versus balloon angioplasty in functional and total coronary occlusions

, 1996
Registries of excimer laser coronary angioplasty have reported good results in the treatment of complex coronary artery disease, including total or subtotal coronary occlusions. One hundred three patients (103 lesions) with a functional or total coronary

Intima‐Media Thickness Progression Rate and Primary Unassisted Patency Failure in Arteriovenous Fistulas: A Prospective Cohort Study

Hemodialysis International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Failure of autogenous arteriovenous fistulas (AV fistulas) due to venous neointimal hyperplasia is a major clinical challenge. Whether the rate of progression in venous intima‐media thickness predicts primary unassisted patency failure remains unknown.

Back‐up arteriovenous fistula in peritoneal dialysis patients: a retrospective cohort study of long‐term meaningful outcomes

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Back‐up arteriovenous fistula (bAVF) is used in peritoneal dialysis (PD) to avoid haemodialysis transfer via a central venous catheter (CVC). However, no previous study examined mortality or complications associated with bAVF creation.

Sudomotor dysfunction in people with type 1 diabetes with and without clinical peripheral neuropathy: A study from Pune, India

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims It is appreciated that current screening tools for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) often fail to detect early disease. Sudomotor (sweat gland) dysfunction, among the earliest manifestations of DPN, can be measured objectively by the SUDOSCAN® device. We compared SUDOSCAN® with conventional validated screening (Michigan
