Characterizing Combined Central and Peripheral Demyelination—Insights From a Multimodal Comparison With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy and Multiple Sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Combined central and peripheral demyelination (CCPD) is a rare dysimmune disorder sharing features with multiple sclerosis (MS) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Direct comparisons of central and peripheral diagnostic findings across these entities remain limited. We, therefore, performed a

Role of Low Ankle–Brachial Index in Cardiovascular and Mortality Risk Compared with Major Risk Conditions

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019
Cardiovascular prevention is of particular interest in persons with asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease. We aimed to quantify its association with mortality and cardiovascular outcomes, compared to other indicators of high risk.

The Flail Limb Syndrome

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The flail limb syndrome is primarily a lower motor neuron disorder that initially affects proximal arm muscles (flail arm syndrome—FAS) or distal leg muscles (flail leg syndrome—FLS). Both were recognized early on (1886 for FAS and 1918 for FLS) as somewhat distinct from classic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Ankle brachial pressure index in normal, healthy, younger adults

, 2013
Doppler ultrasound and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) calculations are used in the assessment of lower limb vascularity, specifically to determine arterial deficiency. ABPI is important as it is used as an indicator when deciding management options

Diabetic Foot Spa Implementation in Early Neuropathy Diagnosis Based on Blood Glucose Levels, Foot Sensitivity and the Ankle Brachial Index in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus

Jurnal Ners, 2019
Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a cause of morbidity mainly due to vascular complications. The prevention of diabetic foot problems can be done through metabolic control and foot exercises. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of

Photoplethysmographic Prediction of the Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index through a Machine Learning Approach

Applied Sciences, 2020
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death. Several markers have been proposed to predict cardiovascular morbidity. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) marker is defined as the ratio between the ankle and the arm systolic blood pressures, and it is ...

Prediabetes, Malignant Ventricular Hypertrophy and Stroke: The SPRINT Trial

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Prediabetes and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are common risk factors in adults with hypertension. Whether their coexistence, particularly in the presence of subclinical myocardial injury or stress (malignant LVH), confers a heightened stroke risk is unknown.

The Association of Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index and Ankle-Brachial Index with Macroangiopathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2019
Aims: This study elucidates the association of macroangiopathy development in type 2 diabetes patients with various arteriosclerosis risk factors (ARFs) and results of cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI).

Cholesterol accumulation in monocytes is associated with the severity of diabetic complications and the efficacy of glycemic control interventions in patients with type 2 diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
This study reveals that monocyte cholesterol accumulation correlates with the severity of diabetic complications and predicts post‐discharge glycemic deterioration. These findings suggest that monocytic cholesterol serves as a novel translational biomarker reflecting ‘metabolic memory’ and therapeutic resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes ...

Preliminary study to investigate the normal range of Ankle Brachial Pressure Index in young adults

, 2007
Aim. The aim of this study was to find the normal range of Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) for healthy adults in the 20–40-year age group. The hypothesis was: there is no difference between the accepted normal value of ABPI (1•00) and the observed ...
