C-reactive protein: associations with haematological variables, cardiovascular risk factors and prevalent cardiovascular disease [PDF]
C-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, this association is confounded by mutual relationships with both classical and haematological cardiovascular risk factors. We, therefore, measured CRP with a

Alzheimer and vascular brain diseases: Focal and diffuse subforms. [PDF]
Alois Alzheimer is best known for his description of the pre-senile neurodegenerative disease named after him. However, his previous interest in vascular brain diseases, underlying cognitive and behavioral changes, was very strong. Besides describing the

Antioxidant status in acute stroke patients and patients at stroke risk [PDF]
Background and Purpose: Antioxidant enzymes like copper/ zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and gluthatione peroxidase (GSHPx) are part of intracellular protection mechanisms to overcome oxidative stress and are known to be activated in vascular ...

Separation and characterization of plasma lipoproteins of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)
A group of 14 adult male rhesus monkeys was maintained on a low cholesterol–high fat diet. Periodically, animals were fasted and blood samples were taken for characterization of the plasma lipoproteins.

Thin-layer electrophoresis of serum lipoproteins
A method is described for semiquantitative study of serum lipoproteins, with particular reference to the very low density fractions involved in transport of triglycerides. Serum samples were subjected to electrophoresis in thin layers of starch granules;

Measurement of retinal vessel widths from fundus images based on 2-D modeling [PDF]
Changes in retinal vessel diameter are an important sign of diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis and diabetes mellitus. Obtaining precise measurements of vascular widths is a critical and demanding process in automated retinal image analysis ...
