Imaging Characteristics of Persistent Carotid‐Vertebrobasilar Anastomoses Detected by Ultrasound
In this case series, we aimed to evaluate the ultrasonic characteristics of 35 patients with persistent carotid‐vertebrobasilar anastomoses (PCVBA), a rare variant between the anterior and posterior cerebral circulation. Ultrasound detected seven (30.4%, 7/23) primitive trigeminal arteries (PTA), eight (100%, 8/8) primitive hypoglossal arteries (PHA ...

ABSTRACT Hypercoagulability contributes to atherosclerosis (AS) progression in individuals suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and thromboelastography (TEG) is a valuable diagnostic tool. This hospital‐based cross‐sectional study assessed the clinical efficacy of TEG parameters in detecting hypercoagulability and subclinical AS by purposively ...

ABSTRACT S100 calcium‐binding protein A7 (S100A7) has been implicated in psoriasis and other inflammatory diseases. However, the function of S100A7 in oral lichen planus (OLP), a chronic inflammatory disease, remains unclear. OLP was induced in mice by transplanting human OLP lesions into the backs of thymus‐free mice, and an in vitro cell model was ...
