An Index for Quantitative Assessment of Lip Augmentation [PDF]

open access: yesAesthetic Surgery Journal, 2010
Lip dimensions and their relation to the whole face have been discussed mainly in the dental literature. There have been few attempts to scientifically measure the degree of lip augmentation, regardless of method.The authors describe a Lip Index that will allow reliable, quantitative analysis of the human lip complex, which is necessary to assess the ...

The feasibility for dicrotic augmentation index to replace tidal augmentation index

2014 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation (ICIA), 2014
Aortic augmentation index (AI) has great significance in predicting cardiovascular diseases. To obtain AI the tidal wave crest will be need, which is difficult to identify sometimes. Fortunately, it is easier to obtain the dicrotic wave crest, which can derive a parameter called dicrotic augmentation index (DAI).

Augmented Zagreb index

Journal of Mathematical Chemistry, 2010
Inspired by recent work on the atom-bond connectivity (ABC) index we proposed a new topological index, augmented Zagreb index (AZI). The tight upper and lower bounds of AZI for chemical trees are obtained. Moreover, it has been shown that among all trees the star has the minumum AZI value.

Augmentation index is associated with cardiovascular risk

Journal of Hypertension, 2002
Augmentation index is a parameter measured by pulse wave analysis (PWA) and is used as a surrogate measure of arterial stiffness. The aim of this study was to assess whether augmentation index is associated with cardiovascular risk, as well as to evaluate whether the determinants of augmentation index are different in patients with cardiovascular ...

Augmentation index in resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH)

Clinical Endocrinology, 2009
SummaryObjective  Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is associated with a varied clinical presentation. The cardiac effects of RTH have been described but vascular function has yet to be fully evaluated in this condition. We have measured the arterial function of those with RTH to assess any vascular changes.Design  An observational study.Patients ...

Augmentation Index Is Elevated in Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2009
The augmentation index, the ratio of the ejection pressure from the heart to the reflection pressure from the arterial system, has recently been recognized as one of the indexes of left ventricular afterload. We studied it in patients with aortic aneurysm and dissection, using carotid artery diameter waveform obtained from an echo-tracking system.Forty-

Augmented Velocity Index: A New Doppler Index Associated with Arterial Stiffness

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2019
Augmented Velocity Index (Avi) is a new Doppler index developed to quantify velocity changes at the late systolic peak. We examined its reliability, association with arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk factors. The Avi is calculated as (late systolic peak velocity - early systolic peak velocity)/(highest peak systolic velocity - end-diastolic ...

Aortic augmentation index in endurance athletes: a role for cardiorespiratory fitness

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2016
Endurance exercise improves cardiovascular health and reduces mortality risk. Augmentation index (AIx) reflects adverse loading exerted on the heart and large arteries and predicts future cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to establish whether endurance athletes possess lower AIx and aortic blood pressure compared to healthy controls,
