Endoleaks after endovascular graft treatment of aortic aneurysms: Classification, risk factors, and outcome [PDF]
Purpose: Incomplete endovascular graft exclusion of an abdominal aortic aneurysm results in an endoleak. To better understand the pathogenesis, significance, and fate of endoleaks, we analyzed our experience with endovascular aneurysm repair.

Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Specific Coronary Artery Calcification in Postmenopausal Women [PDF]
Background: Myocardial infarctions at different locations have been related to different sets of risk factors. This study was designed to examine the association between cardiovascular risk factors and specific coronary artery calcification (CAC ...

Vitamin D, a modulator of musculoskeletal health in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
The spectrum of activity of vitamin D goes beyond calcium and bone homeostasis, and growing evidence suggests that vitamin D contributes to maintain musculoskeletal health in healthy subjects as well as in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD ...

Arterial calcification and bone physiology: role of the bone–vascular axis [PDF]
Bone never forms without vascular interactions. This simple statement of fact does not adequately reflect the physiological and pharmacological implications of the relationship. The vasculature is the conduit for nutrient exchange between bone and the rest of the body.

Intravascular ultrasound imaging: In vitro validation and pathologic correlation [PDF]
Intravascuiar ultrasound imaging is a new method in which high resolution images of the arterial wall are obtained with use of a catheter placed within an artery. An in vitro Plexiglas well model was used to validate measurements of the luminal area, and

Evaluation of intracranial physiological calcifications in Computed Tomography
Introduction: Intracranial physiological calcifications are not related to any pathological conditions, rather they are due to the normal deposition of calcium or iron in the different parts of the brain. Computed Tomography (CT) scan is superior to all other modalities in terms of sensitivity in the detection of intracranial physiological ...

Physiological controls on seawater uptake and calcification in the benthic foraminifer Ammonia tepida [PDF]
Abstract. During the last decades conceptual models describing the calcification pathway of foraminifera and its physiological controls have been developed. These models are derived by combining data of tracer experiments and microscopic observations obtained from different species.

Physiologic intracranial calcifications incidentally detected on cone beam computed tomography
This study aims to determine the incidence of physiologic intracranial calcifications on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to contribute to the differentiation between physiologic and pathologic intracranial calcifications by sharing their characteristic appearances, with the largest number of patients in the literature and many different types ...

Calcification of Synthetic Vascular Grafts: A Systematic Review
Objective: Calcification of vascular grafts, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts may contribute to graft failure, but is under reported.
