Dynamic Block Matching to assess the longitudinal component of the dense motion field of the carotid artery wall in B-mode ultrasound sequences -- Association with coronary artery disease [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: The motion of the common carotid artery tissue layers along the vessel axis during the cardiac cycle, observed in ultrasound imaging, is associated with the presence of established cardiovascular risk factors. However, the vast majority of the methods are based on the tracking of a single point, thus failing to capture the overall motion of ...

A Novel Protein NAB1‐356 Encoded by circRNA circNAB1 Mitigates Atrial Fibrillation by Reducing Inflammation and Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The circRNA circNAB1 is downregulated in AF patient. Silencing circNAB1 promotes collagen deposition and inflammation, whereas overexpression reduces AF susceptibility. circNAB1 encodes the protein NAB1 356 that interacts with EGR1 to mitigate fibrosis and inflammation.

Functional consequences of brain exposure to saturated fatty acids: From energy metabolism and insulin resistance to neuronal damage

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Saturated fatty acids induce insulin resistance in neurons. Neuronal metabolism of palmitic acid alters mitochondrial function. Abstract Introduction Saturated fatty acids (FAs) are the main component of high‐fat diets (HFDs), and high consumption has been associated with the development of insulin resistance, endoplasmic reticulum stress and ...

Endarterectomy of carotid artery bifurcation in the setting of a persistent hypoglossal artery and anomalous collateral vascular supply

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2020
Presented is a patient with carotid artery stenosis resulting in crescendo anterior and posterior circulation transient ischemic attacks. Treatment was complicated by a rare persistent hypoglossal artery (HGA) arising from the left internal carotid ...

Association between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Carotid Artery Disease in a Community-Based Chinese Population: A Cross-Sectional Study

Chinese Medical Journal, 2018
Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases with a high prevalence in the general population. The association between NAFLD and cardiovascular disease has been well addressed in previous studies ...

Continuous and Noninvasive Measurement of Arterial Pulse Pressure and Pressure Waveform using an Image-free Ultrasound System [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The local beat-to-beat local pulse pressure (PP) and blood pressure waveform of arteries, especially central arteries, are important indicators of the course of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Nevertheless, noninvasive measurement of them remains a challenge in the clinic.

3-D Registration on Carotid Artery imaging data: MRI for different timesteps [PDF]

2016 38th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC), 2016
A common problem which is faced by the researchers when dealing with arterial carotid imaging data is the registration of the geometrical structures between different imaging modalities or different timesteps. The use of the "Patient Position" DICOM field is not adequate to achieve accurate results due to the fact that the carotid artery is a ...

Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Previous research suggests that AIP may prevent atherogenic foamy macrophage formation. This study reveals that AIP, via its chaperone interaction with AHR, inhibits p38‐c‐JUN‐mediated transactivation of HM13, which encodes the ERAD protease HM13/SPP. HM13/SPP promotes foamy macrophage formation in addition to atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage ...
