Carotid Artery Tortuosity Is Associated with Connective Tissue Diseases
American Journal of Neuroradiology, 2019 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There is a general assumption in the cerebrovascular literature that there is an association between carotid artery tortuosity and connective tissues disease; however, this has not been firmly established.

Microbial risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: potential therapeutic options [PDF]
, 2008 Infection and inflammation may have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This hypothesis is supported by an increasing number of reports on the interaction between chronic infection, inflammation, and atherogenesis.

The American journal of roentgenology, radium therapy, and nuclear medicine, 1968 A review of more than 5,000 cerebral angiograms revealed circular spastic contractions of the cervical carotid artery in 5 per cent of the cases. In addition, 28 examples of other nonatheromatous irregularities and dilatations of that vessel were found ...

Machine learning for detection of stenoses and aneurysms: application in a physiologically realistic virtual patient database [PDF]
Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology (2021), 2021 This study presents an application of machine learning (ML) methods for detecting the presence of stenoses and aneurysms in the human arterial system. Four major forms of arterial disease -- carotid artery stenosis (CAS), subclavian artery stenosis (SAC), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) -- are considered.

Monocyte subsets, stanford-A acute aortic dissection, and carotid srtery stenosis. new evidences [PDF]
, 2019 Monocytes are a heterogeneous cell population distinguished into three subsets with distinctive phenotypic and functional properties: "classical" (CD14++CD16-), "intermediate" (CD14++CD16+), and "nonclassical" (CD14+CD16++).

Diagnostic agreement between panoramic radiographs and color doppler images of carotid atheroma
Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2009 The aim of this study was to investigate the agreement between diagnoses of calcified atheroma seen on panoramic radiographs and color Doppler images. Our interest stems from the fact that panoramic images can show the presence of atheroma regardless of ...
