Comprehensive genetic screening for vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome through an amplification‐based next‐generation sequencing system

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 1, Page 37-51, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a hereditary connective tissue disorder (HCTD) characterized by arterial dissection/aneurysm/rupture, sigmoid colon rupture, or uterine rupture. Diagnosis is confirmed by detecting heterozygous variants in COL3A1.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting of carotid arteries: Early results [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2008
INTRODUCTION Treatment of carotid stenosis could be surgical: eversion endarterectomy, conventional endarterectomy and patch-plasty, resection with graft interposition and bypass procedure or, in the past few years, carotid artery angioplasty (PTA) with ...

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.

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 ...

Serum Biomarkers in Carotid Artery Disease

Diagnostics, 2021
Carotid artery disease is considered a major cause of strokes and there is a need for early disease detection and management. Although imaging techniques have been developed for the diagnosis of carotid artery disease and different imaging-based markers have been proposed for the characterization of atherosclerotic plaques, there is still need for a ...

Differentiation of multipotent vascular stem cells contributes to vascular diseases. [PDF]

, 2012
It is generally accepted that the de-differentiation of smooth muscle cells, from the contractile to the proliferative/synthetic phenotype, has an important role during vascular remodelling and diseases.

Morphological Changes in Carotid Arteries in Stroke Cases

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2013
Introduction: Majority of stroke is due to ischemic infarction and occurs in carotid artery territory. The  extra cranial parts of carotid arteries are the common sites for the atherosclerotic plaque formation.
