Monocyte/High Density Lipoprotein Ratio in Patients with Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis and Its Relationship with Stenosis Degree

Haseki Tıp Bülteni, 2022
Aim:Monocyte/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) is an inflammatory marker associated with vascular diseases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the MHR in patients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis and to examine its relationship with ...

Association between antibodies to carbamylated proteins and subclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients carry a high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The excess of cardiovascular disease cannot be entirely explained by traditional risk factors and the immune system contributes to the development

Increase in carotid artery intima-media thickness and arterial stiffness but improvement in several markers of endothelial function after initiation of antiretroviral therapy.

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2009
BACKGROUND The risk of cardiovascular disease in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients is an increasing concern. We studied the changes in vascular properties after the initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) as well as the

Automatic Diagnosis of Carotid Atherosclerosis Using a Portable Freehand 3D Ultrasound Imaging System [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The objective of this study is to develop a deep-learning based detection and diagnosis technique for carotid atherosclerosis using a portable freehand 3D ultrasound (US) imaging system. A total of 127 3D carotid artery scans were acquired using a portable 3D US system which consisted of a handheld US scanner and an electromagnetic tracking system. A U-

Localization of lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia Coli into human atherosclerotic plaque [PDF]

, 2018
Experimental studies showed that gut-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is pro-atherogenic, however, its relationship with human atherosclerosis is still to be defined.

Carotid artery intimal-medial wall thickening and plasma homocyst(e)ine in asymptomatic adults. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.

Circulation, 1993
BACKGROUND Plasma levels of homocyst(e)ine are elevated in certain patients with occlusive arterial diseases. We extended these findings to asymptomatic adults. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined plasma homocyst(e)ine levels in 287 pairs of asymptomatic

Surface Metrology of Cerebral Arteries Luminal Surface [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Atherosclerotic lesions within carotid and cerebral vessels are likely to influence hemodynamics and manifest into vascular pathologies, including Alzheimers Disease and ischemic stroke. Hemodynamics are influenced by changes in luminal diameter of vessels and wall shear stress derived from turbulence, which directly relates to the surface topography ...

Carotid artery disease and glaucoma. [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1978
Five patients with evidence of severe bilateral carotid artery disease and increased intraocular pressure have been followed up for 3 to 12 years without the development of glaucomatous disc or field changes. Although it is frequently stated that glaucoma patients with low systemic or ophthalmic artery blood pressures show rapid progression of their ...

Associations between blood glucose and carotid intima-media thickness disappear after adjustment for shared risk factors: the KORA F4 study. [PDF]

, 2012
The association between blood glucose and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is considered to be established knowledge. We aimed to assess whether associations between different measures of glycaemia and CIMT are actually independent of anthropometric

Effects of natto extract on endothelial injury in a rat model [PDF]

, 2010
Vascular endothelial damage has been found to be associated with thrombus formation, which is considered to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A diet of natto leads to a low prevalence of cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was
