Correlation between novel inflammatory markers and carotid atherosclerosis: A retrospective case-control study.

PLoS ONE
ObjectiveCarotid atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, which is a major cause of ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and novel inflammatory markers, including platelet to

Genetics of carotid atherosclerosis

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2009
Cardiovascular disease and stroke are heterogeneous and multifactorial diseases. Given the extreme complexity of risk factors contributing to the complex diseases, evaluation of the intermediate phenotypes may be more advantageous than the solid clinical events.

Carotid atherosclerosis in renal transplant recipients [PDF]

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 1998
Cardiovascular accidents are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients. However, there is little information concerning carotid atherosclerotic wall changes in renal transplant recipients, their relationship with cardiovascular accidents and their possible association with cardiovascular risk factors in such patients ...

Blood RNA Biomarker Signatures for Early Diagnosis and Prognosis in Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke: The IBIS‐CT1 Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the expression of nine blood RNA biomarkers in a clinical trial based on genes previously identified in an experimental monkey model of stroke for diagnosis feasibility and prognostication. Methods IBIS‐CT1 was a prospective longitudinal study enrolling patients with ischemic stroke (IS) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH ...

Modern Management of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: A Meta‐Analysis of CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Recent randomized trials (CREST‐2, SPACE‐2, and ECST‐2) have compared carotid revascularization (carotid endarterectomy [CEA] or carotid artery stenting [CAS]) plus contemporary medical therapy (CMT) versus CMT alone in asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Histological verification of atherosclerosis due to bends and bifurcations in carotid arteries predicted by hemodynamic model

Jornal Vascular Brasileiro
Background Tortuosity and bifurcations in carotid arteries alter the blood flow, causing atherosclerosis. Objectives The aim of the present study is to analyze the effect of variant vascular anatomy in the cervical region on development of ...

Systemic Extracerebral Atherosclerotic Burden and Dementia Risk After Incident Stroke

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Stroke survivors are at increased risk of dementia, but clinically accessible markers of risk heterogeneity remain limited. Previous studies have largely examined atherosclerotic disease in individual vascular beds rather than the overall burden of systemic extracerebral atherosclerosis.

Regional Variation in Genetic Control of Atherosclerosis in Hyperlipidemic Mice

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
Atherosclerosis is a polygenic disorder that often affects multiple arteries. Carotid arteries are common sites for evaluating subclinical atherosclerosis, and aortic root is the standard site for quantifying atherosclerosis in mice.

Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these
