The Effect of Radioiodine on the Intima Media Thickness of the Carotid Artery

Malecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy, 2013
The radiation can induce vessel injury. The result of this injury can be severe and life-threatening. There are a few studies demonstrating an increase in intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) after radiotherapy, especially in head and neck cancers.

Epilepsy–heart syndrome: Concept, clinical context, and opportunity for integrated care

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract In this concept paper, we introduce epilepsy‐heart syndrome as a shared burden of illness between epilepsy and cardiac disorders. This pragmatic definition is agnostic of which condition came first (the epilepsy or the cardiac disorder), recognising that these conditions can each serve as a risk factor for the other owing to a bidirectional ...

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

Serum Uric Acid as a Potential Concomitant with Carotid Atherosclerosis

Caspian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 2016
Background: Common carotid intima-media thickness (CC-IMT) measured by ultrasonography as a non-invasive method is nowadays known as a marker for early atherosclerosis. Objectives: Survey the relationship between serum uric acid and carotid intima-media

17. CAROTID INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS IN A LARGE COHORT STUDY AND REALLY NORMAL SUBJECTS

Artery Research, 2009
Background: Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) has been widely used as a surrogate of early atherosclerosis. However, the characteristics of patients in cohort-based studies of carotid IMT are very heterogeneous. We evaluated the carotid intima, media,

Haptoglobin Genotypes in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Haptoglobin 2–2 Genotype Is Associated With Familial Hidradenitis Suppurativa and More Flares

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Haptoglobin (Hp) is an acute‐phase protein and an independent marker for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) severity. The different Hp genotypes (Hp 1–1, Hp 1–2, and Hp 2–2) differ in their antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory functions. Hp genotypes have never been investigated in HS patients.
