Rationale and design of a multicenter randomized controlled study to evaluate the preventive effect of ipragliflozin on carotid atherosclerosis : the PROTECT study [PDF]
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated strongly with an increased risk of micro- and macro-vascular complications, leading to impaired quality of life and shortened life expectancy. In addition to appropriate glycemic control, multi-factorial

Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blocker Usage Prevents Oxidative Stress and Muscle Dysfunction in HIV
ABSTRACT Background We aimed to elucidate the role of Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) blocker usage in muscle wasting and dysfunction related to HIV. Research Design and Methods Appendicular skeletal muscle mass, higher and lower limb strength, and physical fitness were determined in people living with HIV (PWH) using AT1R blockers users (n = 33),

Analysis of AneuRisk65 data: warped logistic discrimination [PDF]
We analyze the AneuRisk65 curvature functions using a likelihood-based warping method for sparsely sampled curves, and combine it with logistic regression in order to discriminate subjects with aneurysms at or after the terminal bifurcation of the internal carotid artery (the most life-threatening) from subjects with no aneurysms or aneurysms along the

Summary Background General adiposity is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. By contrast, the interconnection between high intra‐pancreatic fat deposition and cardiovascular disease has been scantily investigated. This field‐wide systematic review aimed to map the available evidence on cardiovascular disease according to the fat content

Carotid Artery Plaque Analysis in 3D Based on Distance Encoding in Mesh Representations [PDF]
Purpose: Enabling a comprehensive and robust assessment of carotid artery plaques in 3D through extraction and visualization of quantitative plaque parameters. These parameters have potential applications in stroke risk analysis, evaluation of therapy effectiveness, and plaque progression prediction.
