Ultrasound Evaluation of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Children
Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2015 The purpose of this study was to assess the association with automated US measurements of carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) with anthropometric, laboratory data and ultrasonographic measurements of fat, in order to identify potential markers that could be used to prevent the development and progression of cardiovascular pathology in ...

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Background Peri‐implantitis is a biofilm‐associated inflammatory condition characterized by peri‐implant mucosal inflammation and progressive bone loss. The prevalence of peri‐implantitis continues to rise among patients with dental implants. Although peri‐implantitis and periodontitis share similar inflammatory phenotypes, histopathological ...

Menopause and vascular endothelial health: Is it all about the oestrogen?
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality in women, and CVD risk is accelerated during the menopause transition. This acceleration has traditionally been attributed to the hallmark decline in oestradiol with menopause. However, the menopause transition is also characterized by changes in other sex hormones that exert effects

Contributions of vascular ageing to late‐onset Alzheimer's disease
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Late‐onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is an age‐related disease that is strongly associated with vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular impairments. As such, changes in the vasculature with advancing age likely contribute to LOAD, but the mechanisms underlying these contributions remain incompletely understood.

Microvascular endothelial function is blunted in postmenopausal females with frequent hot flushes
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Hot flushes of menopause are associated with elevated blood pressure (BP) and diminished macrovascular endothelial function, an initiating factor in the onset of atherosclerosis. Whether microvascular endothelial function is impaired in females with hot flushes, however, remains unknown.
