Arterial thickness measurements on high-resolution ultrasonography in diabetics with and without macrovascular complications and their relationship with homocysteine level

BMC Endocrine Disorders
Background Pathological changes in the arterial vasculature play a pivotal role in the development of macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Compared with traditional measurements of carotid artery intima-media thickness,

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopausal Symptoms and the Risk of Cardiometabolic Disease: Current Evidence and Future Directions

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The transition through menopause is accompanied by a series of adverse metabolic changes which are associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic disease, a major cause of mortality in women after midlife. Whilst the indication for menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the control of menopausal symptoms ...

Carotid intima-media thickness as a biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2012
Intima-media thickness of the carotid artery (CIMT) and its increase is associated with several cardiovascular risk factors and manifest cardiovascular diseases. CIMT is suggested to be an important biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis. CIMT is measured in B-mode ultrasound images of the carotid tree as a typical double line of the arterial ...

Carotid intima-media thickness is increased in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses [PDF]

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2011
The feasibility of carotid artery intima-media thickness (C-IMT), an established cardiovascular disease marker, as a cardiac risk marker in mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) patients was explored.To determine if C-IMT is abnormal in MPS versus unaffected controls, and if C-IMT correlates with coronary artery diameter in MPS.Measurements of C-IMT via neck ...

Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense. However, growing evidence reveals that T2 pathways also support other essential homeostatic functions, including tissue ...

Assessing a Model for a Complex Systemic Disorder—The Value of Male Mice With a Supernumerary X Chromosome for Klinefelter Syndrome Research

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Direct experimental investigation of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) in patients is limited because the syndrome manifests heterogeneously and affects multiple organ systems. Studying KS therefore requires a model that captures this complexity as accurately as possible while still permitting controlled experimental manipulation ...

Comparison of the Intima-media Thickness of Carotid Artery in Children with Diabetes Type One and Control Group Using Ultrasound [PDF]

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background & Aims: Diabetes is a very important factor for stroke due to blocked blood vessels. It can involve systemic and cerebrovascular arteries at the same time via microangiopathy and macroangiopathy.

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.

Lower Systolic Blood Pressure in 67 Boys With Klinefelter Syndrome Compared to 1842 Healthy Danish Boys

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Our objective was to develop age‐ and height‐specific reference ranges for blood pressure, pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure in healthy boys and to compare these to measurements in patients with Klinefelter syndrome followed longitudinally through childhood and adolescence. Design Cohort study consisting of a population‐based
