Prevalence of Carotid Plaque in a 63‐ to 65‐Year‐Old Norwegian Cohort From the General Population: The ACE (Akershus Cardiac Examination) 1950 Study

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background New data on extracranial carotid atherosclerosis are needed, as improved ultrasound techniques may detect more atherosclerosis, the definition of plaque has changed over the years, and better cardiovascular risk control in the population may ...

Periodontitis in patients with severe erectile dysfunction undergoing penile prosthesis implantation: Clinical and immunohistochemical study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The relationship between periodontitis and erectile dysfunction (ED) has been poorly documented in Caucasian populations, particularly severe ED (SED) requiring penile prostheses. This study aimed to evaluate the association between periodontitis and SED in patients undergoing penile prosthesis implantation, and to identify clinical

Sonographic assessment of carotid atherosclerosis: preferred risk indicator for future cardiovascular events?

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2019
Carotid ultrasound allows rapid and reliable quantification of atherosclerosis in humans. Although the definition of carotid plaque is not uniform, intimal thickening of at least 1.5 mm is currently defined as plaque. Plaque can be easily quantified by

Pre‐ and Post‐Interventional Hemodynamic Characterization of the Femoropopliteal Artery Using Vector Flow Imaging in Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The femoropopliteal (FP) artery is the most frequently revascularized segment in peripheral artery disease (PAD), followed by the iliac segment. Wall shear stress (WSS) is a key local factor implicated in both atherosclerotic plaque formation and restenosis after angioplasty.

The Impact of Methotrexate on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Psoriasis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Psoriasis is a chronic immune‐mediated inflammatory disease with a global prevalence of 2%–3% and 1.3% in Brazil. It is associated with comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, all of which contribute to increased cardiovascular risk due to systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction.
