Carotid plaque morphology: A review
The recent North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial has answered fairly conclusively the questions concerning the optimal management of patients with symptoms who have a > 70% stenosis of the internal carotid artery. It has also had the effect of refocusing attention on carotid pathology. The main question still to be answered is whether

Background— Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is accompanied by an acute decrease in the carotid plaque expression of micro-RNAs (miRs)-221 and miR-222. Circular RNA (circR)-284 is a potential inhibitor of miR-221/miR-222 activity.

Computer-assisted carotid plaque characterisation
To determine the relationship between plaque echogenicity as measured by computer and the incidence of cerebral brain infarction.Eighty-seven patients with 148 plaques producing more than 50% internal carotid artery stenosis were studied. Sixty-nine plaques were in asymptomatic patients, 35 were associated with amaurosis fugax, 19 with transient ...

We detect the risk factors and image characteristics of incidentally detected IAAD. Independent risk factors of IAAD included fatty liver and smoking. In the ultrasound findings of IAAD, an intimal flap was frequently observed. In the CT scan, displacement of intimal calcifications was frequently observed. For suspected IAAD, the abdominal aorta should
