The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Positional transient loss of consciousness and hemispheric deficits in the setting of severe four-vessel extracranial cerebrovascular disease

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2019
Carotid artery stenosis typically causes hemispheric neurologic effects by atheroembolism. Nonhemispheric symptoms, such as syncope, are generally not attributable to extracranial carotid disease.

Extreme Heterophilic Antibody Interference in BNP Immunoassay: A Case Report and Systematic Investigation Protocol

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
A 53 year‐old male with type 2 diabetes presented extremely elevated BNP (> 4000 pg/mL) but normal NT‐proBNP and cardiac function. Systematic verification confirmed severe heterophilic antibody (HAMA) interference in the BNP chemiluminescence immunoassay.

Transcranial Color‐Coded Duplex Sonography in Large‐Vessel Vasculitis Compatible With Takayasu Arteritis Presenting Intracranial Involvement and Vertebrobasilar Dolichoectasia: A Case Report

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
This case illustrates sequential intracranial occlusions in large‐vessel vasculitis compatible with Takayasu arteritis preserving perfusion through robust collateral pathways. Transcranial color‐coded duplex sonography identified characteristic blunted flow patterns and focal turbulence, underscoring its value in detecting hemodynamic compromise beyond

Postprandial Changes in Thoracic Aortic Flow Detected by 4D Flow MRI May Influence Study Results

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background While there is a growing body of data using 4D flow MRI to distinguish between normal and abnormal blood flow values in the thoracic aorta, the extent of physiological variation or lack thereof is potentially undervalued. Physiological processes such as postprandial changes to hemodynamics might influence data, normal values, follow‐

Analysis of the correlation between serum homocysteine level and carotid intima-media thickness

Chinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2019
Objective To investigate the serum homocysteine (Hcy) level and intima-media thickness (IMT) of patients with carotid artery stenosis and the relation between the two. Methods A total of 126 patients diagnosed as carotid artery stenosis and performed by
