Heavy Metal Mixture Exposure and Insulin Resistance in U.S. Adults: The Mediating Role of Systemic Inflammation

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
In a nationally representative sample of 3042 U.S. adults from NHANES 2021–2023, blood lead, cadmium, and mercury, both individually and as a weighted quantile sum (WQS) mixture, were inversely associated with insulin resistance assessed by HOMA‐IR. Systemic inflammation, measured by high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP), significantly mediated ...

Study of Risk Factors and Image Findings of Isolated Abdominal Incidentally Detected Aortic Dissection

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 429-435, March/April 2025.
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

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
