Microvascular Damage Is Associated With Carotid Wall Structural Changes in Systemic Sclerosis: A Capillaroscopy and Ultrasound‐Based Observational Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

Microstructural Evolution and Vacancy Defect Formation in Mn–Mo–Ni RPV Steel Under Low Cycle Fatigue: Insights From EBSD and PALS

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐cycle fatigue damage in Mn–Mo–Ni reactor pressure vessel steel is examined using a combined electron backscatter diffraction and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy approach. The study correlates texture evolution, dislocation substructure development, and vacancy‐type defect formation across uniform, necked, and fracture regions, providing

Non-contrast ultrasound assessment of blood flow in clinical practice

Journal of Ultrasonography
Since the first clinical use of ultrasound in the 1940s, significant advancements have been made in its applications. Color Doppler imaging and power Doppler imaging are considered the first and second generations of flow ultrasound assessment tools ...

Processing of CW Doppler images to extract velocity profile [PDF]

, 2012
The present work aims to find a good way to automatically trace the velocity profile in vessels shown in continuous wave Doppler spectrograms, replacing the more traditional manual tracing, easy to perform but rich in drawbacks.

No evidence that severity of stroke in internal carotid occlusion is related to collateral arteries [PDF]

, 2006
Background/AimThe neurological effects of internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion vary between patients. The authors investigated whether the severity of symptoms in a large group of patients with ipsilateral or/and contralateral ICA occlusion at ...

Computed Tomography‐ and Photoacoustic Imaging‐Active Bioresorbable Electrospun Bismuth Nanoparticle‐Infused Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A polymeric graft loaded with radiopaque bismuth nanoparticles is expected to undergo gradual polymer resorption and nanoparticle release. This design enables noninvasive, multimodal monitoring of device integrity, patency, and degradation using computed tomography alongside ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging over 12 weeks.

Intra-uterine fetal demise caused by amniotic band syndrome after standard amniocentesis [PDF]

, 2000
The amniotic band syndrome represents a prime example of exogenous disruption of an otherwise normal feta I development. It may be a sequel of invasive diagnostic procedures such as amniocentesis or fetal blood sampling. A 38-year-old gravida II, para II

Self‐Assembling Copolymers Encapsulating Single Endothelial Cells Induce Endogenous ECM Deposition and Vascular Regeneration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents the first demonstration of stable sub‐50‐micron single‐cell GPM vesicles fabricated through the intrinsic self‐assembly of an amphiphilic copolymer. Hierarchical assembly of cell containing GPM vesicles into microspheres enable tunable, sustained cell delivery with immune protection.
