Wall thickness of the carotid artey as an indicator of generalized atherosclerosis : the Rotterdam study [PDF]
The past decades have led to a better understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its clinical sequelae. Several risk factors have been identified that promote atherosclerosis to develop and of which it is currently known that

ABSTRACT Hypercoagulability contributes to atherosclerosis (AS) progression in individuals suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and thromboelastography (TEG) is a valuable diagnostic tool. This hospital‐based cross‐sectional study assessed the clinical efficacy of TEG parameters in detecting hypercoagulability and subclinical AS by purposively ...

The Thickness of K_1,n,n and K_2,n,n [PDF]
The thickness of a graph G is the minimum number of planar subgraphs whose union is G. In this paper, we obtain the thickness of complete 3-partite graph K_1,n,n, K_2,n,n and complete 4-partite graph K_1,1,n,n.

Experimental Investigation of Thickness Effects on Mixed-mode I/II Fracture of an Aluminum Alloy [PDF]
Experimental investigations on the effect of thicknesses on mixed-mode I/II fracture are performed with an aluminum alloy with thicknesses of 2, 4, 8 and 14 mm. It is found that under pure-mode I loading condition, the loading capacity per unit thickness monotonically decreases with increasing thickness. However, under mixed-mode loading condition, the

Rough Set Based Approach for IMT Automatic Estimation [PDF]
Carotid artery (CA) intima-media thickness (IMT) is commonly deemed as one of the risk marker for cardiovascular diseases. The automatic estimation of the IMT on ultrasound images is based on the correct identification of the lumen-intima (LI) and media ...
