Impact of Intima–Media Thickness Progression in the Common Carotid Arteries on the Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in the Suita Study

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background No prospective study of the relationship between intima–media thickness (IMT) progression and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been performed. Methods and Results We studied 4724 participants (mean age: 59.7±11.9 years; without CVD at

Relationship between 24-hour blood pressure variability and mean carotid intimate index in essential hypertension [PDF]

Romanian Medical Journal, 2020
Hypertension (HT) is recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CV) and mortality. The literature suggests that in order to achieve the highest degree of CV protection in hypertension, treatment should aim at decreasing the variability

Childhood Age and Associations Between Childhood Metabolic Syndrome and Adult Risk for Metabolic Syndrome, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Carotid Intima Media Thickness: The International Childhood Cardiovascular Cohort Consortium

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
Background There is paucity of knowledge concerning the specific age in youth when the associations of metabolic syndrome (MetS) begin to be operative. Thus, we investigated the relation of age to the associations of childhood MetS with adult MetS, type ...

Role of carotid ultrasound in the evaluation of atherosclerotic changes in beta thalassemia major patients

Medical Journal of Babylon, 2022
Background: Iron overload in beta thalassemia patients may lead to the alteration of arterial structures together with hyperlipidemia and other risk factors that may lead to the atherosclerotic changes and thickening of carotid arteries.

Spherically Symmetric Thick Branes in Vacuum [PDF]

Int.J.Mod.Phys.A19:4687-4694,2004, 2003
We consider a spherical thick 3-brane immersed in a five-dimensional bulk spacetime. We demonstrate how the thick brane equation of motion expanded in powers of the thickness of the brane can be obtained from the expected junction conditions on the boundaries of thick brane with the two embedding spacetimes.

Hubungan Kadar Apolipoprotein B Dengan Aterosklerosis Arteri Karotis Interna Pada Pasien Pasca Stroke Iskemik [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Ischemic stroke is caused by brain artery obstruction or narrowing called atherosclerosis. Its marker is the thickness of tunica intima-media (intima-media thickness / IMT) of the artery. Apolipoprotein B is the indicator of atherosclerosis

Complex contaminant mixtures and their associations with intima-media thickness [PDF]

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2019
Abstract Background The burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality is higher among Indigenous persons, who also experience greater health disparities when compared to non-Indigenous Canadians, particularly in remote regions of Canada.

Biohybrid Vascular Graft Made of Textile‐Reinforced Elastin‐Like Recombinamers and Its Preservation via Drying Processes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Clinical translation of biohybrid medical implants requires the previous implementation of drying schemes that can facilitate their sterilization and storage. This study addresses that critical aspect and elucidates the impact of drying on biohybrid vascular grafts, highlighting the need for implant‐specific drying strategies to ensure safety ...
