Lessons learnt from progressive vascular calcification in a renal transplant recipient
Indian Journal of Transplantation, 2022 Chronic kidney disease − mineral bone disorder is a common complication in patients with renal failure. Vascular calcification is the part of this clinical syndrome and progresses over the years.

The leading edge of vascular calcification [PDF]
Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015 About two decades ago, when lipids were the focus of atherosclerosis research, calcific vasculopathy (or, more commonly, “vascular calcification”) had been dismissed as a non-biological, unregulated, degenerative phenomenon. Ironically, decades earlier, atherosclerosis itself had been dismissed in the same manner.

Mechanisms of Vascular Calcification: The Pivotal Role of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 4 [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2016 Vascular calcification, abnormal mineralization of the vessel wall, is frequently associated with aging, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.

Vascular Calcification Mechanisms [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2004 Vascular calcification is highly correlated with cardiovascular disease mortality, especially in patients with ESRD or diabetes. In addition to the devastating effects of inappropriate biomineralization seen in cardiac valvulopathies, calciphylaxis, and idiopathic arterial calcification, vascular calcification is now recognized as a marker of ...

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2017 Vascular calcification has now been recognized as a major problem in dialysis patients because of its strong influence on the prognosis. Along with the regulatory failure of calcification-inhibitory system, active phenotypic change of vascular smooth ...

Optical flow-based vascular respiratory motion compensation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper develops a new vascular respiratory motion compensation algorithm, Motion-Related Compensation (MRC), to conduct vascular respiratory motion compensation by extrapolating the correlation between invisible vascular and visible non-vascular. Robot-assisted vascular intervention can significantly reduce the radiation exposure of surgeons.

Automatic calcium scoring in low-dose chest CT using deep neural networks with dilated convolutions [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging 37(2), pp 615-625, 2018, 2017 Heavy smokers undergoing screening with low-dose chest CT are affected by cardiovascular disease as much as by lung cancer. Low-dose chest CT scans acquired in screening enable quantification of atherosclerotic calcifications and thus enable identification of subjects at increased cardiovascular risk.

Alkaline phosphatases in the complex chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorders [PDF]
, 2018 Alkaline phosphatases (APs) remove the phosphate (dephosphorylation) needed in multiple metabolic processes (from many molecules such as proteins, nucleotides, or pyrophosphate). Therefore, APs are important for bone mineralization but paradoxically they

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 4 Promotes Vascular Calcification via SMAD1/5/8 Phosphorylation [PDF]
, 2015 Vascular calcification, a pathologic response to defective calcium and phosphate homeostasis, is strongly associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.
