Homocysteine in cerebrovascular disease: An independent risk factor for subcortical vascular encephalopathy [PDF]
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for obstructive large-vessel disease. Here, we studied plasma concentrations of homocysteine and vitamins in patients suffering from subcortical vascular encephalopathy (SVE), a cerebral small-vessel disease leading ...

Rheopheresis in vascular diseases [PDF]
Rheopheresis is an extracorporal selective double-filtration procedure. In the first part of the treatment the blood is passes through the plasma filter, which separates blood cells from the plasma. Then the plasma flow to a second filter called MONET (Membranefiltration Optimised Novel Extracorporal Treatment).

Blood pressure variability and cardiovascular risk in the PROspective study of pravastatin in the elderly at risk (PROSPER) [PDF]
Variability in blood pressure predicts cardiovascular disease in young- and middle-aged subjects, but relevant data for older individuals are sparse. We analysed data from the PROspective Study of Pravastatin in the Elderly at Risk (PROSPER) study of ...
