A near infrared spectroscopy-based test of calf muscle function in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
Background The study aims to test a new, simple, and reliable apparatus and procedure for the diagnostics and treatment evaluation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The test apparatus involves near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of a main part of the lower leg muscles during isometric flexion and extension of the ankle joint performed with the foot strapped in a specially designed pedal ergom...
متن کاملRelationship between Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody and Thyroid Function Test
Background: Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO antibody) is a member of thyroid autoantibodies which are important in inducing and also diagnosing autoimmune thyroid diseases. Thyroid autoimmunity can cause several forms of thyroiditis and abnormal thyroid functions, ranging from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between serum levels of anti-TPO ...
متن کاملQuantifying the Arterial Input Function*
t i o Measurement of absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) and coronary flow reserve (CFR) is of great importance clinically. To make such measurements quantitatively, one must also measure the arterial input function (AIF). Many studies, including the one reported by Vasquez et al. (1) in this issue of iJACC, which focuses on rubidium-82 (Rb), have sought optimal ways to measure the AIF for a v...
متن کاملArterial stiffness and kidney function.
The vascular hallmark of subjects with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis is increased aortic stiffness, a phenomenon independent of mean arterial blood pressure, wall stress, and standard cardiovascular risk factors such as plasma glucose, cholesterol, obesity, and smoking. These observations suggest that subtle links might associate arterial stiffness and kidney function in normo...
متن کاملA urinary test for pulmonary arterial hypertension?
have fewer neutrophils sequestered in the pulmonary circulation, but more neutrophils in the airspaces than wild-type mice after cecal ligation and puncture (16). High Vt ventilation can induce iNOS expression and activity in the airspace, and reactive nitrogen species contribute to impaired alveolar epithelial fluid transport and pulmonary edema in VILI (17). The mechanisms of cLT-mediated lun...
