Cardiovascular MRI in Detection and Measurement of Aortic Atheroma in Stroke/TIA patients
BACKGROUND Aortic Atheroma (AoA) is an independent risk factor for new and recurrent stroke. AoA ulceration and mobility are associated with an increased risk for brain embolism. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the gold standard for detection and measurement of AoA in stroke/TIA patients. Cardiovascular MRI (cMRI) could be an alternative, non-invasive imaging modality for stroke/TIA p...

متن کاملRapid Detection of Campylobacter jejuni by Polymerase Chain Reaction and Evaluation of its Sensitivity and Specificity
Introduction: Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common causes of food poising in humans. Rapid and specific detection of these bacteria has an important role in diagnosis and treatment of infection. The aim of this study was to design a specific PCR for the detection of Campylobacter jejuni. Methods: In this experimental study, oxidoreductase gene from the Campylobacter jejuni was sele...
متن کاملSensitivity and Specificity of CA 15-3 in Detection of Breast Cancer Recurrence
Background: The value of CA15-3(cancer antigen 15-3) marker in early detection of breast cancer recurrence has been studied in several prospective trials. But the results of these studies are different. This may be due to variable cutoff points used for analysis, different intervals between CA15-3 measurements and the differences between patients population. This study was done to examine the p...
متن کاملThe nature of atheroma.
Atherosclerosis represents a heterogenous group of pathological phenomena involving degenerative, inflammatory and proliferative processes which produce lesions containing mainly cellular material, lipid, collagen and calcium. Despite the varying pathological forms, the clinical sequelae of atherosclerosis are well defined and affect coronary, cerebrovascular and peripheral arteries. The Office...
