The objective of the present study was to examine whether alcohol addicts have higher incidence rates of cardio- and cerebrovascular diseases than the population in general. METHODS The cohort co...

OBJECTIVE The application of 3-D printing has been increasingly used in medicine, with research showing many applications in cardiovascular disease. This systematic review analyzes those studies published about the applications of 3-D printed, patient-specific models in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. METHODS A search of PubMed/Medline and Scopus databases was performed to identi...

Altered membrane permeability is a hallmark of inflammation and ischemia with systemic spreading. Renal dysfunction is a risk factor for cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and metabolic diseases. The aim of the present study was to assess proteinuria and urinary polyclonal light chains in acute stroke and chronic cerebrovascular disease compared with other neurologic diseases. Our results showed ...

Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in patients with various cardiovascular diseases is a life-threatening complication, the development of which can be contributed by both environmental and genetic factors, understanding necessary to determine tactics treatment predict disease course. The article presents brief review studies on predictors CVA, particular association ABCA1 rs2230806 polymorphism ri...

Cerebrovascular disease is one of the most common pathologies in practice a neurologist. Vascular cognitive impairment earliest and objective sign cerebrovascular pathology. The correction vascular risk factors – antihypertensive, antiplatelet, lipid-lowering therapy, have leading role treatment patients with diseases. It necessary to pay special attention non-drug methods such as quitting smok...

When a vascular disorder of the cochleovestibular system is considered, the diagnosis is based on exclusion of other diseases. As arteries of the cochleovestibular system cannot be directly visualized, physicians must deduce vascular cochleovestibular disease from the vascular risk factors and vascular lesions of other territories. With my colleagues at Semmelweis University, I analyzed neuroot...

In Japan the age-adjusted death rate from cerebrovascular diseases has decreased for both males and females since 1965. This downward trend accelerated in 1971. This is not due to artifacts such as changes in diagnostic methods of stroke and in rules for coding cause of death on death certificates. The progress and spread of detection, treatment and control of hypertension appears to have been ...
