Any new method of attack excites interest, and it is the special virtue of this monograph to have placed in evidence, with great clarity and a profusion of beautiful illustrations, the existence of a rich intramural vascular plexus, which has a...

The increased risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) among hypertensive African Americans is partly related to APOL1 allele variants. Hypertension-associated arterionephrosclerosis consists of arteriosclerosis, glomerulosclerosis, and cortical fibrosis. The initial glomerulosclerosis, attributed to preglomerular arteriosclerosis and ischemia, consists of focal global glomerulosclerosis (FGGS),...

Abstract Introduction Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a leading cause of vascular morbidity and mortality. The Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) common index for screening monitoring PAD. AHA ECS guidelines recommend measuring the ABI assessing atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk. However, sensitivity low, especially in elderly diabetics with arteriosclerosis. restenosis rate after revascularizat...
