The aim of the present study was to compare the diagnostic values of ultrasound micro-flow imaging (SMI) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for neovascularization in carotid plaques, and to investigate their capacities for predicting the risks of cerebral stroke. A total of 39 patients (64 carotid plaques) with severe carotid artery stenosis undergoing carotid endarterectomy were selected ...
Here is hypothesized a truly revolutionary notion that rounded cystic forms of Borrelia burgdorferi are the root cause of the rounded structures called plaques in the Alzheimer brain. Rounded "plaques' in high density in brain tissue are emblematic of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Plaques may be conceptualized as rounded "pock mark-like" areas of brain tissue injury. In this century, in brain tissu...
A 51 year old woman was referred to dermatology clinic with multiple asymptomatic erythematus papules and plaques on her back, which she had developed over the previous 2 months ago. In the dermatological examination, there were multiple atrophic papules with hypopigmented centers and sharp borders on her back, some of which were annular with elevated violaceous borders (Figures 1, 2). Fu...
results the mean ages in case and control groups were 60.8 ± 6.8 and 57.5 ± 11.5 years, respectively, with no significant difference (p = 0.09). thirty patients (54.5%) in case and 32 (58.2%) in control groups were male with no significant difference (p = 0.7). cmv-dna was present in 8 (14.5%) of the cases and 2 (4%) of the controls. cmv-dna was associated with higher risk of atherosclerosis (o...
conclusions corticosteroid pulse therapy in spms was effective in inflammatory process, but could not postpone or decline the neurodegenerative process and besides the imposing side effects could not result in significant improvement in edss and mri plaques number in long term. patients and methods a double blind randomized controlled clinical trial was performed on 71 patients with spms referr...
Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide deposition, hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, reactive astrocytes, high levels of metal ions, and upregulated monoamine oxidases are considered to be the primary pathological markers Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Among them, Aβ deposition or plaques, is regarded as initial factor in pathogenesis AD a critical hallmark AD. This review highlights recently Aβ-specific fluorescen...
Background Since long-term administrations of anti-hyperlipidemic agents result in reduction in % stenosis or increase in minimum lumen diameter (MLD) of stenotic coronary segments, it is generally believed that anti-hyperlipidemic agents stabilize vulnerable coronary plaques. However, recent pathologic and angioscopic studies revealed that vulnerability of coronary plaques is not related to se...
PURPOSE Vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques are structurally weak and prone to rupture, presumably due to local oxidative stress. Redox active iron is linked to oxidative stress and the aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of Fe(III) in carotid plaques and its relation to vulnerability for rupture. METHODS Atherosclerotic plaques from 10 patients (three asymptomatic and seven ...
Atherosclerotic plaques are classically divided into stable and vulnerable plaques. Vulnerable plaques are prone to rupture with a risk for infarction. High intraplaque microvessel density predisposes to plaque vulnerability. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a proangiogenic gasotransmitter which is endogenously produced by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), and is believed to have vasculoprotective effects....
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A major disadvantage of carotid artery stenting (CAS) compared to carotid endarterectomy is the increased risk of cerebral embolism. Thus, establishing a simple method to discriminate fragile plaques on preoperative routine examination is important. The present study examined whether high-intensity signal (HIS) in the plaque on time-of-flight (TOF) MRA, performed for scre...
