Giant cell arteritis (GCA) can produce a variety of visual symptoms. Among these, hallucinations are rare and usually accompanied by loss. We encountered 79-year-old female with GCA who presented without Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) the head revealed stroke in right frontal lobe, probably caused GCA, resulting hallucinations. Visual not well recognized clinicians as presentation GCA. Howeve...

The genus Enterovirus, belonging to the family Picornaviridae, includes well-known pathogens, such as poliovirus, coxsackievirus, and rhinovirus. Brefeldin A (BFA) impedes replication of several enteroviruses through inhibition of Golgi-specific BFA resistance factor 1 (GBF1), a regulator of secretory pathway integrity and transport. GBF1 mediates the GTP exchange of Arf1, which in activated fo...

It has recently been claimed that giant cell arteritis (GCA) is associated with a markedly increased risk of aortic aneurysm formation or rupture. In the present study, the opposite approach was taken, by looking for the incidence of GCA and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) in patients with aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, or both (AA/D). The records of 315 consecutive patients admitted with the...

Blackgram is the grain legume crop mainly grown in variable edaphic and weather conditions India resulting less productivity. However, yield of blackgram can be improved by breeding methods involving potential parents analysing combining ability. A set three female (CO 5, CO 6 ADT 5) six male (MASH 1008, VBN 6, 8, 9, 10 11) were used as parents. The crosses synthesised Line × Tester fashion the...

Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is defined as inflammation that affects the aorta and its major branches. Takayasu arteritis (TAK) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) are the 2 main forms of LVV1. Historically, GCA is considered a disease of the elderly that targets the extracranial arteries (e.g., carotid and temporal arteries). In contrast, TAK typically affects younger patients and targets the aort...

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) are both more common among people of North European decent than among Mediterranean people. Women are 2-3 times more commonly affected. Giant cell arteritis and PMR are extremely rare before age 50 years. Polymyalgia rheumatica may be "isolated" or associated with GCA. There is increased expression of inflammatory cytokines in temporal...

Giant Cell Arteritis: Pathogenetic and Epidemiological Aspects Karolina Larsson Institute of Biomedicine, Department of Pathology, Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of medium-size and large arteries which affects people aged 50 years or older with a female preponderance. The two different express...

Background Cardiovascular risk is increased in giant cell arteritis (GCA). We aimed to characterize myocardial infarction (MI) a GCA cohort, and compare the non-GCA population affected by MI. Methods In patients with biopsy-proven diagnosis of between 1 January 2001 31 December 2016 Côte D'Or (France), we identified MI crossing data from territorial registry (Observatoire des Infarctus de d'Or)...

Giant cell arteritis (GCA), temporal arteritis or Horton’s arteritis, is a systemic vasculitis which involves large and medium sized vessels, especially the extracranial branches of the carotid arteries, in persons usually older than 50 years. Permanent visual loss, ischaemic strokes, and thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms are feared complications of GCA. The treatment consists of high dos...

The realisation of Global Cellular Automaton (GCA) using a comparatively high number of communicating finite state machines (FSM) leads to high communication effort. Inside configurable architectures, fixed numbers of FSM and fixed bus widths result in a granularity that makes mapping of larger GCA to these architectures even more difficult. This approach presents a configurable architecture to...
