the carotid sinus is a modification in the vascular wall near the bifurcation each common carotid artery and acts as baroreceptor. in this study 16 adult and apparently healthy buffaloes ie. 8 male and 8 female used for the as well as macroscopic orientation microscopic study of the carotid sinus. our study revealed that in the buffalo, carotid sinus is a dilatation in common carotid artery at ...

conclusions our study shows a relationship between cimt and renal parameters, including egfr and albuminuria. this study confirms the importance of intensive examinations for early detection of atherosclerosis and treatment of risk factors. patients and methods this cross-sectional study was included 205 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm). we recorded clinical and biochemical data su...

INTRODUCTION The measurement of carotid artery intima-media thickness in children and adolescents has attracted a great deal of research and clinical interest in recent years, because it can provide evidence that early arterial lesions are already present in asymptomatic subjects who have risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate possible correlati...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the carotid artery intima media thickness and serum lipids in pediatric patients with epilepsy treated with valproic acid. The study included 44 pediatric epileptic and 40 healthy children. Intima media thickness of left common carotid artery and fasting lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipopr...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare automated and semiautomated algorithms for analysis of carotid artery wall thickness and intima-media thickness on multidetector row computed tomographic (CT) angiography and sonography, respectively, and to study the correlation between them. METHODS Twenty consecutive patients underwent multidetector row CT angiographic and sonographic ana...

To evaluate the association between common carotid intima-media thickness and noninvasively assessed atherosclerosis elsewhere in the carotid artery, we used data from the Rotterdam Study, a single-center population-based, prospective follow-up study among 7983 subjects aged 55 years or older. Baseline measurements included ultrasonographic evaluation of the vessel wall characteristics of the c...

introduction: sudden sensorineural hearing-loss (ssnhl) patients constitute approximately 2–3% of referrals to ear, nose and throat (ent) clinics. several predisposing factors have been proposed for this condition; one of which is vascular disorders and perfusion compromise. in this research the atherosclerotic changes and their known risk factors are studied in ssnhl patients.   materials and ...

BACKGROUND Ultrasonographic assessments of intima-media thickness and plaques in the carotid artery are widely used as surrogate markers for coronary atherosclerosis, but prospective evaluations are scarce and appear to be lacking in patients with coronary artery disease. Ultrasonographic evaluations of femoral vascular changes have not been studied prospectively. METHODS AND RESULTS In the A...

patients and methods this cross-sectional study included a total of 120 adult predialysis ckd patients. forty patients were allocated in each predialysis ckd group of stages 3, 4, and 5. serum ctnt and hs-crp, plasma nt-probnp, and single spot urine albumin creatinine ratio (acr) were measured. ultrasonographic examination of carotid artery was done with 7.5 mhz linear probe in b mode ultrasono...

background: role of atherosclerosis  in the pathogenesis of ischemic and hemorrhagic  infarctions is still matter  of debate. intima-media thickness (imt) of the common carotid  artery (cca) and  internal  carotid  artery (ica) are markers of atherosclerosis. the aim of this study was to compare  cca imt and ica imt of patients  with ischemic and hemorrhagic infarction. methods: two equal group...
