Relationship Between Thoracic Aortic Calcification And Coronary Artery Calcium Measured On Chest CT Scans
Introduction: Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) remain a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Identifying appropriate risk markers may allow detection of patients at high risk for stroke who would benefit from early initiation of preventative measures. Utilizing atherosclerotic burden of multiple vascular beds may allow for improved cardiovascular risk assessment. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a well-established, excellent predictor of coronary heart disease, but its association with stroke is modest.

Correlation Between Intracranial Arterial Calcification and Imaging of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Conclusion: Intracranial artery calcification is common in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and the intracranial carotid artery is most frequently affected. Intracranial arterial calcifications might be associated with imaging markers of SVD and are highly correlated with WMHs, lacunes, and CMBs. Quantification of calcification on CT provides additional information on the pathophysiology of SVD. Intracranial arterial calcification could act as a potential marker of SVD. Introduction Atherosclerosis is a systemic vascular process that is considered a major cause of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular di...

Shengui Sansheng San Ameliorates Cerebral Energy Deficiency via Citrate Cycle After Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion In summary, SSS extraction significantly ameliorates cerebral energy metabolism via boosting citrate cycle, which mainly embodies the enhancements of blood glucose concentration, glucose and lactate transportation and glucose utilization, as well as the regulations of relative enzymes activities in citrate cycle. These ameliorations ultimately resulted in numerous ATP yield after stroke, which improved neurological function and infarcted volume. Collectively, it suggests that SSS extraction has exerted advantageous effect in the treatment of cerebral ischemia. Ethics Statement All animal operations were accor...
