Deep-fried Mars bars – unhealthy, but no killer
Conclusion This study found no significant differences in cerebrovascular reactivity (the body’s ability to respond to breath holding by increasing blood flow to the brain) after eating either a deep-fried Mars bar or porridge. When the researchers analysed men and women separately, they found no significant differences in cerebrovascular reactivity after eating a deep-fried Mars bar or porridge. However, when the researchers compared men with women, they found a significant difference, although whether there is any clinical significance to this finding is unclear. The researchers point out that there are limitations to ...

Fetal Alcohol Exposure Alters Blood Flow and Neurological Responses to Transient Cerebral Ischemia in Adult Mice
ConclusionsOur data collectively show that PAE adult mice exhibit a persistent, long‐term loss of cranially directed blood flow, and decreased capacity to compensate for brain trauma due to acute‐onset adult diseases like ischemic stroke. Our study assessed long‐term consequences of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) on blood flow and on behavioral outcomes following unilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo)‐induced transient ischemic stroke in adults. PAE resulted in a significant age‐related decrease in blood acceleration in mature adult and middle‐aged mice, specifically in the carotid artery. Followi...

Sleep Duration Is Associated With Subclinical Carotid Plaque Burden
CONCLUSIONS: The association between long sleep and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis may explain prior associations between long sleep and stroke.PMID:37470161 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.122.041967

The Association of Arsenic Metabolism with Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, and Diabetes: A Systematic Review of the Epidemiological Evidence
Conclusions: Population level of iAs% and DMA%, but not MMA%, were associated with arsenic exposure levels. Overall, study findings suggest that higher MMA% was associated with an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, while lower MMA% was associated with an increased risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Additional population-based studies and experimental studies are needed to further evaluate and understand the role of arsenic exposure in arsenic metabolism and the role of arsenic metabolism in disease development. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP577 Received: 01 June 2016 Revised: 26 February 2017 Acce...

A left ventricular phantom for 3D echocardiographic twist measurements.
Authors: Hjertaas JJ, Matre K Abstract Traditional two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) studies have shown a wide range of twist values, also for normal hearts, which is due to the limitations of short-axis 2D ultrasound. The same limitations do not apply to three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound, and several studies have shown 3D ultrasound to be superior to 2D ultrasound, which is unreliable for measuring twist. The aim of this study was to develop a left ventricular twisting phantom and to evaluate the accuracy of 3D STE twist measurements using different acquisition methods and vol...

Carotid atherosclerosis in people of European, South Asian and African Caribbean ethnicity in the Southall and Brent revisited study (SABRE)
CONCLUSION: Prevalence of carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques varies by ethnicity, independent of risk factors. Lower plaque prevalence in in AC is consistent with their lower risk of CHD but not their higher risk of stroke. Higher cIMT in AC may be explained by risk factors. The similarity of plaque burden in SA and EA despite established differences in ASCVD risk casts some doubt on the utility of carotid ultrasound as a means of assessing risk across these ethnic groups.PMID:36762303 | PMC:PMC9902363 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2022.1002820

Accuracy of Real-Time Single- and Multi-Beat 3-D Speckle Tracking Echocardiography In Vitro
Abstract: With little data published on the accuracy of cardiac 3-D strain measurements, we investigated the agreement between 3-D echocardiography and sonomicrometry in an in vitro model with a polyvinyl alcohol phantom. A cardiac scanner with a 3-D probe was used to acquire recordings at 15 different stroke volumes at a heart rate of 60 beats/min, and eight different stroke volumes at a heart rate of 120 beats/min. Sonomicrometry was used as a reference, monitoring longitudinal, circumferential and radial lengths. Both single- and multi-beat acquisitions were recorded. Strain values were compared with sonomicrometer str...

E-006 Familial Incidence of the Congenital Torcular Dural Arteriovenous Shunt
Purpose There are several hereditary disorders that are well known to be associated with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) involving the central nervous system including Sturge-Weber, Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber, and Parkes-Weber syndromes as well as hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia and hereditary neurocutaneous angiomatosis. Furthermore, familial incidence of AVMs in the absence of congenital hereditary disorders also has been reported. Herein, we describe the occurrence of the giant torcular herophili (TH) dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in two pediatric cousins treated with endovascular embolization. Case report C...

Correlation Between Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
CONCLUSION: CIMT is increased in NAFLD patients. Increase in CIMT is significantly correlated with increasing grades of NAFLD. Hence CIMT can be used as screening tests in NALFD patients to assess cardiovascular risks.PMID:35443534
