Cardiac troponin I measured with a very high sensitivity assay predicts subclinical carotid atherosclerosis: The Akershus Cardiac Examination 1950 Study
CONCLUSION: Concentrations of cTnI measured with a very high sensitivity assay are predictive of carotid atherosclerotic burden, a phenomenon likely attributable to common risk factors of subclinical myocardial injury, coronary and carotid atherosclerosis.PMID:33861986 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2021.04.005

Effect of Therapeutic Ultrasound on Brain Angiogenesis Following Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Rats
Publication date: Available online 8 August 2015 Source:Microvascular Research Author(s): Hong-Mei Mu, Li-Yong Wang Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) can produce severe neurological deficits in stroke survivors. However, few effective approaches are available to improve the recovery from ICH. Given that therapeutic ultrasound exposure can enhance on angiogenesis in peripheral tissues, the present study was designed to examine the effects of therapeutic ultrasound exposure on the brain angiogenesis following ICH. To this end, we applied once daily therapeutic ultrasound treatment to rats for 7 consecutive days after intrac...

Age-specific non-invasive transcutaneous Doppler ultrasound derived haemodynamic reference ranges in elderly Chinese adults
Conclusions Ageing does not have any significant effect on resting haemodynamics in the elderly population studied. Mild chronic disease does not adversely affect resting haemodynamics in this population. General Significance Reference ranges were established for 21 haemodynamic parameters, as measured by USCOM, for an elderly Chinese population but not for non-Chinese populations.

The association of inflammatory markers with cerebral vasoreactivity and carotid atherosclerosis in transient ischemic attack.
CONCLUSIONS:: TIA is associated with higher ICAM-1, IL-6 and CRP, pointing to the marked inflammatory response to cerebral ischemia. Inflammatory markers are associated with higher IMT and lower BHI, indicating the insufficient cerebral perfusion due to the underlying atherosclerotic disease. Our findings highlight the key significance of inflammation in the early response to ischemia during the transitory ischemic episode. PMID: 25046654 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
