The development of accelerated atherosclerosis in SSc is less clear‚ however‚ an increase in carotid IMT in SSc patients has been reported [6‚ 7]‚ clinically there is also little evidence for increased macrovascular complications such as stroke and myocardial infarction in SSc patients [4]. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) as measured by high-resolution ultrasound is a well-validated marker of subclinical atherosclerosis [8].

It is hard to find any person that is not affected by a traumatic brain injury or stroke‚ whether they personally experienced the brain injury‚ or they know someone who was affected by a brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are any injuries to the brain caused by a range of bumps‚ jolts‚ and even penetrations‚ which have a negative impact on normal function in the brain. Concussions may be considered mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) because the people experiencing concussions have shorter

Introduction Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is currently defined as an idiopathic‚ segmental‚ non-inflammatory and non-atherosclerotic disease of the musculature of arterial walls‚ leading to stenosis of small and medium-sized arteries.[1] The prevalence of FMD is not precisely known. Several studies determined prevalence in arteriograms of potential kidney donors. Craig et al reviewed the results of 1‚862 renal angiograms obtained in potential renal donors and found FMD in 71 patient (3.8%).[2]

Celsius to 34 degrees Celsius. Studies have shown that by decreasing the core body temperature‚ cellular metabolism decreases by 5 to 7%. Therefore‚ the likelihood of ischemic damage decreases and improves neurological outcomes. The cellular membrane of the brain will strengthen and decrease the rush of ions to the area after the ischemic event. Induced hypothermia protects the brain by decreasing the metabolic demand of oxygen and oxygen consumption‚ allowing the body to rest and preserving neurological

Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices. Cardiovascular disease in our arteries can begin as early as our teenage years. Often a body ’s resistance to insulin‚ which is a natural hormone produced by the pancreas‚ leads to Type 2 diabetes and disease in your blood vessels.
