We hypothesized a relationship between virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) findings and risk factors histopathologically associated with sudden coronary death (SCD) in men: cigarette smoking an increased total cholesterol-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (TC/HDL > 5).We assessed volumetric VH-IVUS parameters consecutive series of 473 male patients: fibrous, fibro-fatty, dense calcium (DC), necrotic core (NC), calculated NC/DC ratio. Patients' age was 61...
Background: Recent studies suggest that leucocyte elastase is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The objective this study was to characterize role arterial disease women. Methods: Forty-two women underwent coronary angiography because chest pain or valvulopathy. Twenty-three showed no signs lesions (group 1) and 19 had stenosis 2). Their age, weight height were recorded, together with presence angina, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, any family history levels tobacco...
Objective Vocal fold scar and sulcus pose significant treatment challenges with no current optimal treatment. Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), an autologous concentration of growth factors, holds promise for regenerating the superficial lamina propria. This study aims to evaluate potential benefits serial PRP injections on mucosal wave restoration vocal function. Methods In a prospective clinical trial across two institutions, patients underwent four injections, one month apart. Blinded...
