Increased intima–media thickness (IMT) is a non-invasive marker of early arterial wall
alteration, which is easily assessed in the carotid artery by B-mode ultrasound, and more …

Intima-media thickness (IMT) is increasingly used in clinical trials as a surrogate end point
for determining the success of interventions that lower risk factors for atherosclerosis. The …

Intima-media thickness (IMT) provides a surrogate end point of cardiovascular outcomes in
clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of cardiovascular risk factor modification. Carotid artery …

The role of retinal microglial cells (MCs) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is
unclear. Here we demonstrated that all retinal MCs express CX3C chemokine receptor 1 …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to compare the performance of several measures of
carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) as predictors of cardiovascular events (CVEs), and to …

CSF surrounding the intracranial arteries increases as a result of brain atrophy. 9 With MRI
methods that provide dark CSF signal or suppress the CSF signal, the outer walls will …

Fast and accurate diagnosis of stroke is crucial for the immediate application of the right
therapy to patients. However, rapid diagnosis is still a challenge since an ischemic stroke …

Background and Purpose—The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of
intracranial plaques and stenoses and their causal role in patients with fatal stroke …

Aims Carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) is an independent predictor of vascular events
in the general population. Currently, little is known about the relationship between CIMT and …
