Preclinical Morphofunctional Alterations of Large Arteries in Children and Adolescent with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Preliminary Data
2017
Background: Children and adolescent with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are considered one of the pediatric populations at highest cardiovascular risk. Aim: This cross-sectional study was aimed to assess in children and adolescents with T1DM, the clinical correlates of early morphofunctional changes of the large arteries. Methods: Children and adolescents with T1DM treated with basal-bolus insulin therapy were included in the study if they had a disease duration of at least 5 years. The following parameter were examined: waist circumference, waist/height ratio (W/H), BMI, blood pressures, lipid profile, microalbuminuria, insulin dose, HbA1c, carotid intima-media thickness (c-IMT) and the d…
ALTERAZIONI PRECLINICHE CAROTIDEE E PATTERN PRESSORI IN UNA POPOLAZIONE DI BAMBINI E ADOLESCENTI CON DIABETE MELLITO DI TIPO 1: STUDIO PRELIMINARE
OBIETTIVI Il diabete mellito tipo 1 (DMT1) è caratterizzato da un’ elevata mortalità per cardiovasculopatie e l’ipertensione contribuisce signifi cativamente allo sviluppo e progressione del processo aterosclerotico. Scopo di questo studio è quello di valutare, in bambini e adolescenti con DMT1, la prevalenza di anomalie dei pattern pressori rilevati dal monitoraggio ambulatoriale 24h della pressione arteriosa (ABPM) e di alterazioni morfologiche precliniche carotidee. METODI I soggetti affetti da DMT1, in trattamento insulinico multiiniettivo, normoalbuminurici e con durata di malattia > di 2 anni, sono stati reclutati tra quelli afferenti alla U.O.S. di Diabetologia Pediatrica della U.…

Cranial circulation of the pen-tailed tree shrewPtilocercus lowii and relationships of Scandentia
1994
The major cranial arteries and veins are described for a 30-mm crown-rump length fetus of the pen-tailed tree shrewPtilocercus lowii, and comparisons are made with cranial vessels reported in the tree shrewTupaia and with the vascular pattern reconstructed for primitive eutherians.Ptilocercus shares a number of derived features of the cranial circulation withTupaia, which, therefore, represent synapomorphies of tree shrews (Tupaiidae, Scandentia). Included are (1) the enclosure of the intratympanic portion of the internal carotid artery in a bony canal that is floored proximally and distally by the entotympanic and by the petrosal in between, (2) the enclosure of the intratympanic portion o…

Unusual Presentation of Bilateral Carotid Artery Dissection: The Importance of Reasoning Outside the Box
2021
A bilateral internal carotid artery dissection presenting with atypical symptoms of cerebral hypoperfusion has been rarely reported, especially in the absence of obvious precipitating factors. A middle-aged woman presented to the emergency department with a 2-day-history of progressive left arm numbness and weakness, confusion, disorientation and clumsiness worsened by upright position. A cerebral hypoperfusion condition was hypothesized and confirmed by a CT angiography, which showed bilateral internal carotid dissection with uncertain etiology. Screening for predisposing conditions to spontaneous carotid arteries dissection was basically negative. Regarding potential precipitating factors…
