Cohort profile: the cardiovascular risk in Young Finns Study.

2008

In Finland, coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence was very high in the 1960s and 1970s. In line with this high incidence, the Seven Countries Study showed that the level of serum cholesterol in Finns was also the highest among the investigated countries in the 1960s. Because several studies indicated that the atherosclerotic process starts early in life, and in accord with the World Health Organization Recommendation of 1978 which stated that studies assessing atherosclerosis precursors in children should be initiated, a program was launched in Finland in the late 1970s to study cardiovascular risk in the youth. The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study was designed as a collaborative e…

Arteriosclerosis carotídea subclínica en pacientes con hiperlipidemia familiar combinada. Evolución tras dos años de tratamiento con dosis altas de a…

2012

Resumen Fundamento y objetivo La hiperlipidemia familiar combinada (HFC) es un modelo genetico de dislipidemia aterogenica con insulinorresistencia y cardiopatia isquemica precoz. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar la presencia de alteraciones a nivel carotideo, como marcador de arteriosclerosis sistemica, en sujetos con HFC, y valorar el efecto del tratamiento con 80 mg de atorvastatina diarios durante 2 anos sobre el grosor de la placa de ateroma. Sujetos y metodos Estudiamos 100 sujetos con HFC sin diabetes en prevencion primaria reclutados consecutivamente. Se determinaron parametros clinicos y bioquimicos, y se realizo ecografia carotidea. En los sujetos con placa de ateroma se inicio tratam…

PROGNOSTIC IMPACT OF HYPERTENSION AND CAROTID LESIONS IN A FIVE YEARS FOLLOW UP

Impact of infectious burden on extent and long-term prognosis of atherosclerosis.

2002

Background — Recent findings suggest a causative role of infections in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In hypothesizing an association between infectious agents and the development of atherosclerosis, we would expect a correlation to the extent of atherosclerosis. Moreover, this effect could be multiplied by the number of pathogens to which an individual had been exposed. Methods and Results — In 572 patients, IgG or IgA antibodies to herpes simplex virus 1 and 2, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, Hemophilus influenzae , Chlamydia pneumoniae , Mycoplasma pneumoniae , and Helicobacter pylori were measured. The extent of atherosclerosis was determined by coronary angiography, carotid…

Blutungen nach CO2-laserchirurgischer Tumorentfernung im HNO-Bereich

2004

Background: There are different reports in the literature how often postoperative hemorrhage occurs after laser resection of head-and-neck tumours. This retrospective study investigates the frequency of postoperative hemorrhage after laser surgery of head and neck tumours. Time and extent of bleeding have been considered as well as the localization of the primary tumour and possible general risk factors. Methods and Patients: Between 1998 and 2001, microscopic laser surgery was performed in 223 patients with previously untreated squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity, oropharynx, supraglottic and glottic region and the hypopharynx. In case of ultrasonographic or palpable evidence of ce…

Vascular labeling of the head and neck vessels : technique, advantages and limitations

2017

Background Vascular staining techniques have been used to describe the vascular structures of several anatomic areas. However, few reports have described this procedure in the head and neck region. This paper describes a head and neck vascular labeling procedure, and describes some of the technical complications that may occur. Material and methods Fifteen specimen cadaver heads were prepared. After drying the vascular system, the internal carotid arteries were ligated and a solution with latex and a gelling agent was injected into the internal carotid arteries and external jugular veins. Two different colors were employed to differentiate arteries from veins. A total of 60ml latex was inje…
