S Oikawa,R Abe,Y Goto 摘要: It is thought that multi-factors may relate to the occurence and exaggeration of arterial sclerosis in diabetes mellitus. We pointed out the calcification of peripheral arteries in the legs on X-ray photographs as a sign of arteriosclerosis, and studied its ...
CalcificationComputed tomographyVascular medicineIntroduction:Increasing prevalence of arterial calcium in the lower extremities of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with worsening clinical outcomes. Calcium burden can be detected in patients using standard imaging methods. However, ...
Arterial stiffening is central in the vascular aging process underlying CVD and reflects a variety of pathologies, including atherosclerosis, vascular calcification and inflammation, vasculopathy of end-stage renal disease, matrix degeneration, and genuine vascular aging featured by smooth muscle cell ...
In addition to the accumulation of plaque, the involved arteries frequently present with fibrosis and calcification, which cause hardening of the artery, or atherosclerosis.87 It is uncommon for a lower extremity ulcer to result from pure arterial etiology. However, arterial insufficiency plays a ...
If the embolus is in an arm or leg, there will be muscle pain, numbness or tingling, pale skin color, lower temperature in the limb, and weakness or loss of muscle function. If it occurs in an internal organ, there is usually pain and/or loss of the organ's function. Diagnosis The...
doi:10.1001/archinte.163.19.2306 Abstract Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is most commonly a manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis in which the arterial lumen of the lower extremities becomes progressively occluded by atherosclerotic plaque. Patients with PAD are at triple the risk of all-cause ...

and Wnt signaling pathway (Fig.3b). These observations were consistent with the compromised endothelial barriers, increased arterial calcification, and fragmentation of the elastic lamina that we observed in aged monkey arteries (Fig.1b–dand Supplementary Fig.1e, f). However, only ~20% of O/...
Calcification ✓ Minor trauma ANCA, Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies; nd, not done. Results Etiology Rheumatoid arthritis Seven patients (78%) gave a history of minor trauma as an immediate cause of their skin lesions. Corticosteroid-induced skin atrophy, especially of the legs and arms, ...
Atherosclerotic development is linked with inflammatory and calcific processes occurring at the vessel wall, having been evaluated in the coronary and carotid circulation using PET/CT analysis with the 18F FDG (inflammation) and 18F NaF (calcification) tracers. Methods 8 patients (16 legs; 5 ...
