Common CCR 5 polymorphism in stroke: the CCR 5 delta32 polymorphism differentiates cardioembolism from other aetiologies of ischaemic cerebrovascular diseases.

30 Oct 2009 Inflammation is involved in the development of atherosclerosis. The CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) initiates chemotaxis and modulates the inflammation secondary to atherosclerosis and related vascular diseases. The CCR5 Delta32 polymorphism ... Read more...

[Value of colour Doppler ultrasonography in relation to clinical pretest probability in giant cell (temporal) arteritis]

4 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Colour Doppler sonography (CDS) is an established technique in the diagnosis of giant-cell (temporal) arteritis (GCA). The predictive value of its diagnostic criteria for GCA (halo sign or stenosis) is related to the pretest probability ... Read more...

Infrapopliteal balloon angioplasty for the treatment of chronic occlusive disease.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: There is little documentation of the effectiveness of percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) of infrapopliteal vessels for the treatment of chronic lower extremity ischemia. This study reviewed our recent experience with infrapopliteal ... Read more...
