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...

Compression of the left renal artery and celiac trunk by diaphragmatic crura.

29 Sep 2009 Symptomatic compression of the celiac trunk by crura of the diaphragm is a rare disorder. Even more infrequent external compression of renal arteries is found. Although the indication for surgical therapy is controversially discussed in the ... Read more...
