[Anti-aging dock]

29 Jun 2009 Our anti-aging center (AAC) began providing health check-up services to local citizens in western Japan in February 2006, with the mission of promoting 'successful' aging through the employment of anti-aging check-ups, termed 'anti-aging dock' in ... Read more...

Multiple imputation for missing with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging data: results from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).

29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive technique used to accurately and reproducibly measure biological parameters such as left ventricular mass. However, some subjects either refuse or are unable to complete testing, ... Read more...

Haemostatic markers are associated with measures of vascular disease in adults with hypertension.

27 Jan 2009 Haemostatic markers have been implicated in the development and progression of vascular disease. We investigated the associations of several haemostatic markers (fibrinogen, D-dimer, FV, FVII, FVIII, von Willebrand factor (vWF) and antithrombin III) ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Arteriosclerosis'

Definition: Thickening and loss of elasticity of the walls of ARTERIES of all sizes. There are many forms classified by the types of lesions and arteries involved, such as ATHEROSCLEROSIS with fatty lesions in the ARTERIAL INTIMA of medium and large muscular arteries.
