In this case report, we would like to present four representative cases with this physiological monitoring system during CPR. Cases: We invasively measured femoral arterial pressure and femoral venous pressure if catheters were immediately inserted into the femoral artery and femoral vein for potential candidates who required extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation but did not receive such interventions. We presented several cases, including two cases in which cardiopulmonary resuscitation resulted in higher femoral arterial pressure compared to femoral venous pressure, an upward trend in cerebral tissue oxygen saturation values was observed, and both instances achieved the return of spontaneous circulation. In contrast, we also presented two patients with significant increases in femoral venous pressure and low cerebral tissue oxygen saturation values. In both cases, the return of spontaneous circulation was not achieved. Conclusions: We presented cases in which the femoral venous pressure exceeded the femoral arterial pressure using a simultaneous physiological monitoring system to monitor arterial pressure, venous pressure, and cerebral tissue oxygen saturation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Further case accumulations will be necessary to assess the variations in hemodynamic status during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the association between each hemodynamic status and outcomes after cardiac arrest.","PeriodicalId":74009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of vascular diseases","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135301743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper summarizes the imaging features of the supplying arteries and draining vessels in patients with PS with an aim to assist in timely clinical diagnosis and operation guidance. Materials and Methods: A total of 55 patients with PS diagnosed using CTPA from multiple clinical centers were retrospectively analyzed. Data included demographic characteristics, imaging features, disease location, isolation type, and the features of supplying and draining vessels, as shown on CTPA images. Results: Of the 55 patients reviewed, 3 (5.45%) were children, 3 (5.45%) were adolescents, and 49 (89.09%) were adults; the mean age was 44 years. Fifty-four (98.18%) patients had intralobar sequestration and one (1.82%) had extralobar sequestration. PS was noted 3.5 times more frequently in the left lower lobe than in the right lower lobe. For the supplying arteries, 47 (85.45%) were derived from the descending thoracic aorta, 1 (1.82%) from the abdominal aorta, 7 (12.73%) from the celiac axis, and 1 (1.82%) from the bronchial artery. The draining vessels were the pulmonary veins in 49 patients (89.09%), the umbilical vein in 1 (1.82%), the venae intercostal in 1 (1.82%), the pulmonary arteries in 11 (20.00%), and the vessels were not shown on the images in 2 patients (3.64%). Conclusion: Clinical presentations of PS are non-specific and can be easily missed or misdiagnosed. However, CTPA can help to improve the diagnostic accuracy and identify the supplying arteries and draining vessels, which significantly contribute to surgical planning.","PeriodicalId":74009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of vascular diseases","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135459126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of high-resolution micro-CT with SRCT in the assessment of calcified plaques and a previously published dataset of coronary stenosis assessment. This experimental study involved micro-CT scanning of three-dimensional printed coronary artery models with calcification in situ used in our previously published SRCT study on coronary stenosis assessment. Measurements of coronary stenosis utilizing both modalities were compared using a paired sample t-test. The degrees of stenosis measured on all but one micro-CT dataset were statistically significantly lower than the corresponding SRCT measurements reported in our previous paper (p < 0.0005–0.05). This indicates that the superior spatial resolution of micro-CT was able to further reduce over-estimation of stenosis caused by extensive calcification of coronary arteries and, hence, false positive results. Our results showed that the high-resolution micro-CT used in this study outperformed the Australian Synchrotron SRCT in both calcified plaque and coronary stenosis assessment. These findings will become clinically important for cardiovascular event prediction and enable reclassification of individuals with low and intermediate risk into appropriate risk categories when the technical challenges of micro-CT in clinical practice such as the small field of view and demanding on image processing power are addressed.","PeriodicalId":74009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of vascular diseases","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86195793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study enrolled 1694 Japanese individuals aged 60 to 89 years. Functional atherosclerosis was defined as a cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) ≥ 9.0. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between HTLV-1 carrier status and both serum calcium level and functional atherosclerosis. Even after adjusting for known confounding factors, the serum calcium level was significantly positively associated with functional atherosclerosis only in asymptomatic HTLV-1 carriers. The fully adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of functional atherosclerosis in relation to a one-standard-deviation increment of serum calcium level (0.4 mg/dL in both men and women) were 1.54 (1.18, 2.01) for HTLV-1 carriers (n = 322) and 0.99 (0.87, 1.13) for HTLV-1 non-carriers (n = 1372), respectively.

Elevated NaF uptake within the bilateral carotid arteries signified substantial ongoing vascular microcalcification. Reduced global brain metabolism and region-specific hypometabolism measured with FDG PET indicated potential cerebrovascular mechanisms that may be influencing neurological function. The findings highlight the potential of emerging PET tracers, such as NaF, to improve the diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic management of CVD.

Several diseases have been related to MPs, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, inflammatory diseases, gynecological disorders, and others. Moreover, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have been widely studied, and drugs and artificial molecules that could target MP activity have been evaluated. MPs are relevant to public health because of their role in several diseases and, most of all, their role as biomarkers that also impact the quality of life and the psychosocial dimension of affected patients.

MI is defined as the cognitive skill that involves the representation of an action, internally, without actual motor execution. AO training evokes internally, and in real time, a simulation of the actual motor gestures that the observer is visually perceiving. Both cognitive processes cause an activation of the brain areas related to the planning, adjustment, and automation of voluntary movement in a similar way as when the action is carried out in a real way. Movement representation strategies have shown that they can be a very useful complement to physical practice to improve some particularly relevant aspects in neurological and musculoskeletal patients. In this narrative review, we discuss the effect that the implementation of these motion representation strategies might have on patients with cardiovascular disease. At the cardiovascular level, MI and AO training should be considered as interventional tools for the management of these patients. With these clinical tools, we could try to improve the generation of cardiopulmonary adaptations, improve exercise tolerability, and also increase functionality. However, more research is needed in this field where these clinical tools are combined with cardiac rehabilitation programs to see if the clinical effect is greater than cardiac rehabilitation programs in isolation.","PeriodicalId":74009,"journal":{"name":"Journal of vascular diseases","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74023054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
