SINGLE-STAGE EXTRACRANIAL AND INTRACRANIAL STENTING OF THE INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERY IN A PATIENT WITH OPEN CIRCLE OF WILLIS AND ASSOCIATED RENOVASCULAR HYPERTENSION

We describe a case of 72-year-old patient with recurrent transient ischemic attacks in the right internal carotid artery (ICA) territory associated with uncontrolled hypertension.Duplex ultrasonography und carotid angiography showed a 60% stenosis with signs of a vulnerable plaque in the cervical segment, as well as a 90% stenosis in the cavernous

BackgroundLeft-sided breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy are at risk for coronary artery disease, and/or radiation mediated effects on the microvasculature.Previously our laboratory demonstrated in canines with hybrid 18FDG/PET a progressive global inflammatory response during the initial one year following treatment.In this stud

Given the recognized health effects Sports of visceral fat, the understanding of how diet can modulate changes in the phenotype "waist circumference for a given body mass index (WC(BMI))", a proxy measure of visceral adiposity, is deemed necessary.Hence, the objective of the present study was to assess the association between dietary factors and pr

Hyperspectral images (HSIs) include hundreds of spectral bands, which lead to Hughes phenomenon in classification task and decrease the classification accuracy.Feature selection can remove redundant and noisy features in the HSIs to overcome this phenomenon.In real applications, we may face a HSI scene with only a few labeled samples.Meanwhile, the
