Does HTLV-1 infection lead to increased intima-media thickness (IMT)? “Evidences form human clinical studies”
Briefly, based on the previous evidence and the results of the present study, it seems that infection with HTLV-1 by destruction of sub-layers of arteries, especially the intima layer, leads to disruption of the integrity of sub-layers of arteries and through various mechanisms, causing the sub-layer’s destruction, increasing the intima-media thickness, changing the lipid profile, and developme...
متن کاملincreased carotid intima-media thickness in scuba divers.
background: scuba divers work in high pressure conditions which may cause some changes in physiological status to adapt to this situation. in this study, the carotid intima-media thickness (cimt) was assessed in divers as a risk factor of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disorders. methods: this historical cohort study was performed on 16 male professional scuba divers as case group and 30 he...
متن کاملIncreased aortic intima-media thickness: a marker of preclinical atherosclerosis in high-risk children.
BACKGROUND Autopsy studies in children have shown that atherosclerotic lesions begin to develop first in the intima of the aorta. Recent developments in ultrasound techniques have made it possible to visualize the intima-medial thickness of the abdominal aorta directly (aIMT). Therefore, we examined the feasibility of measuring aIMT in children and studied its value in distinguishing high-risk ...
متن کاملIncreased aortic intima-media thickness in 11-year-old healthy children with persistent Chlamydia pneumoniae seropositivity.
OBJECTIVE The relationship between Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn) infection and arterial measures of preclinical atherosclerosis has remained controversial. Because atherogenesis begins in early life, we examined whether carotid and aortic intima-media thickness (IMT) and brachial artery endothelial function are associated with Cpn seropositivity in children. METHODS AND RESULTS Cpn-specific IgG ...
متن کاملIncreased carotid intima-media thickness and stiffness in obese children.
O besity in childhood increases the risk of atherosclerotic disease and death in adulthood (1). A dramatic increase in overweight among children and adolescents during the past 2 decades has been documented (2). Moreover, overweight children and adolescents have an increased risk of adult obesity (3). A clustering of factors typical of the insulin resistance syndrome has been identified in 5to ...
