heterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings
from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...
Spotty calcification as a marker of accelerated progression of coronary atherosclerosis: insights from serial intravascular ultrasound.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine atheroma progression in patients with spotty calcification. BACKGROUND Although extensively calcified atherosclerotic lesions have been proposed to be clinically quiescent, the presence of spotty calcification within plaque has been reported to be associated with an increased incidence of ischemic cardiovascular events. The relationship be...
متن کاملImaging of coronary atherosclerosis: intravascular ultrasound.
Atherosclerosis is the main cause of coronary heart disease, which is today the leading cause of death worldwide and will continue to be the first in the world in 2030. In the formation of atherosclerotic coronary lesions, a critical primary step is the accumulation and oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. Oxidized-LDL favours leucocyte recruitment and their activation, as well...
متن کاملSpontaneous left main coronary artery spasm and intravascular ultrasonography findings
Vasospasm causes an abrupt and temporary occlusion in coronary arteries in patients with normal coronary arteries. Nonetheless, vasospasm of the left main coronary artery is unusual and can be spontaneous or iatrogenic. We herein report a very rare cause of temporary spasm of LMCA, which resulted in vasospastic angina and anginal chest pain. Intravascular ultrasonography should be considered as...
متن کاملIntravascular brachytherapy for peripheral vascular disease
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal angioplasties (PTA) through balloon dilatation with or without stenting, i.e. vessel expansion through balloons with or without of implantation of small tubes, called stents, are used in the treatment of peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD). The intravascular vessel irradiation, called intravascular brachytherapy, promises a reduction in the...
