However, it is not easy to evaluate the whole-body vascular systems noninvasively within a reasonable time. Up until now, many non-contrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) methods have been developed based on variable principles or MR phenomena; then select the appropriate...
متن کاملTotal atherosclerotic burden by whole body magnetic resonance angiography predicts major adverse cardiovascular events.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the Total Atherosclerotic Score (TAS), a measurement of the overall atherosclerotic burden of the arterial tree by whole body magnetic resonance angiography (WBMRA), and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stroke and/or coronary revasculariz...

In 2013, the World Health Organization launched the 25×25 Global Action Plan, an ambitious road map for countri...
متن کاملBurden of esophageal cancer in Iran during 1995-2015: Review of findings from the Global Burden of Disease studies
Background: Iran is located in Asian esophageal cancer belt, with age-standardized incidence rate (ASR) of approximately 7 per 100,000 for both men and women. To provide potential solution recommendations for achieving accurate estimations regarding the burden of the disease in Iran, we designed a study to assess the burden of esophageal cancer in Iran during 1995-2015 by collecting data from t...
