Internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis often presents bilaterally and is a major cause of stroke. Carotid duplex ultrasound used for estimation via peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic (EDV), ICA/common (CCA) ratio. endarterectomy (CEA) common surgery ICA carries high risk stroke mortality. In near occlusion with >90% stenosis, collateral flow through contralateral can compensate increas...

We propose a novel method using a perfectly local facial representation based on ICA. We named our method “LS-ICA method”. In the LS-ICA method, basis images are made from their corresponding ICA basis images simply by removing non-salient regions. The LS-ICA basis images display perfectly local characteristics because they contain only locally salient feature regions. This enables us to effect...

BACKGROUND The kinking of the internal carotid artery (ICA) after final closure in carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is thought to be uncommon. When it occurs, it is mandatory to reconstruct ICA to preserve normal blood flow. We herein present a case in which a fixation technique was applied to repair an ICA that became kinked during CEA. CASE DESCRIPTION A 68-year-old man presented with cerebral ...

We assessed the prevalence and characteristics of neuro-ophthalmological manifestations (NOMs) in patients with stroke due to internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. NOMs were evaluated in 81 patients with ICA dissection and 229 patients with ICA atherosclerotic occlusion from the Lausanne Stroke Registry. NOMs, seen in 57% of patients with ICA dissection consisted of visual field defect (32%), ...

A 51-year-old man presented with right orbital pain and Horner syndrome three weeks previously. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no intracranial abnormalities, time-of-flight imaging of MR angiography (Picture A) detected an intimal flap and T1-weighted imaging (Picture B) indicated an intramural hematoma in the right internal carotid artery (ICA) at the cervical segment. Threed...

The article examines feminatives as a semantic and word-formation category. In Slavic languages are mainly regarded modificational derivatives formed from masculine by the whole replacement of suffix (bor-(-ec/-k?), partial (bra-l/(-ec/-ka), or adding feminine to (miz-ar/-ka). Due expansion global communication through mass media, inevitable broadening vocabulary requires adaptation borrowed wo...

The idea of the InterCriteria Analysis (ICA) was generated by authors in 2014. For next (already 9) years, ICA has been an object intensive research and applications. In present paper, extension is introduced. it, criteria or objects have their own weight coefficients, priorities. particular case, when these coefficients are equal to 1, standard appears.

BACKGROUND The regulation of PTH secretion by calcium is altered in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). A similar abnormality may occur in secondary HPT, but comparisons of PTH secretion in normal subjects and those with secondary HPT have given contrasting results. Differences in baseline serum ionized calcium (ICa) may partly account for these conflicting results. The aim of the ...

BACKGROUND Measuring blood calcium level is recommended in haemodialysis (HD) patients. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes position states that the measurement of ionized calcium (ICa) level is preferred, but in the clinical setting, due to technical difficulties, total calcium (tCa) level is preferred to ICa. AIM The aim of this study was to test the possibility of delayed ICa anal...
