BACKGROUND We sought to investigate the arrhythmogenic role, incidence, treatment, and prognosis of inflammatory left ventricular (LV) microaneurysms in patients with apparently idiopathic ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Methods and Results-- We studied 156 consecutive patients (71 men, 85 women; mean age, 44.1+/-11.8 years) with severe ventricular arrhythmias and normal 2D echo cardiac parameter...

OBJECTIVE Diabetes increases the risk for microvascular disease. The retina and the brain both have intricate microvascular systems that are developmentally similar. We sought to examine whether microvascular lesions in the retina and in the brain are associated and whether this association differs among people with and without diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The analysis included 4,218...

Diabetic Retinopathy is an eye disease which occurs due to damage in the retina as a result of long term illness of diabetic mellitus. Microaneurysm detection is the first step in automated screening of diabetic retinopathy. To perform this detection, several methods have been proposed in the diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. In this paper, initially the pre-processing techniques like gamma co...

Diabetic retinopathy is caused by the retinal micro vasculature which may be formed as a result of diabetes mellitus. Blindness may appear as a result of unchecked and severe cases of diabetic retinopathy. Manual inspection of fundus images to check morphological changes in microaneurysms, exudates, blood vessels, hemorrhages, and macula is a very time-consuming and tedious work. It can be made...

In medical image processing a reliable means of microaneurysms detection in digital retinal images is still an open issue. In this paper, we propose a computerized scheme to improve microaneurysm detection. Image preprocessing is followed by the detection of microaneurysm regions using edge detection. Regions corresponding to blood vessels and bright lesions were removed by image segmentation f...

The number of diabetic patients are increasing nowadays. So the chance for diabetic retinopathic (DR) diseases are also increasing. From the different diabetic retinopathic diseases, microaneurysms (MAs) are the first detectable symptom of DR. This paper makes an attempt to MA detection using blood vessel segmentation and profile analysis. After the removal of connected blood vessels, the remai...

Diabetic retinopathy has been examined in dogs made diabetic by bovine growth hormone or alloxan, and in humans. The thin-walled microaneurysm is a simple expansion of the circumference of the capillary with basement membrane thickening. The thick-walled microaneurysm represents the deposition of considerable debris between layers of thickened basement membrane, as well as compression phenomeno...

Intrahepatic bleeding secondary to rupture of hepatic microaneurysms is an uncommon clinical entity more frequently associated with polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) or rarely with other vasculitis or autoimmune disease. Hepatic vasculitis is reported in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and an association between hepatitis C and PAN is described. The current report presents the case of a midd...

Surgical specimens taken from 14 patients with lobar intracerebral haemorrhage or cerebellar haemorrhage without vascular abnormalities on angiograms were examined histologically. In seven of the 14 patients, arteriovenous malformation or amyloid angiopathy were found by ordinary pathological examinations. Among the remaining seven patients, definite microaneurysms were verified in five and pos...

Expanding need about finding a diabetic retinopathy Similarly as soonest might stop dream misfortune to the prolonged diabetes tolerant In spite of endured youngs. Seriousness of the diabetic retinopathy illness may be measured In light of microaneurysms, exudates detections and it evaluations Similarly as Non-proliferative(NPDR) alternately Proliferative diabetic retinopathy patient(PDR). An r...
