F-18-FDG Uptake and Calcifications in the Thoracic Aorta on Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography Examinations Frequency and Stability on Serial Scans
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011-02-01)
Purpose: Vascular F-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (F-18-FDG) uptake has been suggested as a means of identifying metabolically active atheroma, whereas vascular calcification is accepted as an indicator of atherosclerosis. ...
Coronary artery calcification, systemic inflammation markers and mineral metabolism in a peritoneal dialysis population
(Karger, 2006-01-01)
Aims: To assess the prevalence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and to determine whether comorbidities such as inflammation, dyslipidemia and mineral metabolism disorders correlate ...
Coronary Calcification Is Associated With Lower Bone Formation Rate in CKD Patients Not Yet in Dialysis Treatment
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-03-01)
Vascular calcification is a strong prognostic marker of mortality in hemodialysis patients and has been associated with bone metabolism disorders in this population. in earlier stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), ...
Association of Changes in Bone Remodeling and Coronary Calcification in Hemodialysis Patients: A Prospective Study
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-12-01)
Background: Vascular calcification is common and constitutes a prognostic marker of mortality in the hemodialysis population. Derangements of mineral metabolism may influence its development. the aim of this study is to ...
Polymorphism related to cardiovascular risk in hemodialysis subjects: a systematic review
(Brazilian Journal of Nephrology, 2019)
Peritoneal dialysis per se is a risk factor for sclerostin-associated adynamic bone disease
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-05-01)
Chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a complex syndrome influenced by various factors, such as age, CKD etiology, uremic toxins, and dialysis modality. Although extensively studied in hemodialysis (HD) ...
Discondroplasia tibial: mecanismos de lesão e controle
(Fundação APINCO de Ciência e Tecnologia Avícolas, 2002-12-01)
A discondroplasia tibial (DT) é atribuída a uma assincronia no processo de diferenciação dos condrócitos, levando à formação de uma camada de condrócitos pré-hipertróficos e de uma cartilagem na tíbia proximal que não é ...
Bovine pericardium retail preserved in glutaraldehyde and used as a vascular patch
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2011-12-22)
Background: In this study we evaluated the performance of bovine pericardium preserved in glutaraldehyde used as a vascular patch.Methods: Fourteen young pigs, six females and eight males, weighting 10.3 - 18.4 kg were ...
The shift from high to low turnover bone disease after parathyroidectomy is associated with the progression of vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients: A 12-month follow-up study
(Public Library Science, 2017)
Parathyroidectomy (PTX) may cause low levels of PTH, leading to an excessive reduction of bone turnover, which is associated with poor outcomes in dialysis patients, including vascular calcification (VC). We aimed to ...
