Evaluation of in-stent restenosis after carotid artery stenting with superb microvascular imaging: initial findings.

Background: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an interventional management in preventing ischemic stroke caused by carotid artery stenosis. After the treatment with CAS, in-stent restenosis caused by neointimal hyperplasia may develop.

Purpose: This study aims to obtain a better determination of neointimal hyperplasia using superb microvascular imaging (SMI), which provides a high-quality visualization of the endoluminal lesions, and to compare these results with B-mode and Doppler ultrasound (US).

Insights Into Retinal Pathologies in Neurological Disorders: A Focus on Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Alzheimer's Disease.

Neurological diseases are central nervous system (CNS) disorders affecting the whole body. Early diagnosis of the diseases is difficult due to the lack of disease-specific tests. Adding new biomarkers external to the CNS facilitates the diagnosis of neurological diseases.

An Expanded Narrative Review of Neurotransmitters on Alzheimer's Disease: The Role of Therapeutic Interventions on Neurotransmission.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. The accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles are the key players responsible for the pathogenesis of the disease. The accumulation of Aβ plaques and tau affect the balance in chemical neurotransmitters in the brain.

Selective Transarterial Embolization for Intractable Hematuria Due to Bladder Carcinomas: A Single-Center Experience.

Objective: Malignant bladder neoplasms can cause life-threatening persistent hematuria. Selective transarterial embolization is an effective way to achieve hemostasis in such patients. The purpose of our study is to share our experience in these patients and to evaluate the short- and long-term effectiveness of this procedure.

Evaluation of Renal Artery Variations in Horseshoe Kidneys with Computed Tomography.

Objective: Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly, accounting for 90%. The study aims to explore the variations in the renal arteries of individuals with horseshoe kidney anomalies and contribute to the classification in the literature.

Materials And Methods: Computed tomography images of 145 individuals who had intravenous contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography for any reason and had horseshoe kidney anomalies were analyzed retrospectively, and the presence, origin, and number of accessory renal arteries were evaluated.
