Choroidal vascularity index in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.

Objective: To investigate the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) and its relationship with clinical features and clinical activity score METHODS: Right eyes of 53 patients with TAO and 53 healthy subjects were scanned for subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT), CVI, choroid-stromal area (C-SA), choroid-luminal area (C-LA), choroidal stromal index (CSI), choroid-stromal-to-luminal-area ratio, and CVI and CSI within the central 1500 µm of the macula (CVI and CSI) by enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography. The results of the TAO group and the healthy controls were compared.

Results: The SFCT was significantly greater in the TAO group than in the control group (p = 0.

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is associated with proximal/middle segment of the LAD lesions in patients with ST segment elevation infarction.

Introduction: Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was revaled to have a close relation with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The relationship between NLR and culprit plaque localization has never been studied.

Aim Of The Study: To evaluate the association between NLR and unstable plaque localization of left anterior descending artery (LAD) in anterior miyocardial infarction patients.
