Aims: To investigate the relationships between carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and conventional cardiovascular risk factors in Uygur population.
Methods: In totally 226 Uygur subjects, common carotid IMT values were detected, and the anthropometric and laboratory measurements were recorded.
Results: Correlation analysis showed that the factors of age, BMI, SBP, DBP, PP, hypertension, TC, LDL-C, TG, Apo B, diabetes mellitus, glucose, smoking status, creatinine, IHD, and stroke were significantly and positively associated with carotid IMT in Uygur males. In Uygur females, significant positive associations with carotid IMT were observed for age, BMI, SBP, DBP, PP, hypertension, TC, LDL-C, TG, diabetes mellitus, glucose, IHD, and stroke, and a significant inverse association was found for HDL-C. Multiple regression analyses suggested that LDL-C, age, TG, creatinine, BMI, smoking, hypertension, and diabetes were independently associated with carotid IMT in Uygur males. However, for carotid IMT in Uygur females, SBP, age, TG, HDL-C, BMI, and diabetes were independent determinants.
Conclusion: Carotid artery IMT could be used as a predictive tool for atherosclerotic lesions and cardiovascular diseases in Uygur population, which might contribute to the prevention and management of the local disease.

Cervical Vessels Color Doppler Ultrasound Findings in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Comparative Analytical Study.
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

Eye Research Center, Department of Eye, Amiralmomenin Hospital, School of Medicine, Guilan University of Medical Sciences, Rasht, Iran.
The main etiology of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is uncertain and vascular problems have been proposed as one of the underlying factors in this disease. Patients with SSNHL and people without any hearing or ear disorders as the control group were included in the study (aged 18-65 years). Clinical examination, pure tone audiometry, and color doppler ultrasound of the neck vessels were performed for all patients and control subjects, on both sides, to check blood flow, peak systolic velocity (PSV), vascular diameter, and intima-media thickness (IMT) in the common carotid (CCA), vertebral (VA), and internal carotid arteries (ICA).

Aims: This study determined the association of the glycaemia risk index (GRI), a novel comprehensive metric derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Methods: We evaluated the relationship between GRI and intima-media thickness (IMT), gray-scale median (GSM), tissue characteristics of the carotid artery wall, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), using baseline data from a multicenter prospective cohort study of 1000 Japanese patients with T2DM free of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Results: The study subjects were 999 patients (age: 64.

Context: Both primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and chronic hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT) are associated with the onset and development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of parathyroid disorders on endothelial dysfunction and platelet aggregation, two main determinants of CVDs, are not completely understood.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of PHPT and HypoPT on oxidative stress, endothelial and platelet function.

Background: Children with type 1 diabetes have an increased risk of macrovascular complications. This study used ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS), enabling differentiation of intima thickness (IT), and media thickness (MT) in peripheral arteries, to examine early peripheral arterial changes in children with type 1 diabetes (CWD).
Methods: This cross-sectional and case-control study performed at the Queen Silvia Children's Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden included CWD, aged 6-15.

To explore the stability of carotid plaques and their relationship with biomarkers in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 160 cases of AIS patients with T2DM. They were divided into plaque group, intima thickening group (CG), and normal intima group (DG).
