Background:
Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is increasingly identified as a marker of atherosclerosis and increased risk of cerebrovascular disease.Aim:
We aimed to investigate the prevalence of carotid IMT in asymptomatic Indian individuals, more than 40 years of age, and correlate it with other risk factors for cerebrovascular ischemia.Materials and Methods:
Individuals attending outpatient services of Nizam''s Institute of Medical Sciences, who were asymptomatic for cerebrovascular ischemia underwent detailed history and carotid Doppler examination. IMT on mid common carotid artery (CCA) was measured. All subjects’ blood was taken for biochemical estimation of fasting blood sugar and total cholesterol levels.Results:
Out of 1,392 subjects, 571 (41%) had abnormal IMT and 821 (59%) had normal IMT. On comparison of the two groups, the factors significantly associated with abnormal IMT were mean older age (59 vs 50.7 years; P < 0.0001) and higher prevalence of hypertension (257 (45%) vs 236 (28.7%); P < 0.0001), diabetes (159 (27.8%) vs 139 (16.9%); P < 0.0001), and hypercholesterolemia (124 (21.7%) vs113 (13.7%); P = 0.0001). After adjustment with multiple logistic regression, significant predictors were age (odds 3.2; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.5-4.1), male gender (odds 1.5; 95% CI 1.1-1.9), hypercholesterolemia (odds 1.5; 95% CI 1.1-2.0), hypertension (odds 1.4; 95% CI 1.1-1.8), and diabetes (odds 1.3; 95% CI 1.0-1.7).Conclusion:
We found age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia to be independent risk factor for abnormal IMT in asymptomatic subjects over 40 years of age. 相似文献2.

Various diseases in the pediatric age group can present as an intrathoracic rounded opacity on a chest radiograph. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to emphasize the imaging appearance of round pneumonia, an entity that occurs especially in the pediatric population. Additional pathologies with similar chest radiographic appearances are also presented. The diagnosis of round pneumonia should be made in children who have the typical clinical presentation along with chest radiographs demonstrating the characteristic findings. 相似文献
