Objective Calcium metabolism has long been implicated in aortic stenosis (AS). Studies assessing the long-term safety of oral calcium and/or vitamin D in AS are scarce yet imperative given the rising ...

Concurrent conditions such as cerebrovascular stenosis and coronary artery disease pose significant challenges for patients. Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP)-based health education models offer ...

Aircraft detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images plays a crucial role in supporting essential tasks, such as airport management and airspace monitoring. Most of the existing SAR aircraft ...

This paper approaches scatterometer image reconstruction as the inversion of a discrete noisy aperture-filtered sampling operation. Aperture-filtered sampling is presented and contrasted with ...

Aortic valve stenosis is the most prevalent heart valve disease worldwide. Although interventional treatment options have rapidly improved in recent years, symptomatic aortic valve stenosis is still ...

Background Aortic stenosis is a degenerative condition with high mortality in its severe stages and no preventive treatment. While diabetes is a known risk factor, the role of elevated glucose levels ...

Background Patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) are prone to stroke recurrence despite aggressive medical treatment. Further assessment of the anatomy and physiology of ICAS is ...

Background: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is characterized by a phenotypic switch of valvular interstitial cells to bone-forming cells. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are evolutionarily conserved ...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) uses microwaves to create detailed images in any weather, providing valuable environmental data.

The growing life expectancy of the population is increasing the occurrence of diseases affecting the elderly age group, notably the non-rheumatic degenerative valvular diseases and, in particular, ...
