Journal ArticleDOI
Improved common carotid elasticity and intima-media thickness measurements from computer analysis of sequential ultrasound frames
TL;DR: Comparison of the phasic relationship of D(max) and D(min) measured from the B-mode ultrasound image with the simultaneously recorded electrocardiogram (ECG) signal in the 24 subjects provided a more accurate method of frame selection for arterial diameter extrema independent of the ECG signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
T Cell Activation and Senescence Predict Subclinical Carotid Artery Disease in HIV-Infected Women
Robert C. Kaplan,Elizabeth Sinclair,Alan L. Landay,Nell S. Lurain,A. Richey Sharrett,Stephen J. Gange,Xiaonan Xue,Peter W. Hunt,Roksana Karim,David M. Kern,Howard N. Hodis,Steven G. Deeks +11 more
TL;DR: HIV-associated T cell changes are associated with subclinical carotid artery abnormalities, which may be observed even among those patients achieving viral suppression with effective antiretroviral therapy.
Estrogen and progestogen use in peri- and postmenopausal women: March 2007 position statement of The North American Menopause Society
Wulf H. Utian,David F. Archer,Gloria Bachmann,J. C. Gallagher,Francine Grodstein,J. R. Heiman,Victor W. Henderson,Howard N. Hodis,Richard H. Karas,Roger A. Lobo,JoAnn E. Manson,Robert L. Reid,Peter Schmidt,Cynthia A. Stuenkel,Nams +14 more
TL;DR: Current evidence supports the use of ET or EPT for menopause-related symptoms and disease prevention in appropriate populations of peri- and postmenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low CD4+ T cell count as a major atherosclerosis risk factor in HIV-infected women and men
Robert C. Kaplan,Lawrence A. Kingsley,Stephen J. Gange,Lorie Benning,Lisa P. Jacobson,Jason Lazar,Kathryn Anastos,Phyllis C. Tien,Phyllis C. Tien,A. Richey Sharrett,Howard N. Hodis +10 more
TL;DR: Beyond traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors, low CD4+ T-cell count is the most robust risk factor for increased subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in HIV-infected women and men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambient air pollution and the progression of atherosclerosis in adults.
Nino Künzli,Michael Jerrett,Raquel Garcia-Esteban,Xavier Basagaña,Bernardo Beckermann,Frank D. Gilliland,Merce Medina,John M. Peters,Howard N. Hodis,Wendy J. Mack +9 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to report an association between exposure to air pollution and the progression of atherosclerosis – indicated with CIMT change – in humans, and suggests that air pollution may contribute to the acceleration of cardiovascular disease development.
