TLDR
CIMT as measured by B-mode ultrasound is associated with future cardiovascular events, however, the addition of CIMT to traditional cardiovascular risk prediction models does not lead to a statistical significantly increase in performance of those models.About:

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and dyslipidemia: An update
TL;DR: Non-alcoholic fatty liver patients have an increased risk for both liver and CV disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality, and associations between NAFLD, dyslipidemia and vascular disease inNAFLD patients are discussed.

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness for Atherosclerosis.
TL;DR: It remains unclear whether routine carotid IMT measurement is useful for the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis in clinical practice, and Physicians should comprehensively interpret the results ofcarotid ultrasonography.

TL;DR: Association with risk factors and positive CACS was stronger in femoral than carotid arteries, and Screening for femoral plaques may be an appealing strategy for improving cardiovascular risk scales and predicting coronary disease.

TL;DR: The simpler cPTmax predicted cardiovascular events similarly to the more comprehensive cPB, whereas IMT did not, and may be a simple useful measure for prediction of future ASCVD.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease
TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

The meaning and use of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
TL;DR: A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.
