PREVALENCE OF NAFLD IN THE GULF OF SIDRA, LIBYA
Abstract: Currently the most common chronic liver condition, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major global health concern. Despite its rising global incidence, epidemiological data regarding NAFLD prevalence in Libya remain scarce. This cross-sectional study aimed t…
ACCURACY OF ULTRASOUND IN THE DETECTION OF APPENDICITIS
Abstract: Ultrasound (US) is the preferred first-line imaging modality for diagnosing in acute appendicitis. The published sensitivity and specificity of ultrasonography are higher than the results observed by clinicians in everyday practice. The aim of this study was to elucidat…
Distinguish the stable and unstable plaques based on arterial waveform analysis
The rupturing of unstable plaques, formed by atherosclerosis, is the main factor contributing to the stroke event. According to stroke association in 2017, the stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the UK. The percentage of plaque composition plays an important role for…
DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF D-DIMER FOR PULMONARY EMBOLISM: DETERMINATION OF AN OPTIMAL HIGH CUTOFF VALUE
Abstract: It might be difficult to diagnose acute pulmonary embolism (APE) in a timely manner since it is a potentially lethal illness. The preferred modality is now computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), which adds to the growing strain on CT scanners in emergency roo…
The composition of vulnerable plaque and its effect on arterial waveforms
Carotid plaque composition is a key factor of plaque stability and it carries significant prognostic information. The carotid unstable plaques are characterized by a thin fibrous cap (FC)≤ 65 μ m with large lipid core (LC), while stable plaques have a thicker FC and less LC. Iden…
Mechanisms of the Stable and Vulnerable Arterial Plaques and Their Associations with the Arterial Waveforms
Carotid plaque composition is a key factor of plaque stability and it carries a significant prognostic information. The carotid unstable plaques are characterized by thin fibrous cap ≤65μm with large lipid core (LC) while stable plaques have thicker fibrous cap and less LC. Ident…
