Intima-Media-Thickness (IMT) bei Patienten mit vertebrobasilären und karotidalen Stenosen/Verschlüssen
Introduction: The Intima-Media-Thickness (IMT) of the commom carotid artery (CCA) is often used as a parameter for generalized atherosclerotic lesions of the vessel wall. It is possible to visualize the increase of the IMT in an early degree of athrosclerosis as a double line pattern in the …

Predictability of Cardiovascular Disease Event Rates by Common Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communties (ARIC) Study
… Carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) is a non-invasive reliable predictor of the extent and severity of CVD. There is difficulty acquiring all measurements for validated three-site carotid IMT. More accessible one-site common carotid artery (CCA) IMT has not yet been validated …

Establishing Intratumoral Modulation Therapy as a New Treatment Modality for High Grade Gliomas
… for GBM called Intratumoral Modulation Therapy (IMT) which uses customized, implanted bioelectrodes to deliver sustained, titratable and focused therapeutic electric fields into tumor-affected brain regions. My work has confirmed and expanded the group’s previous in vitro evidence of IMT efficacy …

Physiological consequences of the work of breathing and of inspiratory muscle training
… exercise following inspiratory muscle training (IMT). However, whether the inspiratory muscles are, in part, the source of these reductions remains unknown. Accordingly, this thesis investigated: (I) the contribution of the respiratory muscles to the systemic [lac-]B and (II) the effects of IMT …

The influence of inspiratory muscle training upon balance and functional performance with older adults.
… of structured inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on respiratory function can improve indices of balance and physical performance with older adults. The project comprises three studies, each involved IMT delivered over 8 weeks, at home, and unsupervised. The IMT included: workload progression …

Assessing the Role of Inspiratory Muscle Training in Enhancing Respiratory Function among Adults with COPD
… with COPD. Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) has been proposed as a targeted, non-pharmacological intervention to strengthen inspiratory muscles and improve respiratory and functional outcomes; however, variability in training protocols and outcome measures has limited its consistent …

An Epidemiologic Analysis of Intergenerational Child Maltreatment
… called intergenerational child maltreatment (IMT). Many prior studies of IMT have been conducted in individualistic methodologies that are well-suited to describe nuanced mechanisms and individual treatments. A public health approach, focused on surveillance, risk factor identification, and …

Ex-vivo 3D assessment of carotid stenosis with ultrasound
… changes in the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). Non-invasive peripheral vascular ultrasound (U/S) of the carotid artery is a non-invasive, cost effective, accepted means of measuring IMT. Traditionally, evaluation of IMT in the carotid has been limited to 2D U/S scans. This method is …

The Association of Subclinical Atherosclerosis with Incident Heart Failure: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
… (HF). Greater carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, is associated with left ventricular myocardial dysfunction, a subclinical marker of HF. We investigated the association of carotid IMT with incident HF among middle-aged whites and blacks, controlling …

Clinical assessment of arterial stiffness
… arterial stiffness than intima media thickness (IMT). Case control studies investigating changes in subjects with PAD and CKD demonstrated a greater increase in arterial stiffness than IMT when compared to healthy controls. An epidemiological study, investigating the effect of antihypertensives …

The association between blood pressure and vascular characteristics in children
… carotid artery (CCA) intima-media thickness (IMT) and distensibility (Dist), as well as systemic pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured in 21 elevated blood pressure (EBP; BP ~ 95th percentile) and 83 normal blood pressure (NBP; BP < 90th percentile) children 11-14 years of age. Both EBP and …

High frequency surface wave radar demonstrator
… seeing a demonstration of the CODAR system at IMT. Their intention was subsequently discussed at several meetings, including a South African Radar Interest Group (SARIG) meeting and one at IMT in order to gauge interest and raise funding. There was both interest (mainly for ocean current …

Novel risk factors for atrial fibrillation in an urban population
… of Paper III. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured in participants of Paper IV. All subjects were without history of AF, myocardial infarction and heart failure at study entry. A score of five ISPs (ceruloplasmin, fibrinogen, haptoglobin, orosomucoid and α1-antitrypsin) were …
