Does color-flow Doppler-assisted duplex imaging fail to detect ulceration in high-grade internal carotid artery stenosis?
We conclude from our data that color-flow Doppler-assisted duplex imaging is not a reliable or valid means to identify plaque ulceration in high-grade carotid artery lesions.
Taken together, our data demonstrated that calcimimetic R-568 triggers an intrinsic mitochondria-related apoptotic pathway, which is dependent on the CaSR and is modulated by Bcl-xL anti-apoptotic pathway.
