Arteries of Lower Limbs01:20

Arteries of Lower Limbs

5.0K
The external iliac artery transitions out of the body cavity, entering the femoral region of the lower leg, and is renamed the femoral artery at the point where it traverses the body wall. This artery is responsible for the distribution of blood to the thigh's deep muscles and the skin's ventral and lateral regions, achieved through several minor branches and the lateral deep femoral artery, which also spawns a lateral circumflex artery. The knee area receives blood from the genicular...

Arteries and Arterioles

Arteries, the vasculature responsible for transporting blood from the heart, possess robust walls capable of enduring the elevated pressures exerted by the heartbeat. Arteries near the heart are especially thick-walled and enriched with elastic fibers across their three tunics, classifying them as elastic or conducting arteries. These arteries, usually with a diameter exceeding 10 mm, are characterized by their ability to dilate in response to the blood pumped from the heart's ventricles...

Social Foundations of Self IV: Self in Digital Communication

212
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

Arteries of the Upper Limbs

The subclavian artery transitions into the axillary artery as it exits the chest and enters the axillary region. This artery is critical for supplying blood to the shoulder area, including the head of the humerus, through the humeral circumflex arteries. As the vessel continues into the upper arm or brachium, it becomes the brachial artery. This artery plays a key role in vascularizing the brachial region and bifurcates at the elbow into several branches. These branches include the deep...

Overview of Systemic Arteries

2.1K
The human body is a complex, well-organized machine, and at the heart of its operations lies the circulatory system. This network of blood vessels, which includes systemic arteries, plays a vital role in maintaining life by transporting nutrients, oxygen, and waste products to and from cells throughout the body.
Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's tissues and returns deoxygenated blood back to the...

Arteries of the Head and Neck

3.7K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Carotid artery calcification (CAC) was found in 6.8% of Lebanese adults on panoramic radiographs. Dentists should be aware of these findings and refer patients for medical evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Carotid artery calcification (CAC) is a marker of atherosclerosis.
  • Panoramic radiography is a common dental imaging technique.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of CAC in a Lebanese population sample.
  • To assess the utility of panoramic radiographs in detecting CAC.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 500 digital panoramic radiographs from Lebanese patients (aged 18-88).
  • Statistical analysis using SPSS version 20.0.
  • Assessment for calcifications in the carotid artery region.

Main Results:

  • CAC was detected in 34 patients (6.8%).
  • Prevalence was higher in females (8.18%) than males (5.02%).
  • Mean age of affected individuals was 60.9 years; a low positive correlation with age was observed (r=0.179).

Conclusions:

  • CAC is detectable on routine dental panoramic radiographs.
  • Dentists can play a role in identifying potential CAC cases.
  • Referral for specialized medical evaluation is recommended for patients with detected CAC.
