Cv Disease

Having in mind the fact that cerebrovascular disease (CVB) takes today in medicine, in spite of diagnostic and therapeutic modernisation, the third place of mortality causes in the world (behind cordial and malignant diseases, but in front of depressions), and the second place of invalidity cause (right after trauma) as well as the second place of dementia cause (after Alzheimer disease), it urges primary prophylaxis. Developing countries, but before all countries of East and Middle Europe, where is our country, are highly risked areas where CV disease has trend of incidence and total frequency increase. In the neighbouring Croatia today CV disease is at the first place of mortality causes. In the world today 5 million people annually suffer CV disease, in Europe about 700.000, but frequency of suffering on Balkan is about 5 prom. Age of CV disease effecting unfortunately moved towards young age, and today 49% of effected by CV disease are of 46 to 59 years of age. Early detection and treatment of risk factors (before hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia, stress and physical non-activities) are the first aspect of CV disease prophylaxis. Together with this aspect of primary prophylaxis is early detection of complications of mentioned risk factors on the walls of blood vessels, before all changing in sense of arteriosclerosis, with consequence of disorder of cerebral haemodynamics. With that objective - verification of circulator and total haemodynamic disorders, there is obvious disclose of non-invasive diagnostic methods, and one of them is Transcranial Doppler Sonography(TCD). TCD is method comfortable for patient, reliable and rather precise, dynamic, and can be repeated several times, without side effects and in comparison with others rather cheap.

Cerebral Vasoreactivity

ZusammenfassungBei 29 Patienten (3 Kontrollpersonen, 26 Patienten mit zerebrovaskulärer Erkrankung) wurde prospektiv die Hirn-SPECT mit 99mTC-HMPAO und bei 20 Patienten (3 Kontrollpersonen, 17 Patienten mit ZVK) die transkranielle Dopplersonographie (TCD) vor und nach i. v. Gabe von Azetazolamid durchgeführt. Die Sensitivität der Hirn-SPECT erhöhte sich mit Azetazolamid von 62% auf 77%. Bei Patienten mit reversiblem neurologischem Defizit wurde eine Verbesserung von 50% auf 71 %, bei Patienten mit persistierendem Defizit von 75% auf 83% beobachtet. Die Ergebnisse der Hirn-SPECT und der TCD stimmten in der Beurteilung der zerebro-vaskulären Reservekapazität in 91% der Hemisphären überein. Die Korrelation zwischen den beiden Methoden war statistisch signifikant.

Functional Transcranial Doppler Sonography

A previous study we reported in this journal suggested that left and right handers may differ in their patterns of lateralisation for different language tasks. However, it had too few left handers (N=7) to reach any conclusions. For this update paper, further participants were added to the sample to create separate groups of left (N=31) and right handers (N=43). Two hypotheses were tested: 1) that lateralisation would be weaker at the group level in left than right handers; and 2) that left handers would show weaker covariance in lateralisation between tasks, supporting a two factor model.All participants performed the same protocol as in our previous paper: lateralisation was measured using functional transcranial Doppler sonography during six different language tasks, on two separate testing sessions. The results supported hypothesis 1, with significant differences in laterality between groups for four out of six tasks. For hypothesis 2, structural equation modelling showed that there was stronger evidence for a two factor model in left than right handers; furthermore, examination of the factor loadings suggested that the pattern of laterality across tasks may also differ between handedness groups. These results expand on what is known about the differences in laterality between left and right handers.
