Age changes the vascular structure and function in the normal population, but it has a different effect on wave reflection and pulse wave transmission Many longitudinal studies have found that arterial stiffness measurement among hypertensive patients, diabetic patients, healthy elderly, and people with high cardiovascular (CV) risk will better evaluate arterial health and predict CV events. European guidance for arterial stiffness measurements described in the European consensus document (2006) [3] , the publication of the international reference standards (2010) [4] and the American Heart Association (AHA) scientific statement on arterial stiffness measurements in the USA (2015) have standardized arterial measurement The question now is which measurement of arterial stiffness is more accurate to precisely predict future CV events. Most of the guidelines designated aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV; carotid-femoral PWV) as the golden standard (especially in the Western society) Townsend's [8] brief review on recommendations and standardization of PWV measurements also justified its clinical and scholarly use.

Stiffening of arteries occurs when the pressure load is transferred from distensible elastic structures to less distensible components in the arterial wall. The causes are multifactorial and complex, involving both…
Ovarian cysts during pregnancy are not uncommon. With increasing use of early antenatal ultrasound, the incidental discovery of adnexal masses during early gestation is a clinically relevant problem that requires…
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze efficacy and safety of decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) in hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage (HBGH). Neurosurgical management of HBGH is still a controversial…
Objective: This article serves to promote the interest of participants involved in management of hematological malignancies in the efficacy of flow cytometry in the immunophenotypic characterization of leukemias and…
A 71 year old male patient was treated conservatively for subarachnoid haemorrhage with septic shock. The subclavian vein cannulation was done after starting mechanical ventilation and a pressure transducer was attached…
Background: Pulmonary valve vegetation with ventricular septal defect needs early surgical intervention.Case presentation: A 21 years old man got admitted in Apollo Hospitals Dhaka, with the complaints of dyspnoea on…
A 30 year old nulligravida female reported to the fertility centre of AHD with the complaints of primary infertility for three and half years and spasmodic dysmenorrhoea. There is also history of progressively…
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disorder of colon. We are presenting a case of ulcerative colitis in a 12 yrs old girl who presented with passage of loose bloody stool, low grade…
