Logistic regression is the most cost-effective model for medial vascular calcification classification, with a mean ICER of $278 using five low-cost features. Despite similar diagnostic accuracy ...

At ARVO 2025, in Salt Lake City, Utah, Danielle Gauthier talked about her poster on autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease in relation to optic nerve head drusen.

Intravascular imaging can improve outcomes for complex stenting procedures in patients with high-risk calcified coronary artery disease Date: April 16, 2025 Source: The Mount Sinai Hospital ...

Cheng Y, Hiya F, Li J, et al. Calcified drusen prevent the detection of underlying choriocapillaris using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography.

SS-OCTA provides superior imaging of the choriocapillaris, crucial for understanding AMD progression, but faces challenges with drusen-affected areas. Compensation strategies enhance CC flow deficit ...

B-scan ultrasonography may make identifying optic nerve head drusen difficult due to the fact that it is less calcified in children, buried deeper, and the lens absorbs many of the waves. Computed ...

So, there is a reasonable theory as to why K2 might reduce the risk of calcification of the blood vessels, which is highly (but not perfectly) associated with blockages in the arteries to the heart.

Optic disc drusen are acellular calcified deposits buried in the surface of the optic disc, which can cause an elevated appearance of the disc (pseudopapilledema) (3 – 6). The prevalence of optic ...

Severe coronary artery calcification in patients with CKD increases the risk for heart failure, heart valve calcification, and progression to kidney failure.

Eyes with pachydrusen, a specific type of drusen deposit, may develop a less aggressive form of age-related macular degeneration.

Brain calcification can cause movement disorders and cognitive impairment. Researchers at the Arnesen Lab at UiB have now identified a gene that provides new insight into how these calcifications ...
