Cardiovascular and neoplastic diseases are currently the main causes of mortality and morbidity in developed nations.1 These diseases often coexist in the same individual, worsening general condition, complicating therapeutic management and – from a different perspective – raising the issue of possible shared pathophysiological pathways between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. Many of the… View more

Sources of Radiation Exposure Radiation used in medical examinations and tests is the largest man-made source of radiation exposure. The biological effects of the radiation dose received is expressed in milliSievert (mSv), with the effective dose of 1 mSv corresponding to the radiation dose of 50 chest X-rays. An average of 2.4 mSv per head per year comes from natural sources (see Figure 1).1… View more

Chronic critical limb ischaemia (CLI) affects a defined subgroup of patients with systemic atherosclerosis. Often, these patients exhibit additional cardiovascular risk factors and co-morbidities, which complicate their disease pattern and limit treatment modalities. Therefore, CLI is clearly associated with excessive morbidity and mortality rates and leads to a substantial decline in quality of… View more

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most prevalent non-communicable cause of death worldwide.1 The health and economic implications of caring for a growing ageing population with CVD is enormous. Maintaining a “healthy” elderly population that is mobile and independent with a good quality of life is vital. Testosterone is a sex hormone that is predominant in males, being secreted from the testes… View more
