OBJECTIVE
Since the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a key early mediator of the response to ischemia and giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a polygenic disease leading to severe ischemic complications, in the present study we analysed for first time the implication of two
From this and the previous article, the following points may be offered in summary: When comparing the elderly age group with the general population, the incidence of migraine headaches decreases with age, whereas other etiologies such as glaucoma, temporal arteritis, and cerebrovascular disease may
Three cases of peripapillary choroidal filling defects demonstrated by fluorescein angiography are presented. In two cases the defect was interpreted as an occlusion of a posterior ciliary artery. One of these patients had neovascularization of the iris and ischemia of the upper half of the retina.
Inflammation of the arterial wall in giant cell arteritis induces a series of structural changes, including the formation of new vasa vasorum. To study the regulation of neoangiogenesis in giant cell arteritis, temporal arteries were examined for the extent and localization of microvessel generation
