“…One of the US data points appears to be an outlier. 121 This study measured stenosis using the ECST method, 72 whereas the other papers all used the NASCET method. 93,104,120 There were too few data in the ROC plot for 50-69% stenosis to say whether the points lay on a curve or not ( Figure 14).…”

Non-UK purchasers will have to pay a small fee for post and packing. For European countries the cost is £2 per monograph and for the rest of the world £3 per monograph.You can order HTA monographs from our Despatch Agents:-fax (with credit card or official purchase order) -post (with credit card or official purchase order or cheque) -phone during office hours (credit card only).Additionally the HTA website allows you either to pay securely by credit card or to print out your order and then post or fax it. NHS libraries can subscribe free of charge. Public libraries can subscribe at a very reduced cost of £100 for each volume (normally comprising 30-40 titles). The commercial subscription rate is £300 per volume. Please see our website for details. Subscriptions can only be purchased for the current or forthcoming volume. Contact details are as follows: Payment methods Paying by chequeIf you pay by cheque, the cheque must be in pounds sterling, made payable to Direct Mail Works Ltd and drawn on a bank with a UK address. Paying by credit cardThe following cards are accepted by phone, fax, post or via the website ordering pages: Delta, Eurocard, Mastercard, Solo, Switch and Visa. We advise against sending credit card details in a plain email. Paying by official purchase orderYou can post or fax these, but they must be from public bodies (i.e. NHS or universities) within the UK. We cannot at present accept purchase orders from commercial companies or from outside the UK. How do I get a copy of HTA on CD?Please use the form on the HTA website (www.hta.ac.uk/htacd.htm). Or contact Direct Mail Works (see contact details above) by email, post, fax or phone. HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS,...

“…There is some heterogeneity present in the 0-49% or occluded meta-analyses, especially the US specificity data, according to the VIF. There are four studies contributing to that meta-analysis, and one of them gives a noticeably different estimate to the other three, 121 which may, as discussed above, be an outlier.…”

“…1. According to the classification criteria of carotid and vertebral artery stenosis degree made by North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) [5], three grades are defined: mild (0-29%), medium (30%-69%) and severe (70%-99%). So, the patient's right side vertebral artery beginning part had severe stenosis, which was 10mm long, and the surface of atheromatous plaque was smooth without anabrosis.…”

“…Therefore, early diagnosing and efficient treating are important to reduce the incidence of ischemic stroke. One ideal method to diagnose vertebral artery stenosis is the Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), which can accurately display the lesion location, the length of the narrow and the degree of stenosis [2]- [5].…”

The incidence of stroke would be decreased if the vertebral artery stenosis could be diagnosed early and therapy effectively. Presently, the Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is a new computer-assisted radiographic procedure to diagnose the vertebral artery stenosis, and can provide clinical information for therapy. In this paper, the hemodynamic characteristics of the vertebral artery stenosis are analysed by the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method according to the DSA data from a patient with the vertebral artery stenosis in the affiliated hospital of Inner Mongolia university for nationalities, and the study results show that the proposed scheme can provide theoretical basis for diagnosing and treatment.  Index Terms-stroke, vertebral artery stenosis, digital subtraction angiography, Haemodynamics, computational fluid dynamic Hongmei Peng, Professor, works in Inner Mongolia University for the Nationalities, and is a visiting scholar in the University of Mississippi. The research field is biological fluid dynamics. Dongwei Zhang, Chief physician, works in Affiliated Hospital Neurology of Inner Mongolia University for the Nationalities. Main task is diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular disease. Min Li, Master degree candidate, works in Affiliated Hospital Neurology of Inner Mongolia University for the Nationalities.
