A shear-stress responsive nano-container to target critically constricted arteries [PDF]
Atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular diseases are the world's biggest cause of mortality. During the acute case of heart attack, vasodilators are administered to open up the constricted artery and allow blood perfusion to the surrounding tissue.

Atrophic Remodeling of the Artery-Cuffed Artery [PDF]
Abstract —Increased arterial wall tension stimulates growth and remodeling of arteries, but little is known about the effects of decreased wall tension, despite its developmental and pathological significance. Consequently, we cuffed 1 carotid artery in rabbits with a portion of the contralateral artery to off-load ...

The arteries of the brain base in the degu (Octodon degus Molina 1782)
The brain arteries derived from 50 adult degu individuals of both sexes were injected with synthetic latex introduced with a syringe into the left ventricle of the heart under constant pressure. After fixation in 5% formalin and brain preparation, it was

Arterial Stiffness in Hypertension and Function of Large Arteries [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness—typically assessed from non-invasive measurement of pulse wave velocity along a straight portion of the vascular tree between the right common carotid and femoral arteries—is a reliable predictor of cardiovascular risk in patients with essential hypertension.

The Acute Responses of Different-sized Coronary Arteries to Testosterone [PDF]
Coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium. The blood flow within the coronary arteries is altered by various compounds produced within the body. Sex hormones such as testosterone are known to cause the relaxation of large coronary arteries.

Acute Neurological Events in Children With Hemoglobin SC Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurological manifestations in children with hemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease remain insufficiently characterized, particularly regarding acute events. The aim of this study was to describe the spectrum and frequency of acute neurological events in a multicenter cohort of children with HbSC disease.

Late coronary complications after arterial switch operation for transposition of great arteries : clinical and therapeutic implications [PDF]
The arterial switch operation is the procedure of choice for correction of transposition of the great arteries. Although offering excellent long term results, this procedure is burdened by the risk of acute and subacute coronary occlusion.
