The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...

Consecutive Emergency Carotid Artery Stenting and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in a Patient With Cardiogenic Shock: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Severe aortic stenosis (AS) carries a poor prognosis when symptomatic, particularly in cardiogenic shock (CS). Emergency transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is rarely performed but may represent a rescue therapy. Coexistent carotid artery stenosis (CAS) further increases procedural risk.

Blood Flow Simulation System with Interaction between Blood Flow and Blood Vessel Wall using Image Based Cartesian Grid [PDF]
For the simulation of the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between the blood flow and blood vessel walls, we have examined the voxel-based FSI method. This method uses a Cartesian grid, called voxel, made from medical images. Further, we have tested the

ENDOVASCULAR ANEURYSM REPAIR IN WIDE INFRARENAL NECKS - INCREASED RISK OF COMPLICATIONS?
EVAR has become the predominant repair technique for abdominal aortic aneurysm. Long-term clinical success relies greatly upon a long-lasting proximal seal. EVAR has achieved good outcomes on the short-term in patients with hostile neck features such as

Trainable COSFIRE filters for vessel delineation with application to retinal images [PDF]
Retinal imaging provides a non-invasive opportunity for the diagnosis of several medical pathologies. The automatic segmentation of the vessel tree is an important pre-processing step which facilitates subsequent automatic processes that contribute to ...

This is a time-lapsed sequence of a region of the yolk sac of an embryonic kill-fish that is about 2 days old. Blood vessels are forming, and over the period of several hours (here compressed to a minute or two) you see the first cells to travel through ...

Treatment of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: State of the Art
Introduction: Endovascular aneurysm repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm has been increasingly advocated due to short term benefits. Most observational studies point towards survival advantage for endovascular aneurysm repair over open repair ...
