Replacement of dietary saturated fatty acids by trans fatty acids lowers serum HDL cholesterol and impairs endothelial function in healthy men and women [PDF]
, 2001 We tested whether trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids had different effects on flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD), a risk marker of coronary heart disease (CHD). Consumption of trans fatty acids is related to increased risk of CHD, probably through

A Brachial Artery Pseudoaneurysm Treated with a Bifurcated Y-Shaped Artificial Vessel Graft
Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2022 Brachial artery aneurysms are rare diseases that may be caused by infection or trauma. We report a case of a 71-year-old man who presented with a mass in his right antecubital fossa that increased in size slowly over time.

3D computerized model for measuring strain and displacement of the brachial plexus following placement of reverse shoulder prosthesis [PDF]
, 2008 The aim of the present study was to develop a method for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the brachial plexus to study its morphology and to calculate strain and displacement in relation to changed nerve position.

Development of a novel index to characterise arterial dynamics using ultrasound imaging.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are associated with systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. We previously reported flow mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery as a predictor of AAA growth.

Acute effects of Hibiscus sabdariffa calyces on postprandial blood pressure, vascular function, blood lipids, biomarkers of insulin resistance and inflammation in humans [PDF]
, 2019 The acute impact of Hibiscus sabdariffa calyces (HSC) extract on postprandial vascular function and other cardiometabolic risk factors have not been studied previously. This study investigated the acute impact of HSC extract consumption on blood pressure

Effect Of Mirthful Laughter On Vascular Function [PDF]
, 2010 In contrast to the well-established scientific evidence linking negative emotional states (e.g., depression, anxiety, or anger) to increased risk for cardiovascular disease, much less is known about the association between positive emotional states (e.g.,

Association Between Atherosclerosis in Carotid Artery and Elastic Modulus of Brachial Artery [PDF]
Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2007 Background: Common carotid arterial stiffness can be assessed during carotid arterial ultrasonography, but its association with brachial stiffness, a well-defined cardiovascular risk factor, has not been clarified.
