Motion Magnification in Robotic Sonography: Enabling Pulsation-Aware Artery Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used for diagnosing and monitoring arterial diseases, mainly due to the advantages of being non-invasive, radiation-free, and real-time. In order to provide additional information to assist clinicians in diagnosis, the tubular structures are often segmented from US images.

Nanostructured 316L Stainless Steel Stent Surfaces Improve Corrosion Resistance, and Enhance Endothelization and Hemocompatibility

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the impact of nanostructured surface modification on corrosion resistance, HUVEC functions, and platelet interactions of 316L SS for cardiovascular stents. Nanostructured surfaces enhanced HUVEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis‐related gene expression while reducing platelet adhesion and hemolysis.

Use of lipid‐lowering therapies in patients with chronic kidney disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: 2‐year results from Getting to an imprOved Understanding of Low‐Density lipoprotein cholesterol and dyslipidemia management (GOULD)

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1303-1310, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a known risk factor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Per the 2018 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology cholesterol guidelines, high‐risk ASCVD patients with CKD and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) levels ≥ $\ge $ 70 mg/dL should take a high‐intensity ...

Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulations In a Model of a Carotid Bifurcation Under Steady Flow Conditions [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Strokes are still one of the leading causes for death after heart diseases and cancer in all over the world. Most strokes happen because an artery that carries blood uphill from the heart to the head gets clogged. Most of the time, as with heart attacks, the problem is atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, calcified buildup of fatty deposits on ...

Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

Vascular co‐option and vasculogenic mimicry mediate resistance to antiangiogenic strategies

Cancer Reports, Volume 5, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The concept that all the tumors need the formation of new vessels to grow inspired the hypothesis that inhibition of angiogenesis would have led to “cure” cancer. The expectancy that this type of therapy would have avoided the insurgence of resistance was based on the concept that targeting normal vessels, instead of the cancer ...

Carotid artery disease and stroke in patients with peripheral arterial disease. The role of inflammation

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2016
Although during the last decade there have been great advances in our knowledge of the epidemiology and pathophysiology of multi-district atherosclerotic disease, little is known about the association between peripheral arterial disease and carotid ...

Artesunate Inhibits Neointimal Hyperplasia by Promoting IRF4 Associated Macrophage Polarization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that macrophage interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) improved arterial injury‐induced neointimal hyperplasia by promoting of M2 polarization via up‐regulating krüppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4) in rodent and nonhuman primate models. Notably, artesunate is identified as a potent inducer of IRF4 in macrophages, and proposed as a promising ...
