Management of sizeable carotid body tumor: Case report and review of literature
Avicenna Journal of Medicine, 2013 Carotid body tumor is a paraganglioma derived from the neural crest. It arises from the carotid body which acts as a vascular chemoreceptors and is usually located at the carotid bifurcation.

Aging is associated with an earlier arrival of reflected waves without a distal shift in reflection sites [PDF]
, 2016 Background-Despite pronounced increases in central pulse wave velocity (PWV) with aging, reflected wave transit time (RWTT), traditionally defined as the timing of the inflection point (T-INF) in the central pressure waveform, does not appreciably ...

Tasting Arterial Blood: What do the Carotid Chemoreceptors Sense?
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 The carotid bodies are sensory organs that detect the chemical composition of the arterial blood. The carotid body sensory activity increases in response to arterial hypoxemia and the ensuing chemoreflex regulates vital homeostatic functions.

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.In this study, a PVA sacrificial template method is proposed to fabricate microfluidic LM pressure sensors, and LM conductive pathway patterns are designed using FEA. Their study revealed that symmetric patterns and thinner microchannels significantly enhanced the pressure sensitivity of the sensor.

Hepatology Communications, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a hydraulically steerable catheter with a soft tip in vascular procedures. The steering soft tip achieves a minimal diameter of 2.6 mm and supports a 180° bend. Real‐time shape and position tracking, facilitated by segmentation and endpoint detection techniques, improves navigation.
