Magnetic resonance quantification of regional blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain, gut, kidneys, and lower extremities in adolescents with a Fontan circulation compared to biventricular controls. [PDF]
: Background: Accumulation of progressive extracardiac disease is nearly universal for patients with single ventricle heart disease palliated to a Fontan circulation; however, etiologies are poorly understood.

Sex Differences in Regional Cerebral Blood Flow
Regional cerebral blood flow was measured by the 133-xenon inhalation method during resting in 38 healthy men and 38 healthy women matched pairwise for age in the range 18-72 years. The results showed 11% higher global flow level in the women in all ages.

Pancreatic regional blood flow links the endocrine and exocrine diseases. [PDF]
An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that disease states of the endocrine or exocrine pancreas aggravate one another, which implies bidirectional blood flow between islets and exocrine cells.

Regional myocardial strain analysis via 2D speckle tracking echocardiography: validation with sonomicrometry and correlation with regional blood flow in the presence of graded coronary stenoses and dobutamine stress. [PDF]
Background Quantitative regional strain analysis by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) may be particularly useful in the assessment of myocardial ischemia and viability, although reliable measurement of regional strain remains challenging ...

Changes in intramuscular blood flow and muscle deoxygenation at different parts of the vastus lateralis during intermittent isometric knee extension in young adult males. [PDF]
Regional differences in oxygen supply–demand balance in active muscles may be related to exercise tolerance. However, the dynamics of oxygen supply–demand balance and its regional differences within active muscles have not been clarified.

Regional Myocardial Blood Flow* [PDF]
A method is described which measures the local effectiveness of the myocardial circulation, expressed as a clearance constant. Uniform clearance constants have been demonstrated in the normal canine and human myocardium. A distinct difference in clearance constants has been demonstrated between the normal canine myocardium and areas of naturally ...

Altered cerebral hemodyamics and cortical thinning in asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. [PDF]
Cortical thinning is a potentially important biomarker, but the pathophysiology in cerebrovascular disease is unknown. We investigated the association between regional cortical blood flow and regional cortical thickness in patients with asymptomatic ...

Determination of regional bone blood flow by means of fluorescent microspheres using an automated sample-processing procedure [PDF]
The determination of regional blood flow utilizing fluorescent microspheres (FMs) is an established method for numerous organs. Recent progress, in particular the automation of sample processing, has further improved this method.
