Circulating microparticles from Crohn's disease patients cause endothelial and vascular dysfunctions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Microparticles (MPs) are small vesicles released during cell activation or apoptosis. They are involved in coagulation, inflammation and vascular dysfunction in several diseases.

Journal of Clinical and Translational Science, 2023 OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Greater blood pressure (BP) reactivity and socioeconomic deprivation (e.g., area deprivation index; ADI) are associated with poor vascular health [1-3]. However, it is unclear if ADI is associated with BP reactivity.

Impact of a Proprietary Standardized Olive Fruit Extract (SOFE) on Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index, Visual Analog Scale and C-Reactive Protein Assessments in Subjects with Arterial Stiffness Risk [PDF]
Drugs in R&D, 2016 The chemical components of olive fruit provide a wide range of cardiovascular benefits. Arterial stiffness is an important cardiovascular risk factor and can be assessed using the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI).The objective of this study was to assess the impact of a proprietary standardized olive fruit extract (SOFE) in subjects at risk for ...

The influence of carotid disease on cerebral vascular autoregulation and cerebral vascular reactivity to hypercapnia [PDF]
, 1995 Cerebral vascular reactivity to hypercapnia, assessed using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography of middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity, is used to assess the extent of cerebral blood flow reserve.

Mechanics and composition of middle cerebral arteries from simulated microgravity rats with and without 1-h/d -Gx gravitation [PDF]
, 2014 Background: To elucidate further from the biomechanical aspect whether microgravity-induced cerebral vascular maladaptation might be a contributing factor to postflight orthostatic intolerance and the underlying mechanism accounting for the potential ...

International Journal of Vascular Medicine, 2012 Carotid-to-radial pulse wave velocity (PWVcr) has been proposed to evaluate endothelial function. However, the measurement ofPWVcris not without limitations. A new simple approach could have wide application.Stiffness index(SI) is obtained by analysis of the peripheral pulse wave and gives reproducible information about stiffness of large arteries ...

NT-proBNP levels, atherosclerosis and vascular function in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria: peripheral reactive hyperaemia index but not NT-proBNP is an independent predictor of coronary atherosclerosis [PDF]
Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2011 Intensive multifactorial treatment aimed at cardiovascular (CV) risk factor reduction in type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria can diminish fatal and non-fatal CV. Plasma N-terminal (NT)-proBNP predicts CV mortality in diabetic patients but the utility of P-NT-proBNP in screening for atherosclerosis is unclear.
