Comparison of Carotid Artery Intima-media Thickness and Resistive Index by Ultrasound and Colour Doppler in Pre-hypertensives and Stage One Hypertensives [PDF]
Introduction: Pre-hypertension and stage one hypertension remains major public health problem in both developed and developing countries. It primarily affects elastic arteries, hence common carotid artery Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) and Resistive ...

Microvascular alterations in hypertension and vascular aging [PDF]
Hypertension and aging are characterized by vascular remodelling and stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function declines with age, since aging is associated with senescence of the endothelium due to increased rate of apoptosis and

Close relation of arterial ICC-like cells to the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell [PDF]
This work aimed to establish the lineage of cells similar to the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), the arterial ICC-like (AIL) cells, which have recently been described in resistance arteries, and to study their location in the artery wall.

Mild Hypobaric Hypoxia Enhances Post-exercise Vascular Responses in Young Male Runners
It has been reported that sustained post-exercise vasodilation may be linked to exercise-induced angiogenesis. The present study aimed to evaluate whether mild hypobaric hypoxia enhances the post-exercise reduction in systemic vascular resistance in ...

Riociguat for the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Riociguat, a member of a new class of compounds (soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators), has been shown in previous clinical studies to be beneficial in the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. METHODS: In this phase 3,

The response of tumour vasculature to angiotensin II revealed by its systemic and local administration to 'tissue-isolated' tumours [PDF]
A tissue-isolated preparation of the P22 rat carcinosarcoma was used to investigate the tumour vascular response to angiotensin II (ATII). In particular, the relative importance of systemic and local tumour factors was assessed by comparing tumour ...
