Modelling the effect of vascular status on tumour evolution and outcome after thermal therapy [PDF]
Microscale oxygenation plays a prominent role in tumour progression. Spatiotemporal variability of oxygen distribution in the tumour microenvironment contributes to cellular heterogeneity and to the emergence of normoxic and hypoxic populations.

Vascular stiffness in insulin resistance and obesity [PDF]
Obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes are associated with a substantially increased prevalence of vascular fibrosis and stiffness, with attendant increased risk of cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. Although the underlying mechanisms and mediators of vascular stiffness are not well understood, accumulating evidence supports the role ...

Anxiety increases the blood pressure response during exercise
Aim: The hypothesis that higher levels of anxiety promote greater blood pressure (BP) responses during physical exercise is tested. The hypothesis that metaborreflex response is increased in an anxious individual is tested as well. Methods: There were

METOCLOPRAMIDE AND RENAL VASCULAR RESISTANCE
We have studied the effect of i.v. metoclopramide on renal vascular resistance in nine healthy volunteers. Peak systolic and end-diastolic frequencies were measured using duplex Doppler ultrasound of a renal interlobar artery, before and after the administration of i.v. metoclopramide 10 mg, and the resistance index derived.

Central and peripheral pathogenetic forms of type 2 diabetes: a proof-of-concept study
Hypothesis Previous studies provide evidence that glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) should not be considered as interchangeable alternatives in the diagnosis of the same type 2 diabetes, but as indicators of its different ...

Image-Based Modeling of Blood Flow and Oxygen Transfer in Feto-Placental Capillaries [PDF]
During pregnancy, oxygen diffuses from maternal to fetal blood through villous trees in the placenta. In this paper, we simulate blood flow and oxygen transfer in feto-placental capillaries by converting three-dimensional representations of villous and capillary surfaces, reconstructed from confocal laser scanning microscopy, to finite-element meshes ...

Ornipressin in the treatment of functional renal failure in decompensated liver cirrhosis [PDF]
In 11 patients with decompensated cirrhosis and deteriorating renal function, the effect of the vasoconstrictor substance 8-ornithin vasopressin (ornipressin; POR 8; Sandoz, Basel, Switzerland) on renal function, hemodynamic parameters, and humoral ...
