Inter- and intradialytic fluid volume changes and vascular stiffness parameters in patients on hemodialysis. [PDF]
BackgroundWhether fluid overload is associated with vascular stiffness parameters in hemodialysis (HD) patients has not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that interdialytic fluid accumulation increases vascular stiffness parameters, which improves ...

Vascular stiffness in insulin resistance and obesity
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.

Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the NRF2 promoter with vascular stiffness with aging [PDF]
Purpose Pulse wave velocity (PWV), an indicator of vascular stiffness, increases with age and is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Activation of the IKK2/NF-κB pathway in VSMCs inhibits calcified vascular stiffness in CKD [PDF]
IKK2/NF-κB pathway–mediated inflammation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) has been proposed to be an etiologic factor in medial calcification and stiffness.

Vascular aging, the vascular cytoskeleton and aortic stiffness
Vascular aging, aortic stiffness and hypertension are mechanistically interrelated. The perspective presented here will focus mainly on the molecular mechanisms of age-associated increases in the stiffness of the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC).

Predicting the vascular adhesion of deformable drug carriers in narrow capillaries traversed by blood cell [PDF]
In vascular targeted therapies, blood-borne carriers should realize sustained drug release from the luminal side towards the diseased tissue. In this context, such carriers are required to firmly adhere to the vessel walls for a sufficient period of time while resisting force perturbations induced by the blood flow and circulating cells. Here, a hybrid
