Perioperative steroid administration inhibits angiogenic host tissue response to porous polyethylene (medpor®) implants [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2010 Porous polyethylene (Medpor®) is an alloplastic biomaterial, which is commonly used in plastic and reconstructive surgery. In the present study, we analyzed the effect of perioperative steroid administration on the inflammatory and angiogenic host tissue

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The delipid extracorporeal lipoprotein filter from plasma (DELP) treatment can effectively reduce blood lipid, increase blood flow, and improve neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, its effect on vision and retinal microcirculation in stroke patients has never been reported.

Initial results of in vivo non-invasive cancer imaging in the human breast using near-infrared photoacoustics [PDF]
, 2007 Near-infrared photoacoustic images of regions-of-interest in 4 of the 5 cases of patients with symptomatic breasts reveal higher intensity regions which we attribute to vascular distribution associated with cancer.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Cognitive impairment and exercise intolerance are common in dialysis patients. Cerebral perfusion and oxygenation play a major role in both cognitive function and exercise execution; HD session per se aggravates cerebral ischemia in this population. This study aimed to compare cerebral oxygenation and perfusion at rest and in mild
