Time-resolved and spectral-resolved optical imaging to study brain hemodynamics in songbirds [PDF]
Contrary to the intense debate about brain oxygen dynamics and its uncoupling in mammals, very little is known in birds. In zebra finches, picosecond optical tomography (POT) with a white laser and a streak camera can measure in vivo oxy-hemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxy-hemoglobin (Hb) concentration changes following physiological stimulation (familiar ...

Is the microvasculature tone increasing with arterial hypertension?
Rationale: An increase in vascular tone is believed to be a major factor leading to arterial hypertension (AH). There are no means for a direct measurement of the vascular tone in clinical practice.

Effects of hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers on blood coagulation. [PDF]
For many decades, Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) have been central in the development of resuscitation agents that might provide oxygen delivery in addition to simple volume expansion.

Hypothesis: ‘Vasocrine’ signalling from perivascular fat - a mechanism linking insulin resistance and vascular disease [PDF]
Adipose tissue expresses cytokines which inhibit insulin signalling pathways in liver and muscle. Obesity also results in impairment of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation to insulin. We propose a vasoregulatory role for local deposits of fat around the

Vascular Contributions to Migraine: Time to Revisit?
Migraine is one of the most prevalent and disabling neurovascular disorders worldwide. However, despite the increase in awareness and research, the understanding of migraine pathophysiology and treatment options remain limited.

Vasoconstriction and hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid artery stenting
Background Common complications of carotid artery stenting (CAS) are cerebral ischemia and hyperperfusion syndrome. To date, only a few cases of late-onset cerebral vasoconstriction occurring several hours after CAS have been reported. However, there are

Renal pericytes: regulators of medullary blood flow [PDF]
Regulation of medullary blood flow (MBF) is essential in maintaining normal kidney function. Blood flow to the medulla is supplied by the descending vasa recta (DVR), which arise from the efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary glomeruli.
