Myocardial Perfusion Defects in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mutation Carriers
Journal of the American Heart Association, EarlyView., 2021 Background Impaired myocardial blood flow (MBF) in the absence of epicardial coronary disease is a feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although most evident in hypertrophied or scarred segments, reduced MBF can occur in apparently normal segments.

An investigation into the relationship between small intestinal fluid secretion and systemic arterial blood pressure in the anesthetized rat [PDF]
, 2015 In the absence of an ability to absorb fluid by cellular uptake mechanisms, fluid movement in vivo from the perfused rat intestine is absorptive when the diastolic blood pressure is normal or very low but is secretory when blood pressure falls below ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work introduces a theragenerative 3D‐printed biodegradable stent with Janus nanoarchitecture for spatially controlled vascular healing. A luminal tantalum ion–implanted surface accelerates endothelialization and hemocompatibility, while an abluminal sirolimus/poly‐L‐lactic acid–tantalum layer provides sustained drug release and suppresses smooth ...

Prescribing competence: The pros and cons of different methods for assessment
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Evaluating a medical graduate’s competence in rational prescribing is challenging. With the aim to guide and inspire teachers, this narrative review explores different methods that can be used to assess prescribing competence. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and thus a mix of different assessment methods is needed throughout the ...

The novel serine protease PreR-Co promotes endothelium-independent vasorelaxation in rabbit aortic rings [PDF]
, 2003 The effect of a novel enzyme (PreR-Co) that activates renal prorenin was studied on rabbit aortas with and without endothelium. It was tested 1) in the basal tone of nonstimulated or ANG II-sensitized rings or rings precontracted with norepinephrine (NE),
