Book Review: Systemic Pathology: Vol 1 Cardiovascular System, Respiratory System

Cardiovascular System Pathology

PECAM-1 has the distinctive feature of being expressed on several of the major cell types associated with the vascular compartment. This makes it iniquely positioned to mediate multiple and important cell-cell interactions involving platelets, leukocytes and endothelial cells, and may represent a potential target for new therapeutic agents. Morphological and immunohistochemical studies were per...

Pathology of the Cardiovascular System

General considerations: The heart is the first organ to form in the embryo. In mammalians and birds it consists of 4 chambers (2 atria and 2 ventricles). The heart functions to maintain adequate blood flow (cardiac output) with the purpose of delivering oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and the removal of waste metabolic products. The systemic circulation returns non-oxygenated blood to the r...

Book Review: System Forensics, Investigation, and Response

Update: Systemic Diseases and the Cardiovascular System (II). The endocrine system and the heart: a review.

Normal endocrine function is essential for cardiovascular health. Disorders of the endocrine system, consisting of hormone hyperfunction and hypofunction, have multiple effects on the cardiovascular system. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of disorders of the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands, with respect to the impact of endocrine dysfun...

Effects of Benzimidazole derivatives on digestive system and cardiovascular system

One of the goals of medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery is to provide a rationalbasis for the design of new medicinal agents. Organic compounds and their reactions have beenutilized by people since antiquity. Due to the increasing demand for bioactive molecules, organicchemists are increasingly required to synthesize new compounds of biological interest. AsBenzimidazoles are very us...
