Arteriovenous pairing: a determinant of capillary exchange.

نویسنده

چکیده

Venuloarteriolar signaling helps mediate microvascular function and dysfunction. Mediators produced at venular sites of inflammation appear to constrict arterioles and increase capillary permeability. In contrast, venules beneficially dilate arterioles to enhance capillary flow according to metabolic demand. These mechanisms are altered with cardiovascular risk factors, contributing to microvascular complications.

Spinal Intradural Extramedulary Capillary Hemangioma Mimicking Meningioma

Hemangiomas are considered as vascular malformations which are categorized by the type of vascular channel to capillary, cavernous, venous or arteriovenous(1). Their usual locations are soft tissue , cutaneous or subcutaneous tissue and bone especially vertebra(2).However, intradural extramedullary hemangiomas are rare and most of them fall in cavernous type category. Hereby, authors report a w...

Arteriovenous malformations and other vascular malformation syndromes.

Vascular malformations are a disruption of the normal vascular pattern in which it is expected that a capillary network of microscopic vessels lies interposed between high-pressure arteries that deliver blood and thin-walled veins that collect low-pressure blood for return to the heart. In the case of arteriovenous malformations, arteries or arterioles connect directly to the venous collection ...

EFFECTS OF MAGNETIC FIELD ON THE RED CELL ON NUTRITIONAL TRANSPORT IN CAPILLARY-TISSUE EXCHANGE SYSTEM

A mathematical model for nutritional transport in capillary tissues exchange system in thepresence of magnetic field has been studied. In this case, the cell is deformed. Due to concentrationgradients, the dissolved nutrient in substrate diffuses into surrounding tissue. Theanalytical method is based on perturbation technique while the numerical simulation is basedon finite difference scheme. R...

Clinical Significance of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation Reperfusion

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are abnormal connections of the pulmonary artery to the pulmonary vein, which bypass the normal pulmonary capillary bed.1 This leads to a right-to-left shunt the diameter of the feeding vessel. The normal pulmonary capillary bed measures only 8 to 10 mcm in diameter and serves not only to oxygenate blood but also to filter small thrombi and bacteria...

Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome: a report of 2 cases, diagnostic criteria, and management.

Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation syndrome is a rare type of vascular malformation first described in 2003. It is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that has been reported in association with heterozygous mutations in the RASA1 gene, which encodes the protein RASp21. The clinical picture is characterized by multiple small capillary malformations which are associated with e...
