Recent advances on large arteries in hypertension.
The most classic hemodynamic concept explaining the increased mean arterial pressure in hypertension reflects an increased total peripheral resistance dynamically and an increased wall-to-lumen ratio to suppress smaller arteries. However, a more current consideration takes into account not only that steady component but also the pulsatile component of blood pressure, a point that importantly mo...
متن کاملHistomorphometric study of brachiocephalic artery of Japanese quail
Brachiocephalic arteries in quails are large arteries which are arising separately from the aortic arch. The aim of the present study was to determine the histomorphometric aspects of brachiocephalic arteries in the Japanese quail. The different layers of the brachiocephalic artery were studied quantitatively in 10, 20 and 60 days-old Japanese quail; (n = 6) and both sexes. Luminal diameter, th...
متن کاملFurther studies on the kidney of the hook-lipped African rhinoceros, Diceros bicornis.
A healthy, pregnant Diceros bicornis (No. 29455), with histologically normal but relatively large kidneys containing a correspondingly large number of nephrons, died suddenly from an injury. Renal lobation was studied partly from serial transverse cuts across the kidney. The fibromuscular pelvic conduits, which are a craniocaudal bifurcation of the ureter, are associated with prominent longitud...
متن کاملNerve conduits for nerve repair or reconstruction.
Advances in treating peripheral nerve lesions have resulted from research in nerve regeneration and the use biomaterials as well as synthetic materials. When direct tensionless repair of peripheral nerve lesions is not possible, nerve conduits may be used to bridge digital sensory nerve gaps of ≤3 cm. Nerve autograft is the benchmark for larger, longer, mixed, or motor nerve defects. Biologic, ...
متن کاملLymphatic pump-conduit duality: contraction of postnodal lymphatic vessels inhibits passive flow.
Lymphangions, the segments of lymphatic vessels between valves, exhibit structural characteristics in common with both ventricles and arteries. Although once viewed as passive conduits like arteries, it has become well established that lymphangions can actively pump lymph against an axial pressure gradient from low-pressure tissues to the great veins of the neck. A recently reported mathematica...
