Angiogenesis is a fundamental process in various physiologic and pathologic processes. The ability to visualize and quantify angiogenesis will allow early diagnosis and monitoring for clinical determination of angiogenesis states before, during, and after adjuvant antiangiogenic and therapeutic angiogenesis treatments.

INTRODUCTION Advances in technology have made extensive monitoring of patient physiology the standard of care in intensive care units (ICUs). While many systems exist to compile these data, there has been no systematic multivariate analysis and categorization across patient physiological data. The sheer volume and complexity of these data make pattern recognition or identification of patient st...

background: myocardial infarctions at different locations have been related to different sets of risk factors. this study was designed to examine the association between cardiovascular risk factors and specific coronary artery calcification (cac). methods: the study population comprised 573 postmenopausal women selected from a population-based cohort study. established vascular risk factors wer...

introduction: intensive care unit is one of the most stressful wards for patients and it is estimated that 30 to70 percent of patients experience severe physiologic stress during admission. some of the physiologic responses to stress include increase in metabolic rate with consequent increase in body temperature, increase in cardiac output and contraction power and subsequently increase in bloo...

Endothelin is a potent vasoconstrictor that recent studies show modulates transport in kidney tubules, including that related to acidification. The data support a physiologic role for endothelin in mediating enhanced kidney tubule acidification in response to an acid challenge to systemic acid-base balance status. The data to date do not support an endothelin role in maintaining kidney tubule a...
