objective(s) the aim of this study was to investigate the overall effect of cardiac vasoactive factors during coronary occlusion and reperfusion on peripheral vascular tone, using a sequential isolated rabbit heart-ear perfusion model. materials and methods isolated ears were perfused with the effluent of isolated hearts subjected to ischemia (30 min) and reperfusion (180 min, n=6). the compara...

Acute and long-term effects of resistance exercise combined with vascular occlusion on muscular function were investigated. Changes in integrated electromyogram with respect to time (iEMG), vascular resistive index, and plasma lactate concentration were measured in five men either during or after elbow flexion exercises with the proximal end of the arm occluded at 0-100 mmHg. The mean iEMG, pos...

Casts were made of the vascular lumen of 20 successive extremities amputated for gangrene. Half of the patients were diabetic. All nondiabetics had arteriosclerotic vascular disease plus acute occlusion. Only one diabetic had an acute episode. There was no significant difference in age, blood pressure, or digital blood flow between the two groups. Diabetics had somewhat greater occlusion of the...

retinal vein occlusion (rvo) is a common retinal vascular occlusive disorder and is associated with a variety of systemic risk factors. the aim of this study was to investigate whether the underlying diseases were evaluated and managed appropriately by ophthalmologists. we performed a study of 1344 patients with retinal vein occlusion (rvo). patients were evaluated with a questionnaire includin...

Primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a disease producing vascular thrombus with antiphospholipid antibody without association with autoimmune diseases as systemic lupus erythematosus. Retinal vein occlusion is a rare vascular manifestation in primary APS. We describe 2 cases of primary APS presenting with developing blurred vision. Each had central retinal vein occlusion and high titer of...

The purpose of our study was to determine if vascular occlusion produced an additive effect on muscle hypertrophy and strength performance with high strength training loads. Sixteen physically active men were divided into two groups: high-intensity (HI = 6 RM) and moderate-intensity training (MI = 12 RM). An occlusion cuff was attached to the proximal end of the right thigh, so that blood flow ...

OBJECTIVE   The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the AZUR hydrogel-polymer coated platinum coil (hydrocoil) for vascular occlusion in patients with congenital cardiovascular disease (CCVD). DESIGN   Retrospective case review. PATIENTS   Eight patients with CCVD who underwent attempted vascular occlusion procedure with the hydrocoil at the University of Mi...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of three types of resistance training program on girls' physical fitness. 30 girls were divided into 3 groups: plyometric training with vascular occlusion (plo), plyometric training without vascular occlusion (pl) and power-resistance training (pr). training programs were conducted for six weeks. physical fitness tests were conducted befo...

Previously, the pressure changes after arterial and venous occlusion have been used to characterize the longitudinal distribution of pulmonary vascular resistance with respect to vascular compliance using compartmental models. However, the compartments have not been defined anatomically. Using video microscopy of the subpleural microcirculation, we have measured the flow changes in approximatel...
