Vascular disease is associated with cognitive impairment. White matter hyperintensities (WMHs), as detected by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are associated with cognitive impairment and considered to be a marker of cerebral microvascular abnormality. Ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) are noninvasive methods to assess blockage and stiffness in peripheral...

We present a case of prepapillary vascular loops complicated by a suspected macroaneurysm rupture which was treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB). A 62-year-old woman presented with decreased vision and myodesopsia in her left eye. Her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.6 in the left eye. Fundus examination disclosed an elevated, round, and reddish lesion, retinal hemorrhage at the...

IRSN has carried out a State-of-the-Art-Review of the main experimental programmes related to fuel behaviour under Loss-of-Coolant-Accident (LOCA) conditions conducted from the 70s until now, that has been split in three parts. The second part is devoted to the question of the coolability of blocked regions in a rod bundle after ballooning in a LOCA. The main findings from this part are present...

Topicality: Blockage of hemorrhage due to vascular damage is the leading role clotting cascade hemostasis system. Recently, two types such have become highly relevant. The first them caused by viral endothelium, which leads uncontrolled activation descending second type aquabarotrauma and associated hydrodynamic shock. Both lead development thrombotic-fibrous complications circulatory system fo...

Activation of the vascular endothelium is characterized by increased expression of vascular adhesion molecules and chemokines. This activation occurs early in the progression of several diseases and triggers the recruitment of leukocytes. Inspired by the tropism of leukocytes, we investigated leukocyte-based biomimetic nanoparticles (i.e., leukosomes) as a novel theranostic platform for inflamm...

the vase life of cut flowers and foliage is often shortened by vascular occlusions that constrict vase solution supply. reduction in stem conductivity is typically caused by blockage of cut stem ends and xylem conduits by microbes, physiological plugging, and disruption of water columns in xylem vessels by cavitations and air emboli. cut flower and foliage longevity can be greatly affected by t...

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) blockage rate was audited over a two month period on the Trauma & Orthopaedics ward at our District General Hospital. A 70% (five out of seven) PICC blockage rate was observed. High blockage rates lead to potential treatment complications, delays in delivery of treatment, increase in costs, and reduction in patient satisfaction. The factors contribu...

This paper explores the influence of blockage and free-surface deformation on the hydrodynamic performance of a generic marine cross-flow turbine. Flows through a three-bladed turbine with solidity 0.125 are simulated at field-test blade Reynolds numbers, O(10(5)-10(6)), for three different cross-stream blockages: 12.5, 25 and 50 per cent. Two representations of the free-surface boundary are co...

PURPOSE To assess iris neovascularization by uveal puncture of the mouse eye and determine the role of angiogenic factors during iris neovascularization. METHODS Uveal punctures were performed on BalbC mouse eyes to induce iris angiogenesis. VEGF-blockage was used as an anti-angiogenic treatment, while normoxia- and hypoxia-conditioned media from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells was use...
