The length of the two vessels and the pressure difference between the ends were equal. The two vessels were filled with water, and the volume of water flowing through the two vessels per second was measured. The volume of water flowing through vessel 1 was 4.05 ml/sec, and the volume of water flowing through vessel 2 was 4.37 ml/sec. Vessel 1 had a higher resis- tance, and water drained more slowly than from vessel 2. These results demonstrate that vessels with a greater cross- sectional area in the midsection have a lower flow than vessels with a constant cross-section, even though resistance in the midsection is lower when the cross-sectional area is greater.","PeriodicalId":90364,"journal":{"name":"The open circulation & vascular journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68153481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anatomically, it is traditionally divided into the ascending, the aortic arch, the descending, the thoracic and the abdominal aorta. Collagen is one of the most important components of the aortic wall. Its concentration and its total amount play a significant role in the aortas' function and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and stiffness. The two main types of collagen found in the aorta are types I and III and they account for 80-90% of the total collagen. Age, sex hormones, aneurysms and hypertension are factors that can alter collagen and its subtypes in the aorta wall. As the aorta is a crucial artery and collagen is one of its most important components, collagen study is a helpful way to deal with aorta's abnormalities.","PeriodicalId":90364,"journal":{"name":"The open circulation & vascular journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68153455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report the case of a 42 year old normotensive woman who presented with acute lower back pain with unremarkable lumbar x rays, in the setting of acute anemia with hypotension, leading to a high suspicion for internal bleeding. CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed the presence of a ruptured 1.8 cm right renal artery aneurysm. Successful exclusion of the aneurysm was accomplished by stent-assisted coiling.

These abnormalities have been examined mainly in animal models although a few studies have been undertaken in diabetic patients.

They are wounds initiated by pressure on the skin that blocks circulation causing the skin and underlying tissues to die. Without care, pressure ulcers continue to grow in diameter and depth and are exceptionally difficult to heal. They have probably always existed, and are present on Egyptian mummies. Pressure ulcers are a serious health issue, very painful, a significant physiological challenge, can shorten the life of a patient, are an emotional and financial burden to the patient, those who deal with them, and in the United States alone annually costs in excess over $10 billion dollars for care and prolonged hospitalization. Pressure ulcers can develop with as little as two hours of pressure, and because even a brief lapse in avoidance of pressure leads to ulcers, they are frequently impossible to prevent, even for the most conscientious patient with an extensive support group and unlimited financial resources. Therefore, enormous effort is required to find effective and reliable techniques for preventing the initiation of ulcers and eliminating them once they develop. This review looks at the various approaches presently used and in development for the treatment of pressure ulcers, evaluates which may be best in eliminating ulcers, and discusses combinations of techniques that may be most effective in eliminating pressure ulcers.","PeriodicalId":90364,"journal":{"name":"The open circulation & vascular journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68069524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates whether differences exist between basal endothelial functions of saphenous vein (SV) and internal mammary arteries (IMA) and explores the putative involvements of reactive oxygen species in this phenomenon. Basal relaxations were greater in IMA than SV. Specific inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (L-NAME) attenuated dilatory responses while a superoxide anion scavenger (Tiron) displayed a positive effect in both vessel types. MnTBAP, a superoxide dismutase mimetic, improved relaxation in the SV only whereas specific inhibitors of pro-oxidant enzyme NADPH oxidase and cGMP pathway reduced that of the IMA. Rotenone, allopurinol and indomethacin diminished relaxations in the IMA but accentuated SV dilatation. In conclusion, the greater intrinsic antioxidant capacity may explain why IMA make better conduits than SV.","PeriodicalId":90364,"journal":{"name":"The open circulation & vascular journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68069341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple sensing mechanisms are used by endothelial cells to detect changes in mechanical forces, leading to the activation of signaling networks.
