Looking through the eyes of a mouse, scientists monitor circulating cells in its bloodstream
A team of researchers from the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) have developed an optical device that allows them to peer through the eyes of a mouse and monitor the cells passing through its bloodstream. view more (2007-12-04)
Study shows new imaging tracer clarifies cause of chest pain up to 30 hours after pain stops
A national team of researchers, led by a cardiovascular nuclear medicine specialist at the University of Maryland Medical Center, has demonstrated for the first time that an experimental radioactive compound can show images of heart damage up to 30 hours after a brief interruption of blood flow and oxygen. view more (2005-09-27)
Studies shows device-guided paced breathing lowers blood pressure & peripheral resistance
American Society of Hypertension-Booth #2412-May 16, 2006-InterCure, Ltd., today announced new findings demonstrating the mechanism of action of its FDA-cleared hypertension treatment device, RESPeRATE. view more (2006-05-17)
Penn researchers study the use of ultrasound for treatment of cancer
For the first time, ultrasound is being used in animal models - to treat cancer by disrupting tumor blood vessels. view more (2005-11-07)
Reducing side effects of painkillers
Cardiff University researchers have increased the understanding of why some painkillers increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. view more (2006-09-13)
Minimally invasive aortic valve bypass benefits high-risk elderly patients
An uncommonly used surgical procedure that bypasses a narrowed aortic valve, rather than replacing it, effectively restores blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body and gives high-risk patients a safe alternative to conventional valve surgery. view more (2008-09-22)
Modest gain in visceral fat causes dysfunction of blood vessel lining in lean, healthy humans
When lean healthy young adults gained about 9 pounds, the functioning of their blood vessel lining became impaired -- but shedding the weight restored proper functioning, according to a Mayo Clinic research report. view more (2007-11-06)
Standards for measuring narrowing of carotid arteries too aggressive
Standards for the use of ultrasound as a screening tool to measure narrowing of the carotid artery may be too aggressive, resulting in some needless follow-up tests and procedures. view more (2007-06-08)
Weill Cornell Team Discovers How Brain's Own tPA Helps Regulate Blood Flow to Neurons
The human brain contains its own store of a powerful enzyme (and stroke drug) called tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which appears to be a key regulator of blood flow to brain cells, a team at the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City reports. view more (2008-01-18)
Non-invasive MRI technique distinguishes between Alzheimer's and frontotemporal dementia
A non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique called arterial spin labeling is just as accurate as invasive scanning techniques in distinguishing Alzheimer's disease from frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in the brains of elderly people, according to a new study at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC). view more (2005-06-20)
Belgian researchers explore revolutionary approach to angiogenesis
A revolutionary approach to angiogenesis[1] by a team of Belgian researchers could make cancer treatment more effective at killing tumours. view more (2004-09-28)
Scientists Uncover Potential Key to Brain Blood-Flow Disorders
Scientists at the University of Vermont have clarified the cellular process responsible for signaling regional blood flow changes in the brain, thereby uncovering possible causes for such disorders as stroke, migraine, and Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-01-04)
Drug can quickly mobilize an army of cells to repair injury
To speed healing at sites of injury-such as heart muscle after a heart attack or brain tissue after a stroke-doctors would like to be able to hasten the formation of new blood vessels. view more (2006-09-08)
Carotid stenting the new anti-depressant?
Inserting a stent to open a narrowed carotid artery has been found to reduce symptoms of depression that may be associated with carotid stenosis, according to a study in the August issue of Radiology. view more (2006-07-25)
New research explores limits of non-invasive coronary imaging tests
If multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) shows that a patient has plaque build-up in the artery walls, does it also mean that there is actual reduced blood flow in the artery\\\ view more (2006-12-12)
Heart attack in a laboratory dish
NWO researchers at Utrecht University have given heart muscle cells a heart attack in the laboratory. This allowed them to observe clearly the change that takes place in the cell membrane during an attack and how the change sometimes leads to the death of the cell. In a healthy cell, one of the components of the membrane, the phospholipids, are... view more... (2001-05-08)
New CPR promises better results by compressing abdomen, not chest
A biomedical engineer at Purdue University has developed a new method to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation that promises to be more effective than standard CPR because it increases nourishing blood flow through the heart by 25 percent over the current method. view more (2007-09-06)
Hyperviscous fluids: Better treatment for severe blood loss
Intravenous administration of isotonic fluids is the standard emergency treatment in the U.S. for patients with severe blood loss, but UC San Diego bioengineering researchers have reported improved resuscitation with a radically different approach. view more (2008-04-29)
Technology Predicts Outcome of Child Heart Surgery
Georgia Tech and Emory University researchers have developed an innovative new technology that will help pediatric cardiac surgeons design and test a customized surgical procedure before they ever pick up a scalpel. view more (2006-11-29)
Impact of a chemical component of diesel exhaust particles
A new study finds that exposure to a chemical component of diesel exhaust particles can compromise the ability of resistance arteries to regulate blood flow to bone marrow. view more (2007-05-01)
