As you sit and read this article, between four and six litres of blood are flowing around your body. Have you ever thought about what is involved when this flow is stopped somewhere and a blood clot forms? Vascular haemostasis is the delicate balancing act between keeping blood in its fluid state under normal circumstances and forming a blood clot... view more... (2003-03-13)
Readily available treatment could help prevent heart disease in kidney patients
The estimated 19 million Americans living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) face a high risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have shown that a main source of this cardiovascular risk is CKD patients' high levels of blood phosphate. view more (2008-04-18)
The Lancet publishes first clinical trial data of a fully bioabsorbable drug eluting stent
Data published today in The Lancet from ABSORB, the world's first clinical trial of a fully bioabsorbable drug eluting stent for the treatment of coronary artery disease, demonstrated no stent thrombosis, no clinically driven target lesion revascularizations (re-treatment of a diseased lesion), and a low (3.3 percent) rate of major adverse cardiac... view more...

What do blood stem cells need to grow? Blood flow
Blood stem cells literally go with the flow, according to a new report published as an immediate early publication in the journal Cell, a Cell Press journal, on May 13th. view more (2009-05-14)
'Stent-Graft' procedure improves outcomes of carotid aneurysm repair
For patients with life-threatening aneurysms of the carotid artery in the neck, a minimally invasive stent-grafting technique can be just as effective as traditional open surgery, but with faster recovery and fewer complications, according to a study in the March Journal of Vascular Surgery. view more (2006-03-08)
New U of T strategy will boost cord blood stem cells
A team of bioengineers led by the University of Toronto has discovered a way to increase the yield of stem cells from umbilical cord blood, to an extent which could broaden therapeutic use of these cells. view more (2005-10-19)
Fatty spheres loaded with siRNA shrink ovarian cancer tumors in preclinical trial
A molecular "off" switch packaged in a tiny sphere penetrates deeply into ovarian cancer tumor cells, stifling a troublesome protein and drastically reducing the size of tumors. view more (2006-08-15)
Carbon monoxide inhibitor controls traumatic bleeding, Tulane University researchers show
A chemical that blocks carbon monoxide (CO) has been used for the first time to arrest traumatic bleeding in rats, according to a Tulane University research team. view more (2006-04-06)
Scientists Exploring Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis Make Unexpected Discovery That One Day May Lead to New Treatments
What makes joints in people with rheumatoid arthritis, and related conditions like Lyme disease or lupus, so susceptible to attack by the body's immune system, leading to painful flare-ups and deterioration? The answer may surprise you. view more (2006-02-16)
Medical breakthrough for organ transplants and cardiovascular diseases by Flemish researchers
When a blood vessel clogs up, a localized deficiency of oxygen results, causing the surrounding tissue to die. However, working with mice, VIB scientists connected to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven have been able to prevent muscular tissue with severe hypoxia from dying. view more (2008-01-07)
Lungs' pressure needn't threaten heart transplant survival
Heart surgeons at Johns Hopkins say people who need heart transplants can largely avoid transplant failure due to elevated blood pressure in their lungs with the help of proper drug treatment. view more (2007-11-07)
Medication-releasing stent reduces risk of artery re-narrowing following angioplasty
Compared to bare metal stents, placement of stents that release the medication paclitaxel reduces the risk of the artery re-narrowing nine months following angioplasty for patients with complex coronary artery lesions. view more (2005-09-14)
Interior Finish For Vascular Wall
When "repairing" human body, specialists think about the best ways to furnish the inner vascular wall. Their research is funded through the Program of the Russian Academy of Sciences entitled "Abstract Sciences for Medicine", the US Civilian Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) and the Ministry of Education of the Russian... view more...

Bleeding gums linked to heart disease
Bad teeth, bleeding gums and poor dental hygiene can end up causing heart disease, scientists heard today (Thursday 11 September 2008) at the Society for General Microbiology's Autumn meeting being held this week at Trinity College, Dublin. view more (2008-09-11)
New Treatment Boosts Bone Healing and Re-Growth
A drug originally used to treat iron poisoning can significantly boost the body's own ability to heal and re-grow injured bones, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). view more (2008-01-10)
Study reveals new player in sepsis-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome
Every year, more than 200, 000 Americans die from sepsis, a severe illness caused by bacterial infection of the bloodstream. view more (2006-01-24)
Key player identified in cascade that leads to hypertension-related kidney damage
A key player in a cascade that likely begins with stress and leads to high blood pressure and kidney damage has been identified by researchers who say the finding may lead to better ways to control both. view more (2009-11-06)
Novel gene therapy may lead to cure in hemophilia A patients
A discovery by Medical College of Wisconsin and BloodCenter of Wisconsin researchers in Milwaukee may be a key to a permanent genetic cure for hemophilia A patients, including a subset who do not respond to conventional blood transfusions. view more (2006-07-05)
Genetics a key factor in premature infants' devastating eye disease
Genetics play a major role in predisposing infants to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a disease prevalent in premature infants that disrupts normal blood vessel development of the retina and can lead to blindness. view more (2006-11-27)
Missing or mutated 'clock' gene linked to vascular disease
The circadian clocks that set the rhythmic motion of our bodies for wakeful days and sleepy nights can also set us up for vascular disease when broken, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-03-26)
