Blood clots may hold key to treating dementia
Spontaneous blood clots or debris from arterial disease in the brain (known as cerebral emboli) may hold the key to preventing or treating dementia, say researchers from the University of Manchester in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-04-28)
Aspirin protects patients at high risk of heart attack or stroke
Aspirin (or another antiplatelet drug) protects patients at high risk of serious vascular events, such as heart attack or stroke, and should be considered routinely for all such patients, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-09)
Surprising rate of recurring heart attacks, strokes globally
Despite many medicines and other treatments for patients with vascular disease, a large international study shows these patients have a surprisingly high rate of recurring events such as strokes, heart attacks and hospitalizations as well as mortality. view more (2009-08-31)
Study shows CT angiography can replace digital subtraction angiography
CT angiography (CTA) alone is an effective, noninvasive means to detect peripheral vascular disease. view more (2007-05-07)
Most neuropsychological tests don't tell Alzheimer's disease from vascular dementia
Most of the cognitive tests that have been used to decide whether someone has Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia have not been very helpful when used alone. view more (2009-07-09)
Studies find possible drug targets for improving vascular health
The enzyme nitric oxide synthase plays a role in peripheral vascular disease, a common disease that impairs the mobility of 25 percent of people over the age of 50, according to a Yale study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). view more (2005-08-26)
Hemangioma arteriovenous malformations or how endothelial cells escape apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Hemangiomas included several types of vascular abnormalities. The first classification of vascular abnormalities was proposed in 1982. Since angiography is becoming a common investigation, a better identification of the vascular abnormalities was possible. Hemangiomas are frequent in children and are present in 10 to 12 new born babies.... view more... (1999-09-14)
Mediterranean diet associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease
Eating a Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables and olive oil and includes little red meat, is associated with a lower risk for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-10)
Who is the arch-criminal in the development of hepatopulmonary syndrome?
The hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) develops when an arterial oxygenation deficiency occurs due to intra-pulmonary vascular dilatations that are often associated with severe hepatic disease. HPS occurs in 15-20% of patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing evaluation for orthotopic liver transplantation. view more (2007-12-20)
Early Promise For Dementia Drug (pp 1265, 1283)
Encouraging short-term results of a randomised trial in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the drug galantamine could offer therapeutic benefits to people with Alzheimer's disease with cerebrovascular disease and in those with probable vascular dementia. Vascular dementia-dementia caused by multiple strokes or other cerebrovascular... view more... (2002-04-10)
MEDIA INVITATION: The first European Vascular Genomics Network conference - Media briefing
CAMBRIDGE - On Monday December 13th at 12:00 noon, at the New Hall College in Cambridge (UK), the European Vascular Genomics Network (EVGN) organizes a media briefing in occasion of "The First European Vascular Genomics Network conference". view more (2004-12-01)
Moderate Alcohol Consumption Could Reduce Risk Of Dementia (p 281)
A Dutch study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that light-to-moderate alcohol consumption could reduce the risk of dementia among older people, regardless of the type of alcoholic drink consumed. Light-to-moderate alcohol consumption reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Because vascular disease is associated with... view more... (2002-01-23)
Gender, coupled with diabetes, affects vascular disease development
Diabetes is associated with the development of vascular (blood vessel) disease. As we age, vascular disease becomes more common. view more (2007-08-16)
Vascular and biliary complications after liver transplant can be reliably diagnosed when using CE-US
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US) after a liver transplant is highly accurate in showing vascular as well as biliary complications, according to a recent study. view more (2007-05-07)
High cholesterol in your 40s increases risk of Alzheimer's disease
People with high cholesterol in their early 40s are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than those with low cholesterol. view more (2008-04-16)
Breakthrough in understanding of blood vessel inflammation
Medical scientists at the University of Leicester have announced a breakthrough in their understanding of blood vessel inflammation - a serious condition which underlies health problems like organ failure in sepsis, the ability to recover from burns, and transplant rejection. The team in the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at the University... view more... (2004-01-19)
First Epileptic Seizures In Old Age Suggest High Risk Of Subsequent Stroke (pp 1175, 1184)
UK research in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how an unexplained epileptic seizure among people aged 60 years or over probably indicates a high risk of subsequent stroke. Authors of the study comment that the identification of patients at increased stroke risk has implications for preventative treatment, and that seizures should be... view more... (2004-04-07)
First report of cancer drug Gleevec as new target therapy for pulmonary hypertension
Gleevec (Imatinib) is a representative of the newest generation of cancer drugs. The substance conveys its potent anti-proliferative effect by selectively supressing the tyrosine kinase pathway. view more (2005-09-30)
Contribution of cholesterol transporter to vascular disease
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a transporter of cholesterol, may also contribute to vascular diseases by a previously unidentified mechanism, according to a report published online this week in EMBO reports. view more (2007-10-26)
A new jump start for aging blood vessels
Recent studies show promise for significantly reducing vascular aging by inactivating TNFa, which has been linked to blood vessel dysfunction and cell death. The related report by Csiszar et al., "Vasculoprotective effects of anti-TNFa treatment in aging," appears in the January issue of The American Journal of Pathology. view more (2006-12-28)
