Small birth size linked to changes in the cardiovascular system that predispose to later disease
Researchers have found the first evidence that smaller size at birth is associated with specific alterations in the functioning of the heart and circulation in children and that these changes differ between boys and girls. view more (2008-07-23)
Natural aorta grafts have few side effects for infection-prone patients
A vascular surgery technique pioneered at UT Southwestern Medical Center, in which veins are removed from the thigh to repair the aorta does not create blood-flow problems and painful side effects in a majority of patients, researchers report. view more (2007-09-11)
Adult stem cell application effective in treatment of peripheric vascular disease
Multipotent adult progenitor stem cells extracted from bone marrow, and known as MAPCs, have proved to be effective in the regeneration of blood vessel tissue and also in muscle tissue when treating peripheric vascular disease. view more (2008-01-25)
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...

Protein target for diabetes drug regulates blood pressure
University of Iowa researchers have identified a molecular pathway in blood vessels that controls blood pressure and vascular function and may help explain why certain drugs for type II diabetes also appear to lower patients' blood pressure. The study is published in the March 5 issue of Cell Metabolism. view more (2008-03-05)
Researchers make case for standardized analysis of cardiac imaging
For accuracy's sake, medical professionals should use the same software for comparing and analyzing diagnostic heart images taken from different time periods and laboratories, a team of researchers has concluded. view more (2008-03-13)
Less-invasive technique has improved outcomes of aortic aneurysm repair
A shift toward a less-invasive endovascular procedure as an alternative to conventional surgery has reduced the risk of death for patients undergoing repair of dangerous abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), reports a study in the March Journal of Vascular Surgery. view more (2006-03-08)
Midlife obesity may be associated with risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease
Individuals who were obese at midlife had an increased risk for dementia later in life compared to individuals of normal weight, according to an article in the October issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2005-10-11)
Limbs saved by menstrual blood stem cells
Cells obtained from menstrual blood, termed 'endometrial regenerative cells' (ERCs) are capable of restoring blood flow in an animal model of advanced peripheral artery disease. view more (2008-08-19)
Healthy blood vessels may prevent fat growth
The cells lining blood vessels are known to be important for maintaining health, but researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine believe these cells may perform an unsuspected task - controlling the development of fat cells. view more (2008-09-22)
Eye conditions linked with obstructive sleep apnea
If a good night's sleep helps the brain and body perform better, it's a good guess that sleep problems can cause more than just fatigue. Numerous studies have shown a connection between sleep disorders and medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and metabolic disorders, including the risk of obesity and diabetes... view more...

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers develop 'off-the-shelf' vascular grafts
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine investigators have engineered artificial blood vessels from muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) and a biodegradable polymer that exhibit extensive remodeling and remain free of blockages when grafted into rats. view more (2007-06-18)
Found: Key 'go between' in heart disease
Medical researchers at UNSW have shed light on a little-known mechanism involved in the thickening of arteries, a process associated with heart disease. view more (2006-03-15)
'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)
The conservation lens
The definition of conservation priorities for biodiversity often focuses only on the numbers of vertebrate animals and seed plants in the northern hemisphere or in the tropics. view more (2007-10-25)
Arteries from distinct regions of the body have unique immune functions
Human arteries play distinct roles in the immune system depending on their anatomical location, researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have discovered. view more (2008-09-04)
Shield against assassin`s poison
Just a trace of ricin on the sharpened tip of an umbrella was enough to kill the Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, after an infamous attack on London`s Waterloo Bridge in 1978. Now a vaccine against this lethal toxin could soon be available - and it may be needed. "A big stash of ricin was found in the caves of Afghanistan," says Ellen Vitetta of... view more...

Hostility plays a part in heart disease
Hostility, competitiveness and a dominant personality are all factors that have been shown slightly to increase the risk of a person's developing heart disease. A summary of such findings and some new results were presented by Dr Martha Whiteman, of the University of Edinburgh today, Thursday 29 March, at The British Psychological Society's... view more...

New Research Shows Rural South Africa Faces Stroke Crisis Similar to Affluent Western Countries
Debilitating strokes are an increasing threat and burden to rural South Africa and the health care services of poor developing countries require urgent adaptation to control the coming epidemic of vascular disease, reveals a new report "Prevalence of Stroke Survivors in Rural South Africa", by Professor Margaret Thorogood from the... view more...
