Ageing and vascular ageing.
There is an age related decline in various physiological processes. Vascular ageing is associated with changes in the mechanical and the structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance. Arterial compliance can be measured by different parameters like pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, and systemic arterial complian...
متن کاملHealthy ageing: ageing safely.
The population of the developed world is steadily ageing. In the European Union, approximately 22% of persons are over 60 years of age and this is projected to increase to more than 27% by the year 2020. This has major implications for health care resources and the productive workforce. Ageing is accompanied by a decline in the physiological reserve of all organ systems, compromising homeostasi...
متن کاملFour Oxygenation and Hemostasis
In order to survive, all cells need a consistent supply of blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove wastes. When the blood supply or perfusion is impaired, ischemia develops and can progress to necrosis, if prolonged. For this reason, perfusion is a critical concept for nurses to understand and incorporate into practice. The purpose of this concept analysis is to help the nurse acqui...
متن کاملThrombosis and Hemostasis
We recently demonstrated that blockade of the platelet adhesion receptor glycoprotein (GP) Ib protects mice from ischemic stroke. Although von Willebrand factor (VWF) is the major ligand for GPIb , GPIb can engage other counterreceptors on endothelial cells, platelets, and leukocytes (eg, Mac-1 or P-selectin) potentially involved in stroke outcome. To further analyze whether VWF is of particula...
