Pig specific vascular anatomy allows acute infrarenal aortic occlusion without hind limb ischemia and stepwise occlusion without clinical signs

Perspectives in clinical hemorheology and microcirculation: review of the conference of the German Society for Clinical Microcirculation and Hemorheology 2010.

During the 29th conference of the German Society for Clinical Microcirculation and Hemorheology – held in the Freie Universität Berlin a broad range of different topics of experimental and clinical studies in the field were presented. A special spotlight was dedicated to the Conference President’s (Prof. Dr. J. Plendl, Head of the Department of Veterinary Anatomy) scientific area “Anatomical an...

Marked aortic regurgitation without peripheral vascular signs.

Effect of IL-18 binding protein on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by infrarenal aortic occlusion

PURPOSE Severe local and systemic tissue damage called ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury occurs during the period of reperfusion. Free oxygen radicals and proinflammatory cytokines are responsible for reperfusion injury. IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) is a natural inhibitor of IL-18. The balance between IL-18 and IL-18BP has an important role in the inflammatory setting. The present study aimed...

Comparing the Effects of Plyometric Training with and without Vessel Occlusion on Electromyographic Parameters

Purpose: Doing plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion is an effective practice for rapid increase of muscles strength their hypertrophy. We evaluated the effects of plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion on electromyographic parameters. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 22 females were selected through convenience sampling method. They were random...

The Effect of Eight Weeks Resistance Training With and Without Vascular Occlusion on Physical Fitness Indexes, Growth Hormone, and Insulin-like Growth Factor in Male Judokas

Purpose: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of 8 weeks resistance training with and without vascular occlusion on physical fitness indexes, growth hormone, and Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in male judokas.  Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 20 male judokas were divided into two groups: 1. Traditional resistance training along with judo training with...
