Quantifying vasculature: newmeasures applied to arterial trees in the quail chorioallantoic membrane
A wide variety of measures is currently in use in the morphometry of vascular systems. We introduce two additional classes of measures based on erosions and dilations of the image. Each measure has a clear biological interpretation in terms of the measured structures and their function. The measures are illustrated on images of the arterial tree of the quail chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). The ...
متن کاملNerve growth factor (NGF) promotes angiogenesis in the quail chorioallantoic membrane.
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is tightly regulated by growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF). The authors hypothesize that nerve growth factor (NGF), a well known neurotrophin, may play a direct angiogenic role. To test this hypothesis, the authors measured the effects of NGF on the natural vascularization of the ...
متن کاملQuantifying and Comparing Centrality Measures for Network Individuals as Applied to the Enron Corpus
The ever increasing body of social networks creates an opportunity for extensive network analysis and investigations of communications, cliques, and network contributions. In this study, we focus our attention on the Enron email corpus and the corresponding network of employees, attempting to gather information from the email communications. Methods of data reduction on the email corpus were us...
متن کاملCoronary Arterial Vasculature in Humans
The effects of the synthetic 28-amino-acid ct-human atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on the proximal coronary arteries and coronary blood flow were evaluated in 17 patients. Proximal coronary dimension was quantitated by digital angiography, and coronary flow was quantitated with 3F Doppler flow catheters. ANP, when given as a 2.5-,ug/kg bolus in the left ventricle, caused sustained significant...
