Objective(s): Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality in the elderly. A common medical procedure for the treatment of CVDs is the replacement of the blocked or narrowed arteries, which is currently the optimal vascular transplant associated with autograft transplantation. In general, the saphenous veins and radial arteries in the mammary gland are considered to be the ...

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition, in which an obstruction of blood flow in veins is found due to the formation of blood clots in the deep veins. An objective diagnosis of DVT is based on ultrasonography examination. However, in poor countries, including Indonesia, many hospitals still do not have the facilities of ultrasonography, less vascular specialists, or D-dimer examination and t...

In order to study the structural changes in the intimal layer of varicose veins, we prospectively collected a total of 23 vein specimens from both the normal proximal thigh long saphenous (LSV) in 3 young trauma patients and from the unstripped proximal LSV near the sapheno-femoral junction and the distal calf blowouts in 10 primary varicose veins patients. Paraffin sections stained with hemato...

PURPOSE To describe the arterial blood supply, capillary bed, and venous drainage of the rat optic nerve head. METHODS Ocular microvascular castings from 6 Wistar rats were prepared by injection of epoxy resin through the common carotid arteries. After polymerization, tissues were digested with 6 M KOH, and the castings washed, dried, and coated for scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS Imm...

Background: Varicose veins and the complications of venous disease are common disorders in humans. Objective: To study the effects of bleomycin as a potential new sclerosing agent and its adverse events in treating varicose veins. Methods: Bleomycin-loaded liposomes 0.1ml was injected in the dorsal ear veins of white New Zealand rabbits. Sodium tetradecyl sulfate was used as a positive cont...

We present a mathematical model for maternal blood flow in a placental circulatory unit (a placentone), describing flow of maternal blood via Darcy's law and steady advective transport of a dissolved nutrient. The method of images and computational integration along streamlines are employed to find flow and solute concentration distributions, which are illustrated for a range of governing syste...

objective(s): several researchers have reported the relationship between infertility in male and varicocele for so many years but the implication of varicocele in female patients is remains elusive. here, we aim to examine the effects of unilateral varicose ovarian vein on antioxidant capacity and oocyte quality of rat ovary after the experimental creation of varicocele in female rats. material...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE SWI is a new MR imaging method that maximizes sensitivity to magnetic susceptibility effects with phase information for visualizing small cerebral veins. The purpose of this study was to report the use of SWI in combination with DSC in examining related RCVD in patients with intracranial DAVFs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients with angiographically confirmed DAVFs wit...

One of the sign for diagnosing diabetic retinopathy is Intraretinal Microvascular Abnormalities (IRMA). IRMA is located in the superficial retina area that adjacent to the non-perfusion area resulting venous beading at least two quadrant in the fundus image. The difficulties in venous beading detection are the characteristics of the objects in retinal blood vessel images were varied. There are ...

BACKGROUND In some prion diseases, misfolded aggregated protease-resistant prion protein (PrPres) is found in brain as amyloid, which can cause cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Small diffusible precursors of PrPres amyloid might flow with brain interstitial fluid (ISF), possibly accounting for the perivascular and intravascular distribution of PrPres amyloid. We previously reported that PrPres amyl...
