Reactive oxygen species in peripheral cardiovascular tissues are implicated in the pathogenesis of 2 kidney-1 clip hypertension. We recently identified an imbalance between reactive oxygen species generation and oxidant scavenging in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) of 2 kidney-1 clip in rats. We tested whether enhanced superoxide signaling in RVLM of 2 kidney-1 clip rats contributes to...

Lymphangions, the segments of lymphatic vessels between two adjacent lymphatic valves, actively pump lymph. Acute changes in transmural pressure and lymph flow have profound effects on lymphatic pump function in vitro. Chronic changes in pressure and flow in vivo have also been reported to lead to significant changes in lymphangion function. Because changes in pressure and flow are both cause a...

background: hypertension is fast emerging as a major health problem amongst all school adolescents, particularly in urban areas. regular screening of the students for this is required for preventing the emergence of complications later in life. therefore,the present study was undertaken with the objective to determine the prevalence of hypertension amongst urban school adolescents and its corre...

The rapid and accurate detection of cherry tomatoes is great significance to realizing automatic picking by robots. However, so far, are detected as only one class for picking. Fruits occluded branches or leaves pickable objects, which may cause damage the plant robot end-effector during This study proposed Feature Enhancement Network Block (FENB) based on YOLOv4-Tiny solve above problem. First...

     Colocasia esculenta Linn (CE) is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments such as high blood pressure, rheumatic pain, pulmonary congestion, etc. Hence in present study, the effect of aqueous extract of CE leaves (AECE) was evaluated for antihypertensive and acute diuretic activity in rats. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of carbohydrate, saponins...

to evaluate the relationships between soil inorganic phosphorus p (pi) fractions, the soil p test and plant parameters such as plant p uptake, dry matter yield, tissue p concentra-tion and relative yield, glasshouse experiments and chemical analyses were conducted on 13 calcareous soils from six agricultural and seven adjacent bushland (virgin soil) sites. four rates of p (0, 15, 30, 60 mg/kg s...

The potential application of ultrasonic energy for ablation of atherosclerotic plaques was studied in human atherosclerotic arteries with continuous and pulsed delivery of energy. With a prototype ultrasonic wire probe (n=79 segments), there was gross reduction in vascular lesions as well as microscopic disruption of fibrous and calcified plaques. Normal portions of vessels appeared unaffected ...
