The report suggests determining the microvascular flow index (MFI), the perfused vessel density (PVD) and the percentage of perfused vessels (PPV). For the MFI a grid is used dividing the screen into four quadrants, and the vessels are scored according to observed flow: 0 = none, 1 = intermittent, 2 = sluggish, 3 = continuous. For the PVD and the PPV, three equidistant horizontal and vertical l...

C erebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are cerebro-vascular disorders with an approximate prevalence of 1 in 200. The CCM pathology is typified by abnormally dilated clusters of blood vessels with defective endothelial cell–cell junctions, sluggish blood flow, and almost always associated with hemosiderin deposition in the surrounding paren-chyma.

The value of land in the balance sheet of French firms correlates positively with their hiring and investment flows. To explore the relationship between these variables, we develop a macroeconomic model with firms that are subject to both credit and labor market frictions. The value of collateral is driven by the forward-looking dynamics of the land price, which reacts endogenously to fundament...
