  2. 16. Lymphatic Vascular Morphogenesis : From Progenitors to Functional Vessels

    Author : Nina Daubel; Taija Mäkinen; Markus Affolter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lymphatic vasculature; morphogenesis; lymphvasculogenesis; mesentery; lymphatic capillary;

    Abstract : The lymphatic vasculature is an important part of the circulatory system and crucial for normal functioning and maintenance of tissues. Yet, our understanding of the processes underlying lymphatic development and homeostasis are surprisingly limited. READ MORE

  4. 17. Middle ear structure in relation to function : the rat in middle ear research

    Author : Nils Albiin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : rats; Eustachian tube; ear; middle; tympanic membrane; palatal muscles; mucous membrane; blood vessels; mast cells; otitis media; microscopy; electron;

    Abstract : The present study was undertaken to evaluate the rat as a model for middle ear re­search. The rat was chosen primarily because the gross structure of its middle ear shows several similarities to that of man. READ MORE

  5. 18. Regulation of Microvascular Blood Flow : a clinical and experimental study based on laser Doppler perfusion imaging

    Author : Helena Golster; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Local blood flow reflexes in the foot skin of healthy controls and in young diabetic patients with or without nerve dysfunction have been studied using laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI). A neurophysiological follow-up study on nerve dysfunction is presented as a complerhent to the work on blood flow regulation in the young diabetics. READ MORE

  6. 19. Expression profiling of blood vessels in pericyte deficiency and diabetes

    Author : Jenny Norlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The kidney glomerulus is essential for the filtration of waste products from the blood into the urine and in controlling the volume and composition of body fluids. Injury to the glomerulus can lead to altered glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria, thickening of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and accumulation of mesangial cell matrix. READ MORE

  7. 20. Vascular mechanical properties and endothelial function with special reference to pregnancy and hormonal influences

    Author : Jana Brodszki; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gynaecology; andrology; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet; Obstetrics; systemic lupus erythematosus; hormone therapy; preeclampsia; pregnancy; endothelial function; arterial stiffness; vessels; ultrasound; cardiovascular disease;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Early recognition of vascular changes, both structural and functional, may help to identify individuals at risk for CVD. READ MORE
