D Serum creatinine (Cr), serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum phosphorus (Pi), and serum calcium (Ca) levels. n = 6 per group. E Representative Von Kossa staining and IHC staining of BRCC36 antibody in control and CKD vessels. Scale bar, left two columns: 200 μm; right ...
Peripheral arterial' disease (PAD) in type 1 diabetes can include occlusive changes in leg blood pressure due to atherosclerotic plaques and manifest as a low ankle brachial index (ABI). Alternatively, advanced calcification with non-compressible vessels may manifest as a high ABI. To determine ...
2.The device of claim 1, wherein the sensor of the device detects harmonic frequency, and the device first reads and then the microprocessor custom tunes in the appropriate harmonic frequency to prevent the beginning of blood clot formation, calcification, and/or plaque formation on the blood co...
Calcium phosphate bions (CPB) are biomimetic mineralo-organic nanoparticles which represent a physiological mechanism regulating the function, transport and disposal of calcium and phosphorus in the human body. We hypothesised that CPB may be pathogenic
Under normal conditions, valves and vessels are protected from supersaturated concentrations of serum phosphate and calcium by a number of active inhibitors; these inhibitors protect against abnormal mineral deposits in soft tissues and vessels. Several inhibitors of calcification have been identified, inclu...
Vascular calcification is the abnormal deposition of calcium phosphate complexes in blood vessels, which is regarded as the pathological basis of multiple cardiovascular diseases. The flowing blood exerts a frictional force called shear stress on the vascular wall. Blood vessels have different hydrodynamic...
Multivariate analysis indicated that aortic wall 18F-NaF uptake is associated with diastolic blood pressure. There was no significant correlation between 18F-FDG and 18F-NaF uptake in any of the artery walls. Conclusion: In the present cross-sectional study, inflammation and calcification were not ...
Currently, much of the focus on the primary and secondary prevention of CVD revolves around control of blood pressure [112]. The systolic aspect of hypertension is quite strongly determined by age- and disease-related decreases in arterial compliance [9,111–113]. Therefore, arterial remodeling ...
