The authors concluded that existing vascular engineering technologies enable build vasculatures over the full range of diameters, curvatures, and potentially densities of blood vessels found in living organisms; how to do it technically is a completely different issue and remains an immense outstanding ...
This 36 year-old non-consanguineous male had brown-black plaques with atrophy and frequent ulceration over legs and dorsal feet and tortuous varicose veins around ankles for the past 15 years. Perivenous skin was translucent and hypopigmented. He had multiple and ecchymotic keloids and small ...
13).110 Milroy disease is a congenital lymphedema characterized by the presence of unilateral or bilateral swelling of the legs, the arms, and/or the face, with progressive, irreversible fibrotic changes (mutation in the 5q34-35 region affecting the VEGFR-3 gene111). Meige disease is a ...
The infant's head size and the spontaneous reflexes such as sucking, swallowing, crying, and moving the arms and legs may all seem normal at birth. However, after a few weeks the infant usually becomes irritable and has increased muscle tone and after a few months of life, seizures and ...

is 71 years old and has always taken very good care of herself. Her doctor diagnosed her as having atherosclerosis. He told her that her arteries were hardening and that it makes it difficult for blood to flow through. Her only symptoms were pain in her legs and stiffening of her legs. ...
Poor vascular health can also result in chronic venous insufficiency, where blood pools in the veins, causing swelling, pain, and skin changes in the legs [177]. Moreover, diminished blood circulation caused by vascular disorders can impede the healing process of wounds and heighten the ...
Initially, legs may receive enough blood while at rest so that do not experience any discomfort without activity. However, muscles need more oxygen when exercise, so if the arteries in legs are narrowed to the point that too little blood reaches the muscles, we may feel leg pain when walk....
Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane in supine position with their legs fixed on ECG electrodes. Doppler probe was placed on transverse aortic arch and abdominal aorta to acquire signals after the mice were shaved of their fur. Endothelium dependent vasodilation was measured in aortic ring. Briefly...
