3 tips to improve cardiovascular health
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cause 17 million deaths globally every year, making it the leading cause of death around the world. The cardiovascular system—which includes your heart and blood vessels—distributes oxygen through the body and removes waste. Every cell in the body depends on this process to run smoothly. Your cardiovascular system plays a key role in your overall ...

The Vagus Nerve - What is it and why is it so important to our health?
Key points The vagus nerve controls many unconscious processes in the body The vagus neural network interfaces with inflammatory, mood and pain regulation. This can be utilised for its neuromodulatory effect in activating restorative pathways. The vagus nerve has been called the ‘great wandering protector’ of the body, it’s made up of an intricate neural network that ...

A nitric oxide releasing, self assembled peptide amphiphile matrix that mimics native endothelium for coating implantable cardiovascular devices
Abstract Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. Deployment of stents and vascular grafts has been a major therapeutic method for treatment. However, restenosis, incomplete endothelialization, and thrombosis hamper the long term clinical success. As a solution to meet these current challenges, we have developed a native endothelial ECM mimicking ...

Introduction and Detection Methods for Phytochemicals
What Are Phytochemicals? Phytochemicals are natural compounds that have only been discovered so far and are natural food pigments. The human body is unable to produce them and must obtain them from food. Soy isoflavones in soybeans, lycopene in tomatoes, catechins in green tea, carotenoids in carrots, zeaxanthin, polyphenols, etc., are all phytochemicals. Classification and Functions of Common ...

Digital Monitoring Quickly Alerts to Thermal Changes During Surgical Procedures
Hypothermia is the leading prolonged anesthesia side effect in animals. In both dogs and cats, hypothermia, and even hyperthermia, can often happen with any lengthy surgical procedure – dental or general – or in a patient that has comorbid issues. Veterinary-specific multiparameter digital monitors are the key to quickly determining if an anesthetized patient is becoming hypothermic ...
