MMPs are involved in pathological processes such as hypertension, eclampsia, vascular inflammation, atherosclerosis, coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction, cerebral ischemia and ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial disease, aneurysms, chronic venous disease, etc. MMPs can be used as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for certain ...
Cardiovascular safety liabilities caused 52.3 % of 44 marketed data from 1980 to 2011, and cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death globally, yet only 8.7% of cardiovascular drugs successfully pass clinical trials. ...
People living with frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, are commonly misdiagnosed with psychiatric disorders or Alzheimer’s disease and other causes of dementia, such as Parkinson’s disease and vascular dementia.

Before a patient can get fit with their multi-articulating myoelectric hand, it’s vital that their prosthetist conducts a thorough evaluation and understands the cause of amputation or limb loss. This information helps prosthetists understand what a patient’s needs are so they can determine which prosthetic hand is the best fit for them. With this in mind, we’ll discuss the ...
Now more than ever, there is a need for an “off the shelf,” infectionresistant vascular conduit that can be quickly used by nonspecialized surgeons to treat vascular injury. ...
If you feel numb fingers chronically (night after night) then it might be a sign of disease or trauma. But it can also be a sign that you're sleeping in a bad position. ...
I don’t think this population is comparable to any other group that has been studied before and I believe they are likely older, sicker, and with more severe peripheral vascular disease than any other group that has been studied before. Dr. ...
As part of our ongoing Vascular Innovation Series in conjunction with The Way to My Heart, journalist Kym McNicholas interviewed Alucent Biomedical CEO, Dr. Myles Greenberg. Treatment for vascular blockages is getting a much-needed innovation makeover. Alucent’s first area of focus is one the most debilitating vascular ...

This is a paradoxal disease, as this anticoagulant drug can provoke thrombocytopenia associated with thrombosis in affected patients. ...
Cardio-vascular diseases are the number one killer in the world. As an alternative to common treatment methods the installation of specific-purpose stents into the damaged blood vessel could be used in order to minimise fatal outcomes. ...
