| ARTICLES RELATED TO arteries | | | |  arteries: Encyclopedia II - Aortic dissection - Signs and symptomsAbout 96% of individuals with aortic dissection present with severe pain that had a sudden onset. It may be described as tearing in nature, or stabbing or sharp in character. 17% of individuals will feel the pain migrate as the dissection extends down the aorta. The location of pain is associated with the location of the dissection. Anterior chest pain is associated with dissections involving the ascending aorta, while intrascapular (back) pain is associated with descending aortic dissections. If the pain is pleuritic in nature, it may suggest acute ...

However, these methods focus on detecting only severe narrowing, not the underlying atherosclerosis disease. As demonstrated by human clinical studies, most severe events occur in locations with heavy plaque, yet little or no lumen narrowing present before debilitating events suddenly occur. Plaque rupture can lead to artery lumen occlusion within seconds t ...

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Atherosclerosis - Treatment If atherosclerosis leads to symptoms, the symptoms (such as angina pectoris) can be treated. Medicines are usually the first step in treating cardiovascular diseases, and with improvements, have increasingly become the most effective method over the long term. However, medicines are criticized for their expense, patented control and occasional undesired effects.
Lipoprotein imbalances, upper normal and especially elevated blood sugar, i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, homocysteine, stopping smoking, taking anticoagulants (anti-clott ...

In some subdural bleeds, the arachnoid layer of the meninges is torn, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood both expand in the intracrania ...

Dextro-Transposition of the great arteries - Description.
In a normal heart, oxygen-depleted ("blue") blood is pumped from the right side of the heart, through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs where it is oxygenated. The oxygen-rich ("red") blood then returns to the left heart, via the pulmonary veins, and is pumped through the aorta to the rest of the body, including the heart muscle itself.
With d-TGA, blue blood from the right heart is pumped immediately through the aorta and circulated to the body an ...

Dextro-Transposition of the great arteries - Prenatal d-TGA.
In utero, a baby with d-TGA experiences no symptoms as the lungs will not be used until after birth, and oxygen is provided by the mother via the placenta and umbilical cord; in order for the red blood to bypass the lungs in utero, the fetal heart has two shunts that begin to close when the newborn starts breathing; these are the foramen ovale and the ductus arteriosus. The foramen ovale is a hole in the atrial septum which allows blood from the right a ...

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Atherosclerosis - Symptoms Atherosclerosis typically begins in later childhood, is usually found in most major arteries, yet is asymptomatic and not detected by most diagnostic methods during life. It most commonly becomes seriously symptomatic when interfering with the coronary circulation supplying the heart or cerebral circulation supplying the brain, and is considered the most important underlying cause of strokes, heart attacks, various heart diseases including congestive heart failure and most cardiovascular diseases in general. Atheroma in arm or more often leg arteries and producing decreased blood flow is called ...

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Aortic dissection - Pathophysiology The initiating event in an aortic dissection is a tear in the intimal lining of the aorta. Due to the high pressures in the aorta, blood enters the media at the point of the tear. The force of the blood entering the media causes the tear to extend. It may extend proximally (closer to the heart) or distally (away from the heart) or both. The blood will travel through the media, creating a false lumen (the true lumen is the normal conduit of blood in the aorta). Separating the false lumen from the true lumen is a layer of intimal tis ...

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Blood - Anatomy of blood Blood is composed of several kinds of corpuscles; these formed elements of the blood constitute about 45% of whole blood. The other 55% is blood plasma, a yellowish fluid that is the blood's liquid medium. The normal pH of human arterial blood is approximately 7.40. Blood is about 7% of the human body weight [1], so the average adult has a blood volume of about 5 liters, of which 2.7-3 liters is plasma. The combined surface area of all the erythrocytes in the human anatomy would be roughly 2,000 time ...

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Nitroglycerin - What is detonation? Nitroglycerin and any or all of the diluents mentioned above can certainly deflagrate, or burn. However, the explosive power of nitroglycerin is derived from detonation: a shock propagates through the fuel-rich medium at a supersonic speed. In other words, the initial decomposition sets up a pressure gradient that induces decomposition in contiguous material, creating a fast-moving transition zone, which (due to the nature of the material) can detonate any unstable or explosive material it encounters. This generates a self-sustained cascade ...

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Nanobacterium - May 2004 claims In 2004 a team led by Dr. John Lieske of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota claimed to have discovered nanobacteria in diseased human arteries. Their results were accepted by the American Journal of Physiology - Heart and Circulatory Physiology, Virginia M. Miller et al., in May 2004 after extensive revision.
Unlike the Finnish researchers, those at the Mayo Clinic apparently have no linked commercial interests. Working with particles less than 0.2 micrometres in size, they found indirect evidence that the particles had self-replicated, and ...

Being a third-generation Aquino, his family had been involved with some of the country's political heavyweights (His grandfather served for President Aguinaldo while his father served for Presidents Manuel Quezon and Jose P. Laurel). The youngest municipal mayor at 22, at 27,he became the nation's youngest vice-governor; he became governor of Tarlac in 1961 at age 29, then secretary-general of the Liberal Party in 1966. In 1967 he made history becoming the youngest elected senator in the country' ...

| | | | | arteries: Encyclopedia II - Benigno Aquino Jr. - On the road to Martial Law It was not until the Plaza Miranda bombing however - on August 21, 1971 (12 years to the day before Aquino's own assassination) - that the pattern of direct confrontation, the grand collision, between Marcos and Aquino emerged.
At 9:15 p.m. on that day, at the kick-off rally of the Liberal Party, the LP candidates had formed a line on the makeshift platform and raised their hands as the crowd applauded them. The band played, a fireworks "show" drew all eyes - but then there were two loud explosions that were not part of the fireworks, ...

In medicine, nitroglycerin (sometimes called Glyceryl trinitrate, presumably to avoid alarming people) is used as a heart medication (under the trade names Nitrospan® and Nitrostat®). It is used as a medicine for angina pectoris (ischaemic heart disease) in tablets, ointment, solution for intravenous use, transdermal patches (Transderm Nitro®, Nitro-Dur®), or sprays administered under the tongue (Nitrolingual Pump Spray®) ...

Angiography and later stress testing was begun to either visualize or indirectly detect stenosis. Next came bypass surgery, to plumb transplanted veins, sometimes arteries, around the stenoses and more recently angioplasty, now including stent ...

It extends from the margin of the articular surface of the humerus, and lines the coronoid, radial and olecranon fossæ on that bone; it is reflected over the deep surface of the capsule and forms a pouch between the radial notch, the deep surface of the annular ligament, and the circumference of the head of the radius. Projecting between the radius and ulna into the cavity is a crescentic fold of synovial membrane, suggesting the division of the joint into two; ...
