Comparative Imaging Study in Ultrasound, MRI, CT and DSA using a Multi-Modality Renal Artery Phantom
(2011)Purpose: A range of anatomically-realistic multi-modality renal artery phantoms consisting of vessels with varying degrees of stenosis was developed and evaluated using four imaging techniques currently used to detect renal ... -
Development of a vessel-mimicking material for use in anatomically realistic Doppler flow phantoms
(2011)Polyvinyl alcohol cryogel, (PVA-C) is presented as a vessel mimicking material for use in anatomically realistic Doppler flow phantoms. Three different batches of 10 % wt PVA-C containing (i) PVA-C alone, (ii) PVA C with ... -
Folate/homocysteine phenotypes and MTHFR 677C>T genotypes are associated with serum levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.
(Elsevier, 2009)Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a chemokine that recruits monocytes into the subendothelial cell layer in atherosclerotic lesions. Elevated homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia), which is usually associated ... -
Genetic and nutritional factors contributing to hyperhomocysteinemia in young adults
(American Society of Hematology, 2003)A modestly elevated total plasma homocysteine concentration (tHcy) is generally accepted as an independent and graded risk factor for various pathologies, including vascular diseases, neural tube defects, Alzheimer disease, ... -
Multifunctional specificity of the protein C/activated protein C Gla domain.
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2006)Activated protein C (APC) has potent anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory properties that are mediated in part by its interactions with its cofactor protein S and the endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR). The protein ...
