Vasodilatory shock can quickly progress to irreversible organ failure if blood pressure is not restored. Vasopressors are used when IV fluid resuscitation fails to do this, but not all patients ...

"Prolonged sitting" increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, possibly due to preceding impairments in cutaneous vascular function. In this study, researchers from the University of Tsukuba ...

The ex vivo vasodilatory effects using rat aortic ring specimens of the ethyl acetate and n -butanol fractions, along with the major compounds, lancemaside A and lobetyolin were also evaluated.

In the study, researchers investigated the effects of prolonged sitting on forearm cutaneous vascular function under two conditions simulating real-life environments: constant room temperature and ...

Results showed that patients with a baseline APACHE II scores >30, had a significantly improved 28-day mortality trend in the angiotensin II group vs. the placebo group: 54.2% (n=52) compared to ...
