Cerebrovascular diseases comprise a major subspecialty in neurological surgery. Current education curriculums lack the necessary training modalities for teaching the microvascular techniques, to neurosurgery residents. We have included a... more
In a novel assay of angiogenesis in the quail chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), we measured vascular pattern and angiogenic rate after homogeneous exposure of the entire vascular tree to recognized modulators of vessel growth. In comparison... more
An analytical study of microvascular non-Newtonian blood flow is conducted incorporating the electro-osmosis phenomenon. Blood is considered as a Bingham rheological aqueous ionic solution. An externally applied static axial electrical... more
In aged human subjects the cutaneous circulation has shown reduced vasoreactive capacity when stimulated by heat or ischemia, and autonomic dysfunction developing in the elderly was suggested. Should this autonomic dysfunction affect the... more
In a novel assay of angiogenesis in the quail chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), we measured vascular pattern and angiogenic rate after homogeneous exposure of the entire vascular tree to recognized modulators of vessel growth. In comparison... more
Hydroxyurea (HU), or hydroxycarbamide, is used for the treatment of some myeloproliferative and neoplastic diseases, and is currently the only drug approved by the FDA for use in sickle cell disease (SCD). Despite the relative success of... more
Forty-four patients and 13 healthy subjects (112 lower limbs), with a mean age ± SD of 48 ± 8 years, were evaluated by using orthogonal polarization spectral (OPS) imaging. Films of the internal perimaleolar region were analyzed by the... more
ObjectiveBoth spatial variability and temporal variability of skin blood flow are high. Laser speckle contrast imagers (LSCI) allow non-contact, real-time recording of cutaneous blood flow on large skin surfaces. Thereafter, the observer... more
