Abstract:

A basic relationship between stethoscopic auscultation and background noise interference was reviewed and examined in this study. The principle experimental design of the study questioned whether hospital background noise levels are capable of masking the threshold of detection for auscultated heart sounds. Several cited studies monitoring background noise levels in various hospital locations have reported averages exceeding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (1974) and World Health Organization (WHO) (1980) recommendations of "quiet", namely 35 to 40 dBA (Falk & Woods, 1973; Hilto

Its heterogeneous nature ranges from hepatic steatosis through steatohepatitis to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis where the ingestion of significant amounts of alcohol has been excluded. The disease profile of NAFLD and its necro-inflammatory subset Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) were described in the parent study, which provided a clini

L'adénosine est un nucléotide purinergique ubiquitaire qui exerce plusieurs fonctions dans l'organisme, notamment au sein du tissu cardiovasculaire, via ses 4 récepteurs RCPGs: A1, A2a, A2B, A3. Le système adénosinergique est donc particulièrement impliqué dans la pathologie cardiovasculaire et en particulier dans la maladie coronarienne et dans la fibrillation auriculaire.Dans la maladie coronarienne, le rôle du récepteur A2a est crucial puisqu'il participe au contrôle du flux coronaire.

Abstract:

Acute inhalation of airborne pollutants alters cardiovascular function and has been shown to have its greatest affects on individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular disease. Evidence suggests that pollutant-induced activation of airway sensory nerves via the gating of ion channels is critical to these systemic responses. Here, we have investigated the cardiovascular responses evoked by inhalation of AITC (TRPA1 agonist) and capsaicin (TRPV1 agonist) in healthy Sprague Dawley (SD) and Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats, and cardiovascular diseased Spontaneously Hypertensive (SH) rats. Inhalation of the

Abstract:

L’inflammation joue un rôle crucial dans les processus de réparation du muscle cardiaque consécutifs à un infarctus du myocarde (IM). En particulier, les monocytes (MO) et les macrophages (Mf) assument une fonction majeure dans la régulation de la taille d’infarctus et de la fibrose du coeur infarci. Dans un premier travail, nous avons analysé le rôle coordonné de la myeloidepithelial- reproductive protein tyrosine kinase (Mertk) et du milk fat globule epidermal growth factor (Mfge8) dans la propension des MO et des Mf à éliminer les débris cellulaires. Nous avons notamment émis l'hypothèse qu

Abstract:

Imaging guidance may allow minimally invasive alternatives to open surgical exposure and help reduce procedure risk and morbidity. The inherent vascular and soft-tissue contrast of MRI make it an appealing imaging modality to guide cardiovascular interventional procedures. Advances in real-time MRI have made MRI-guided procedures a realistic possibility. The MR environment, however, introduces additional challenges to the development of compatible, conspicuous and safe devices. The overall goal of this work was to enable selected MRI-guided cardiovascular interventional procedures with cle
