This book is based on firsthand experience gained by the author and her research team during many years of experimental studies, supported by the analysis of abundant literature published between 1970 and 1999. It deals with the comparative assessment of ischemic and reperfusion injuries and their mechanisms in vitally important organs differing in their sensitivity to oxygen deficiency, metabolic activity, and provision with radical- generating and antioxidant system. A distinctive feature of the monograph, compared to previous studies in this field, is that attention is focused on the role of free-radical reactions, their place among other damaging factors (disturbances of energy metabolism, intensification of lipolysis and phospholipolysis, etc), a detailed analysis of mechanisms...

From the introduction: “The purpose of the present book is to bring together in a coherent manner new knowledge gained from research over the past 50 years on the physiology of intraocular pressure, ocular blood flow and the relation of these fundamental parameters to early diagnosis and therapy of vascular diseases of the eye and brain. It will be evident to the reader that the presentation is influenced significantly by the author’s own research. My justification is that by good fortune I have spent many years with superb collaboration helping solve outstanding problems of ocular physiology. This knowledge has increased understanding of the parameters underlying the onset of ischemia and the loss of autoregulation associated with common ocular disease and thereby led to new methods of...

Acetyl-CH is designed to aid in neuron protection and longevity. The primary active ingredient (N-Acetyl L-Carnitine) has been shown to be helpful to prevent damage in brain or peripheral nerve ischemia or decreased blood supply. This implies that it can help make the neuron more resilient to some types of stress. It has also been shown to be effective in some cases of Parkinson's Disease. Galantamine is used because of its positive effects in acetylcholine concentration and has some have noted positive effects in treatment of Parkinson's Disease. Acetyl-CH is also designed to increase levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, an important excitatory neurotransmitter. Most people notice an increase in general energy and focus when taking Acetyl-CH. Recommended dosage is 1-2... Less

A novel electrophysiologi cal cardiac model is introduced in this book. The proposed framework for cardiac modeling considers six key regions that characterize the cardiac electrical activity. This allows the model to solve the forward and inverse electrocardiology problems in near real time. The major drawback of the current cardiac modeling methods is the computational complexity because they model more than 100,000 cells of the heart. This complexity does not allow the current techniques to be used in near real time diagnostics. In contrast to the previous models, the proposed cardiac model is used as a basis for two near real time clinical diagnostic applications. The first is the detection of an ischemic heart. The second is the localization of myocardial infarction. ... Less

AniMed Remission (4 lbs.) by AHC Products Inc.For horses prone to the risk of founder. Contains 6,000 mg magnesium and 14 mg chromium per ounce, along with antioxidants, Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, plus all the essential amino acids.Equine laminitis is a vascular disease associated with areas of ischemia or hemostasis within the laminae. The laminae secure the coffin bone/distal phalanx to the hoof wall. Inflammation associated with delamination interferes with the wall/bone bond. In advanced laminitis, the coffin bone becomes detached from the horny wall and may rotate or sink. In lay terms, this is known as "founder," from the maritime term meaning to sink.Directions For Use: Feed 1 oz. per day per 1,000 lbs. body weight until symptoms subside, then feed 1/2 oz. per day.

ATP plays a central role in the two leading causes of cardiac morbidity and mortality in the western world: ischemia and heart failure. We are in our infancy applying what is known about biology and chemistry of ATP toward developing effective therapies for these diseases. In this volume, the current understanding of the chemistry and biology of ATP specifically in the cardiomyocyte is presented. New insights into ATP have been gleaned using biophysical techniques allowing dynamic measurement of chemical events in the intact beating heart and using new animal models in which cardiac proteins are either over expressed, deleted or harbor specific mutations. This book provides a summary of the basic understanding and includes illustrations of why ATP and the Heart is important to both... Less

Alpha Lipoic Acid METABOLIC ANTIOXIDANT/LIVER PROTECTOR - Also known as thioctic acid, a comprehensive review article describes the essential role of alpha-lipoic acid in the utilization of food and production of energy. Some alpha-lipoic acid is converted by the body to dihydrolipoic acid. These substances function as "Universal antioxidants" that quench free radicals in both lipid and aqueous domains. Alpha-lipoic acid is a potent scavenger of hydroxyl singlet-oxygen and other types of free radicals. Experimental and therapeutic studies point to the benefits of alpha-lipoic acid in diabetes, cataracts, ischemia/reperfus ion injury liver disease and neurodegenerative disease. Alpha lipoic has several potential benefits for diabetics. It enhances glucose uptake in non-insulin- dependent... Less

The book provides an introduction to vascular surgical operations and focuses on how to manage patients. Numerous figures illustrate the particular points in vascular techniques and diagnostic problems in the emergency situation. This is an indispensable guide for all surgeons dealing with vascular emergencies.

Books.

The Modern Trends in Vascular Surgery series of books contain the latest discoveries, techniques, practice and outcomes in vascular surgery. There are approximately 40 to 45 chapters in each book, classified under the following headings: cerebrovascular, ischemia, infrainguinal lesions, aortic aneurysm, thoracic aortic pathology, aorta and its major branches, upper extremity ischemia, venous disorders, hemodialysis access, endovascular technology, non-invasive test and issues in vascular surgery. Each of the chapters contains valuable illustrations, tables and a list of references to guide the reader through the chapter.

Details: Ginseng roots work against the effects of stress and anxiety, combating fatigue. Ginseng can improve digestion, metabolism, appetite, endurance, and as a sexual stimulation for both sexes. Ginseng can improve learning and memory and reduce neuronal death following transient cerebral ischemia. Ginseng has proven efficacious in some diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, motor neuron disease). Store ginseng in a cool and dry place, it can have 2 to 3 years shelf life. Refrigeration of ginseng is another option to keep your ginseng fresh. Recommended Use: There is no certain age limit for ginseng intake. The dosage for young children should be 1/3 to 1/2 percent of the adult dose. Vitamin C may depreciate the value of American ginseng if taken together. It is... Less

First the Bad News, Then the Good News. An honored scientist, who has a fine track-record of being correct, uncovers the first powerful evidence that xray procedures are a MAJOR cause, for men and women, of Cancer AND of Ischemic Heart Disease (also called Coronary Heart Disease, Coronary Artery Disease, and Myocardial Ischemia). These two discoveries (not previously published elsewhere) point to a safe and painless way to achieve big reductions in mortality from both diseases --- because the undeniable benefits of xray procedures can be obtained, demonstrably, at much lower levels of xray dosage. Exposure to xrays, including fluoroscopy and CT scans, is a well- established cause of structural chromosomal aberrations and other mutations, even at very low doses and... Less

How is the heartbeat generated? What controls the strength of contraction of heart muscle? What are the links between cardiac structure and function? How does our understanding of skeletal and smooth muscle and non-muscle cells influence our thinking about force development in the heart? Are there important species differences in how contraction is regulated in the heart? How do the new molecular data fit together in understanding the heart beat? What goes wrong in ischemia, hypertrophy, and heart failure? This book paints a modern `portrait' of how the heart works and in this picture the author shows a close-up of the structural, biochemical, and physiological links between excitation and contraction. The author takes the reader through a series of important, interrelated... Less
