by European Society of Cardiology Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain In patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and chronic coronary disease, an invasive strategy does not reduce the five-year risk of death compared to a conservative strategy. That’s the finding of late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session on 29 August at ESC Congress 2022. Previous trials...
RADIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA OAK BROOK, Ill. (July 16, 2020) – COVID-19 is associated with life-threatening blood clots in the arteries of the legs, according to a study published in Radiology. Researchers said COVID-19 patients with symptoms of inadequate blood supply to the lower extremities tend to have larger clots and a significantly higher...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — In regenerative medicine, an ideal treatment for patients whose muscles are damaged from lack of oxygen would be to invigorate them with an injection of their own stem cells. In a new study published in the journal ACS Nano, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign demonstrated that “nanostimulators” – nanoparticles...
by American Heart Association Non-invasive techniques and devices for assessing blood flow and other diagnostic considerations for people with critical limb ischemia are addressed in a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association, published in the Association’s flagship journal Circulation. The statement provides perspective on the strengths and limitations of current imaging techniques, including...
Researchers have performed a careful comparison between locally generated, ischemia-induced, multipotent stem cells (iSCs) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in an effort to determine which cell type has greater central nervous system (CNS) repair capacity. Their results show that the iSC characteristics make them more promising candidates as CNS injury therapeutics. The study...
A new monoclonal antibody reduces ischemia/reperfusion injury in a primate model by binding target molecule without activating it Cells in any organ will die if their blood supply is cut off — such as during a heart attack, stroke, or organ transplant — but restoring circulation can also cause damage. Now a Massachusetts General Hospital...
