New Journal Article – Cell Proliferation Detected Using [18F]FLT PET/CT as an Early Marker of Abdominal Aortic Aaneurysm

New Journal Article – Cell Proliferation Detected Using [18F]FLT PET/CT as an Early Marker of Abdominal Aortic Aaneurysm

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized dilatation of the abdominal aorta which shows limited symptomology prior to rupture. Once rupture occurs though, the results may be catastrophic leading to intense pain, loss of consciousness, and possibly death. Detection often occurs incidentally or through routine screening, and surgical intervention is generally limited to large

(June 10, 2020) WEBINAR: Aging and the Cardiovascular System; An in vivo and in vitro approach to the pre-clinical assessment of arterial stiffness

Almost one third of deaths world-wide can be attributed to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). More than half of those cases are related to systemic arterial hypertension (SAH). There are several risk factors that contribute to the development of SAH. Type II diabetes causes structural and functional damage to arterial walls, which leads to stiffness

(June 3, 2020) Webinar: The Importance of Oxygenation in Tissue; an in vivo Approach in Animal Models

(June 3, 2020) Webinar: The Importance of Oxygenation in Tissue; an in vivo Approach in Animal Models

The survival of tissues and organs relies on an adequate supply of oxygen. Tissue oxygen tension (ptiO2) provides a direct measurement of the balance between oxygen supply (by the blood) and metabolic oxygen consumption (by the tissue), i.e. a readout of oxygen availability at the cellular level. On Demand

New Journal Article – Circadian clock network desynchrony promotes weight gain and alters glucose homeostasis in mice

New Journal Article – Circadian clock network desynchrony promotes weight gain and alters glucose homeostasis in mice

Circadian Rhythms lead to the coordination of a multitude of physiological, behavioural, and metabolic processes to the natural 24-hour periodicity of the earth’s rotation. In this paper from 2019 published in Molecular Metabolism, researchers demonstrated the important of an overall synchronized circadian clock network to maintain metabolic homeostasis. In mammals, many metabolic processes are

New Journal Article – Ultrasound-Induced Microbubble Cavitation via a Transcanal or Transcranial Approach Facilitates Inner Ear Drug Delivery

New Journal Article – Ultrasound-Induced Microbubble Cavitation via a Transcanal or Transcranial Approach Facilitates Inner Ear Drug Delivery

In a recent paper published in JCI Insight, researchers have demonstrated for the first time the feasibility of applying Ultrasound-induced Microbubble Cavitation via the external auditory canal as a technique to increase the efficiency of drug delivery to the inner ear. Effective treatment of auditory diseases, such as hearing loss and tinnitus, has become

WEBINAR: Utilizing Doppler Flow to Investigate the Hemodynamic Effects of Anti-Cancer Therapies

Recent advances in targeted cancer therapies has led to the development of a number of novel approaches that have demonstrated some clinical advantages in terms of prolonging overall survival and progression free survival. One of these approaches involves inhibiting angiogenesis (the growth of blood vessels from a pre-existing vasculature), using therapies that
