Blood Vessel News and Research

RSS

Blood Vessels are tubes through which the blood circulates in the body. Blood vessels include a network of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins.

KAIST researchers develop an IV needle that irreversibly softens upon insertion

Intravenous (IV) injection is a method commonly used in patient's treatment worldwide as it induces rapid effects and allows treatment through continuous administration of medication by directly injecting drugs into the blood vessel.

New study provides insights into the safety of novel therapies for pulmonary embolism

A large, modern real-world analysis published today in the Journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (JSCAI), provides vital insights into the safety of novel therapies including ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) that have been developed to address the increased morbidity and mortality of elevated risk pulmonary embolism (PE). Findings were presented today at TCT 2023.

HIF-2α inhibitor belzutifan significantly reduces progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Belzutifan significantly reduced the risk of progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common type of kidney cancer, in patients previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenic therapies compared with everolimus in a phase 3 clinical trial.

Lung chip model offers new insights into how radiation damages the lungs

The lung is one of the tissues most sensitive to radiation in the human body. People exposed to high radiation doses following nuclear incidents develop radiation-induced lung injury (RILI), which affects the function of many cell types in the lung, causing acute and sustained inflammation, and in the longer term, the thickening and scarring of lung tissue known as fibrosis.

Fluctuating blood pressure may be a hidden culprit in dementia risk for seniors

Australian researchers find that fluctuating blood pressure, not just high levels, is associated with an increased risk of dementia and vascular issues in older adults. The study suggests that blood pressure variability could be an early marker for cognitive impairment, opening new avenues for treatment.
