Abnormal blood pressure patterns may increase risks of complications and death in adults with diabetes

Adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes whose blood pressure increased at night had more than double the risk of dying compared to those whose blood pressure "dipped" during sleep, according to a 21-year study presented today at the American Heart Association's Hypertension Scientific Sessions 2021.

Infections impact blood vessel repair within the meninges following TBI or other cerebrovascular injuries

Viral Infection Slows Blood Vessel Repair After TBI: Seven days after mTBI, the blood vessels (stained in red) in the tissues around the brain are not completely repaired. A marker for intact vessels was used (labeled in green) to distinguish fully functional blood vessels (yellow) from ones that are still damaged (red).McGavern Lab, NINDS
