Abbott is now developing "peripheral" large diameter PLLA stents to target peripheral arterial disease.
Peripheral arterial diameter is generally larger in AAA patients compared with age- and sex-matched control subjects.
but the S w was higher in these cases, 2.6 D and 0.5 D maximum, respectively; a reason for this finding could be the difficulty to determinate the local radius of curvature at each point in the peripheral zone diameter.
Phenotypic plasticity of SMCs is critical for the establishment of a mature vessel, which can function to regulate vascular tone and blood vessel diameter, peripheral resistance, and the distribution of blood flow throughout the developing organism.
Assessment of retinal artery and vein diameters was performed using the semiautomatic VesselMap 1® software (Imedos Systems, Jena, Germany) to quantify vascular changes in one disk diameter peripheral of the optic disk margin between baseline and high altitude (Fig. 1A).
Myelinating SCs provide the myelin ensheathment of all large-diameter peripheral axons.
Constriction was applied to peripheral airways with diameters <0.4 mm, scaled to FRC (above a Horsfield order of 6), by varying means, μ, and coefficients of variation, CV, in the reduction of airway diameters based on a Gaussian distribution.
The SCN9A gene on chromosome 2q24.3 encodes the alpha-subunit of the Nav1.7 voltage-gated sodium channel, which is expressed at high levels in small-diameter peripheral nociceptive neurons.
The correlations between peripheral testosterone concentrations, tubular diameter and Sertoli efficiency were also significant (p < 0.05) and positive.
Extensive adaptations occur in the peripheral circulation, and the diameter of the arteries in the lower extremities decreases after SCI [3, 4].
