Article Synopsis
- The review examines the relationships between maternal posture and health dynamics during pregnancy, emphasizing how gravity and body position impact physiological and pathophysiological processes.
- A systematic literature search identified 644 relevant studies published between 1991 and 2021, revealing discrepancies and research gaps in understanding these interactions across multiple organ systems, particularly in the circulatory system.
- The authors highlight the need for further research and clinical developments to better understand maternal posture's effects on health, which is essential for improving care during pregnancy and postpartum.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation and expansion is highly complex and multifactorial, and the improvement of animal models is an important step to enhance our understanding of AAA pathophysiology. In this study, we explore our ability to influence aneurysm growth in a topical elastase plus β-Aminopropionitrile (BAPN) mouse model by varying elastase concentration and by altering the cross-linking capability of the tissue. To do so, we assess both chronic and acute effects of elastase concentration using volumetric ultrasound.
