In vitro, the Wistar rat tail artery segments were perfused with the Crebs-Henselite solution. Under the conditions of perfusion pressure increasing from 0 to 110 mm Hg with the velocity of 5 mm Hg/min, the "diameter-pressure" curves were obtained. Changes in the vessel diameter during increase of pressure in the vessel were accompanied by vasomotions. For the first time, a regularity of the vasomotion direction changes as determined by an increase or decrease of the vessel diameter was established. The increase of the vessel diameter was accompanied by a sequence of its spike-formed decreases, whereas decrease of the vessel diameter was accompanied by a sequence of its spike-formed increases.

We analyse mathematical models of blood flow in two simple vascular networks in order to identify structural features that lead to the formation of multiple equilibria. Our models are based on existing rules for blood rheology and haematocrit splitting. By performing bifurcation analysis on these simple network flow models, we identify a link between the changing flow direction in key vessels and the existence of multiple equilibria.

Background: Evaluating the size of the pulmonary artery (PA) is key for the echocardiographic assessment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in dogs.
Hypothesis/objectives: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of the main PA (MPA) and right PA (RPA) sizes for the echocardiographic detection of PH in dogs, and to evaluate differences between precapillary and postcapillary PH dogs.
Animals: Four hundred four dogs; 136 controls and 268 with PH.

Background: Organs and tissues need to be vascularized during development. Similarly, vascularization is required to engineer thick tissues. How vessels are formed during organogenesis is not fully understood, and vascularization of engineered tissues remains a significant challenge.

Introduction: In the past decade, flow diverters (FDs) have increasingly been used to treat cerebral aneurysms with unfavorable morphology in which other endovascular techniques fall short of being as effective. In-stent stenosis (ISS) is one of the most puzzling and frequent risks of flow diversion therapy observed on follow-ups. This complication, although mostly placid in its clinical course, can have dire consequences if patients become symptomatic.

Microsurgical reconstruction constitutes a fundamental part of plastic and reconstructive surgery. It demands high dexterity and intricate technical skills. Its steep learning curve benefits from thorough training throughout residency, where using realistic simulation models in the appropriate sequence of complexity progression is essential in ensuring patient safety prior to progressing to a clinical setting.
