1. Segments of cat posterior communicating artery and femoral artery submitted to field electrical stimulation showed frequency-dependent contractile responses which were decreased by tetrodotoxin, bretylium, and reserpine pretreatment. Phentolamine could only reduce the response of femoral artery segments. Superior cervical gangliectomy also decreased the contractions of cerebral cylinders. 2. The tritium released by electrical stimulation from both kinds of vessels preloaded with [3H]noradrenaline appeared reduced in the presence of tetrodotoxin, bretylium, and after reserpine pretreatment. It was also decreased in cerebral segments after superior cervical gangliectomy. 3. These results suggest that the electrical field stimulates the sympathetic nerve endings of these vessels.

Purpose Of Review: This review assesses the outcomes of coronary interventions in patients with liver cirrhosis and coronary artery disease (CAD), focusing on the clinical challenges posed by cirrhosis-related hemodynamic and coagulopathic changes. It highlights essential considerations for managing these patients, who have an increased risk of adverse events during coronary procedures.

Recent Findings: Recent studies have shown that patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing PCI experience significantly higher mortality rates compared to non-cirrhotic patients, particularly in the context of STEMI and NSTEMI.

Emergency bleeding presents significant challenges such as high blood flow and rapid hemorrhaging. However, many existing hemostatic bandages face limitations, including the uncontrolled release of hemostatic agents, insufficient mechanical strength, poor adhesion, and complex manufacturing processes. To address these limitations, we developed a multifunctional hydrogel bandage for emergency hemostasis using a one-pot synthesis method.

Measurement of blood flow during exercise is crucial for understanding physiological responses and performance outcomes. However, traditional methods are often invasive, costly, or require substantial training, limiting widespread research in this area. This study introduces the innovative use of limb-affixed ultrasound probe holders for vascular imaging during exercise to overcome these challenges.

The popliteal artery segment is particularly challenging for endovascular treatment. Stents used for treating popliteal artery lesions are usually associated with an increased risk of stent fracture and re-occlusion. The Supera stent is designed to withstand mechanical stress, with a low risk of fracture.
