A modified venous outflow technique was used to measure ovarian blood flow in the rat. The rate of flow through the right ovary was 0-198+/-0-009 (S.E.M.), 0-476+/-0-076 and 0-958+/-0-162 ml/min in six Day 0 (dioestrous), five Day 16 and six Day 22 pregnant rats respectively. The intravenous administration of 50 i.u. human chorionic gonadotrophin increased ovarian blood flow by 26+/-4, 57+/-19 and 46+/-9% respectively, from 2 to 8 min after the injection. The present ovarian venous outflow results are substantially higher than those previously reported in the rat but agree with values determined with radioactive microspheres.

School of Mechanical Engineering, Shandong University, Jinan 250061, Shandong, China.

Automatic retinal layer segmentation with medical images, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, serves as an important tool for diagnosing ophthalmic diseases. However, it is challenging to achieve accurate segmentation due to low contrast and blood flow noises presented in the images. In addition, the algorithm should be light-weight to be deployed for practical clinical applications.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that spirituality improves patient outcomes, however, this has undergone only limited evaluation in randomized trials. Hypertension is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide.

Objectives: To evaluate whether a spirituality-based intervention, compared to a control group, can reduce blood pressure (BP) and improve endothelial function after 12 weeks in patients with mild or moderate hypertension (HTN).
