The vascular endothelium lining the inner surface of blood vessels serves as the first interface for circulating blood components to interact with cells of the vascular wall and surrounding extravascular tissues. In addition to regulating blood... more

The circulatory system provides the tissues of the body with oxygen and nutrients for survival allows for the dissemination of inflammatory cells and clears metabolic waste from building up and damaging tissue. Atherosclerotic disease the build-up... more

This e-book will review special features of the cerebral circulation and how they contribute to the physiology of the brain. It describes structural and functional properties of the cerebral circulation that are unique to the brain an organ with... more

Necrotizing enterocolitis is an acute inflammatory necrosis of bowel that primarily afflicts premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit setting. Although patients who develop this disease have high morbidity and mortality rates the... more
