Peripheral Vascular Disease Peripheral Vascular Disease is a condition of the blood vessels that leads to narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply the legs and feet. “It is estimated that peripheral vascular disease affects 30 percent of the adult population‚ and two-thirds of all cases are asymptomatic” (PubMed 1998). This paper will talk about the anatomy and physiology‚ etiology and pathophysiology‚ signs and symptoms‚ diagnostic and laboratory tests‚ and treatments about this disease

The second and third most common forms of dementia in America are Vascular Dementia and Lewy Body Dementia. Primarily‚ we will focus on vascular dementia‚ also refered to as “multi-infarct dementia” or “post-stroke dementia” (http://www.alzheimers.net/resources/types-of-dementia/) affecting around 15% to 20% of all patients with dementia.

Vascular Rings Vascular rings are a very dangerous heart defect in infants. Vascular rings occur in early development of the aortic arch (Vascular Rings). It is a ring that encircles the trachea and esophagus during the development of the aortic arch. When a baby is born‚ their body is supposed to break down the arches to form arteries (Vascular Ring). There are some arches that do not break down and those will form the vascular rings in infants. Vascular rings are less than one percent of all

Xylem and phloem are the conducting elements of vascular plants. They function in the transport of water‚ nutrients‚ sugars‚ proteins and RNA throughout the plant. The xylem and phloem are generally found together in vascular bundles and can lie in various positions relative to each other. (Plant Vascular System Development) The term phloem originates from the Greek word‚ phloios‚ meaning “bark”. (Merriam-Webster) In vascular plants‚ phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients

I passionately believe that everything happens for a reason. I was born with a vascular malformation in my right leg. A vascular malformation is an abnormality in your blood vessels. Throughout my life‚ I have had to undergo countless surgeries and procedures. For a long period of time‚ I constantly asked myself why I got stuck with a vascular malformation. I am here now to explain the answer to the question that never seemed to leave my mind. The year of 2016 was one of the hardest years of my

part of a plant‚ which is a hollow tube with spiral thickening of lignin around the wall giving strength‚ which is continuous throughout the whole plant. The difference between the Xylem cell and other cells is that the Xylem is dead and has no cytoplasm. The Xylem is responsible for transporting water and certain nutrients form root to plant. Phloem carries soluble organic material i.e. food for the plant. The top of the plant is in the light‚ conducting photosynthesis and helping the plant reproduce
