A Kidney-Targeted Nanoparticle to Augment Renal Lymphatic Density Decreases Blood Pressure in Hypertensive Mice

Chronic interstitial inflammation and renal infiltration of activated immune cells play an integral role in hypertension.Lymphatics regulate inflammation through clearance of immune cells and excess interstitial fluid.Previously, we demonstrated increasing renal lymphangiogenesis prevents hypertension in mice.We hypothesized that targeted nanoparti

Vibroacoustography for the assessment of total hip arthroplasty

OBJECTIVES: This paper proposes imaging with 3-dimensional vibroacoustography for postoperatively assessing the uncovered cup area after total hip arthroplasty as a quantitative criterion to evaluate implant fixation.METHODS: A phantom with a bone-like structure covered by a tissue-mimicking material was used to simulate a total hip arthroplasty ca
