What is triple vessel disease?

This term is used in cardiology to denote significant blockages in three coronary arteries, often requiring stenting procedures (in order to hold the arteries open) or requiring triple coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.


My Dr found during hysterectomy surgery and commented that I have enlarged uterine arteries what does this mean?

Gynecologists often tell women after exploratory surgery or hysterectomy that the blood supply to their uterus consisted of large veins and arteries. It is not a problem or concern, there is no reason to worry about it.


What is an occluded left vertebral artery?

Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to organs. The vertebral arteries are two major arteries that carry oxygen to the brain and spinal cord. There are two vertebral arteries, one right and one left. They begin in the chest and travel up along the sides of the vertebrae, the bony segments of the spine.An occluded vertebral artery means that there is a blockage in one of these arteries. Blockages can be partial or complete, and are often given on a percent scale (eg, 75% occluded, 80% occluded, etc.). The size of the blockage can help determine the risk of complications. Complications of blockages are varied and depend on the type of blockage being dealt with. For instance, if the blockage is due to a condition called atherosclerosis (where fatty plaques build up in the arteries), then a major complication is plaque rupture, where a piece of the plaque breaks off and lodges in a small blood vessel of the brain. This condition is called atheroembolism and can cause a stroke.If you have recently been diagnosed with an occluded vertebral artery, you should ask your doctor what the implications are. Only she will know how to best gauge your risk factors for potential complications.

Which vessels are called capacitance vessels?

Veins are considered capacitance vessels because they collect 60-70% of the blood in systemic circulation. Small arteries and arterioles are considered resistance vessels because they represent where pressure is more greatly reduced.


What are the uses of Omniscan?

Omniscan is an agent which is used to assist with MR imaging and enables doctors to see the blood vessels. In medical circles it often referred to as Gadodiamide.


What is stray capacitance and how is different from ordinary capacitor?

Any two adjacent conductors can be considered a capacitor, although the capacitance will be small unless the conductors are close together for long. This (often unwanted) effect is termed "stray capacitance". Stray capacitance can allow signals to leak between otherwise isolated circuits (an effect called crosstalk), and it can be a limiting factor for proper functioning of circuits at high frequency. Stray capacitance is often encountered in amplifier circuits in the form of "feedthrough" capacitance that interconnects the input and output nodes (both defined relative to a common ground). It is often convenient for analytical purposes to replace this capacitance with a combination of one input-to-ground capacitance and one output-to-ground capacitance. (The original configuration - including the input-to-output capacitance - is often referred to as a pi-configuration.) Miller's theorem can be used to effect this replacement. Miller's theorem states that, if the gain ratio of two nodes is 1/K, then an impedance of Z connecting the two nodes can be replaced with a Z/(1-k) impedance between the first node and ground and a KZ/(K-1) impedance between the second node and ground. (Since impedance varies inversely with capacitance, the internode capacitance, C, will be seen to have been replaced by a capacitance of KC from input to ground and a capacitance of (K-1)C/K from output to ground.) When the input-to-output gain is very large, the equivalent input-to-ground impedance is very small while the output-to-ground impedance is essentially equal to the original (input-to-output) impedance.

What does an angiologist specializes on?

An angiologist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the blood vessels, specifically arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels. They often focus on conditions such as peripheral artery disease, deep vein thrombosis, and varicose veins.


What is picofarad?

Picofarad is a unit of capacitance in the metric system representing one trillionth (10^-12) of a farad. It is commonly used to measure the small capacitance of electronic components, such as capacitors in integrated circuits.


Why does the concept of stray capacitance came into electronic circuits?

Any two objects that occupy the same universe have capacitance between them. In electronic circuits components are quite close to each other, and this capacitance is often a nuisance, causing cross-talk, instability, and signal losses.
