Does intravenous Preload of Mesenchymal Stem Cells rescue Erectile Function in a Rat Model of Cavernous Nerve Injury?
Intravenous preload of MSCs before a CN injury may prevent or reduce experimental ED.
Incomplete intracranial collateralization through the COW results in increased flow rates and velocities, and therefore large pressure drops across a carotid artery stenosis. This exerts large disruptive shear stress on the plaque compared with patients with an intact COW. Percent diameter reduction provides an inaccurate assessment of risk for atheroembolic stroke. An assessment of carotid flow rates, flow velocities, and the intracranial collateral circulation may add independent information to refine the estimation of stroke risk in patients with asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis.
