TLDR
The dilatation response occurred despite slight reductions in femoral blood pressure, and was present after ganglionic blockade, blockade of alpha and beta receptors with phenoxybenzamine and propranolol, atropinization and injection of an antihistamine.Abstract:
Diameters of the exposed femoral artery of anesthetized dogs were continuously measured with ultrasonic elements of lead zirconate titanate. In 13 of 16 dogs vascular diameters increased following a sudden increment in arterial blood flow induced by the injection of vasodilating agents (acetylcholine, histamine) peripheral to the recording level, by opening an arteriovenous shunt, or after tetanic stimulation of the sciatic nerve. The dilatation response occurred despite slight reductions in femoral blood pressure, and was present after ganglionic blockade, blockade of alpha and beta receptors with phenoxybenzamine and propranolol, atropinization and injection of an antihistamine. The dilatation response was also observed after transsection of the femoral artery distal to the recording level and is therefore not dependent on the retrograde propagation of nervous or myogenous impulses along the vascular wall.read more

TL;DR: Considering the fact that the flow in the investigated branches varied from 6 to 123.2 mL/min, while blood viscosity was assumed constant, the surprisingly narrow range of shear stress values clearly demonstrates the efficacy of the regulation of coronary lumen size by WSS.

Nitric Oxide Inhalation in ARDS
TL;DR: The acute adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a disorder described by Ashbaugh et al. with a mortality of approximately 60–70%, is characterized by a heterogeneous deterioration of both alveolar ventilation and pulmonary perfusion due to edema and local inflammation.

Myogenic and Flow-Induced Responses in Coronary Arterioles
TL;DR: Both pressure-dependent and flow- induced responses occur in isolated coronary arterioles, but only flow-induced responses require an intact endothelium and these two responses closely interact either competitively or additively, depending on the direction of local vascular pressure changes.

On the local reactions of the arterial wall to changes of internal pressure.
TL;DR: My attention was first directed to these phenomena by the occurrence of curves like that reproduced in Fig. 11, which showed the effect of a fall of arterial pressure produced by exI citing the central end of the depressor nerve on the volume of the hind leg of the rabbit, the sciatic and the nerves accompanying the femoral artery having been cut.
