Assessment of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) Control Policies and Their Implementation in the Proposed FMD-Free Zone in Thailand
A proposed Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) free zone, in the eastern region of Thailand, was evaluated by FMD experts with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) during 2012-2013. The zone, however, did not qualify for an FMD-free zone with vaccination because it did not comply with the …

Mathematical modeling of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in Cattle and Buffaloes using vaccination and culling: A Namibia perspective
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is an acute, infectious viral disease for animals, and it is one of the most rapidly spreading diseases worldwide. Countries worldwide are putting efforts to curb the infection as it has devastating effects on agriculture and wildlife economies. Mathematical models have …

Developing a Technique to Create a Uniform, Targeted, Transient Shear Stress Stimulus to Assess Endothelial Function
… stimulates vasodilation (flow-mediated dilation, FMD). FMD as an index of endothelial function is stimulated by an uncontrolled increase in shear stress created with limb occlusion release [reactive hyperemia (RH)-FMD]. RH-FMD interpretation is complicated because differences in RH-FMD between …

The Impact of Chronic E-Cigarette Use on Flow- Mediated Dilation Elicited by a Sustained Shear Stress Stimulus
… as reactive hyperemia flow-mediated dilation (RH-FMD). Three previous studies have assessed the impact of chronic e-cigarette use on human endothelial function all using RH-FMD, with only one finding a significant impairment between users and controls. Endothelial function can also be tested by …

Test Re-Test Reliability of Brachial Artery Flow-Mediated Dilation in Healthy Adults
… assessment of flow mediated dilation (FMD) is a valuable noninvasive measurement of endothelial function; it has been shown to be a useful prognostic tool for cardiovascular disease risk. However, reproducibility of FMD in the literature varies greatly (Coefficient of Variations (CV) …

Determinants of vascular health in young people
… can be quantified using flow mediated dilation (FMD). The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate childhood associations between endothelial function and a range of modifiable and non-modifiable CV risk factors. We sought to provide novel information regarding relationships between physical …

TARGETING CANCER METABOLISM WITH FASTING-MIMICKING DIET¿BASED LOW-TOXIC COMBINATION THERAPIES: OVERCOMING RESISTANCE THROUGH METABOLIC SYNERGY
… such as fasting and fasting-mimicking diets (FMD), modulate conserved growth pathways (IGF-1/AKT/mTOR, AMPK) and enhance cellular stress resistance, offering a promising approach to cancer therapy. FMD, if combined with treatments like pharmacological doses of ascorbate could effectively …

Investigating the neuroendocrine and hemodynamic responses to physical and psychological stress tasks and their effects on endothelial-dependent flow mediated vasodilation using a sustained stimulus
… social evaluation. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) with reactive hyperemia is impaired following acute stress though less is known regarding the impact of stress and cortisol on FMD with exercise induced increases in shear stress (EX-FMD). The purpose of this study was 1) to compare cortisol …

ULTRASOUND ASSESSMENT OF BRACHIAL ARTERY FLOW-MEDIATED DILATION FOLLOWING ACUTE KOMBUCHA TEA CONSUMPTION IN HEALTHY MEN
… using percent change in flow mediated dilation (FMD%) as an index. Kombucha tea has many claimed health benefits, including the ability to improve endothelial function; although this has not been scientifically investigated. AIM: The primary aim was to compare acute ingestion of black and …

Effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression on Leg Blood Flow and Vascular Function After Spinal Cord Injury
… using the flow-mediated dilation approach (FMD), before and after IPC. <strong>RESULTS: </strong>Resting posterior-tibial artery diameter, BF, FMD% and FMD normalized to shear area-under-curve (FMD%/AUC) were similar between legs at rest. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA (leg x time) …

Does altering brachial artery tone with lower-body negative pressure and flow-mediated dilation affect arterial stiffness?
… Similarly, the impact of flow-mediated dilation (FMD) on brachial artery compliance and distensibility remains unresolved, hi addition, before such measures can be used as prognostic tools, it is important to investigate the reliability and repeatability of both techniques. Using a randomized …

Sero-prevalence and risk factors of foot and mouth disease in Goats in Ngamiland and North East Districts of Botswana
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is an economically and highly contagious viral disease that affects cloven-hoofed domestic and wild animals. Although adult animals generally recover, the morbidity rate is high in naïve populations, and significant pain occurs in other species. A cross sectional study …
