Bioheat transfer

The cardiovascular system is the key system by which heat is distributed throughout the body.

Circulatory system

The earliest known writings on the circulatory system are found in the Ebers Papyrus (16th century BCE), an ancient Egyptian medical papyrus containing over 700 prescriptions and remedies, both physical and spiritual.

Luigi Maglione

Cardinal Maglione died a year before the war's end in his native Casoria, from neuritis and circulatory ailments.

Mean circulatory filling pressure

In medicine, the mean circulatory filling pressure (Pmcf) is defined as the mean pressure that exists in the vascular system if the cardiac output stops and the pressure within the vascular system redistributes.

Myelomalacia

Another consequence of myelomalacia is improper circulation of blood to the area damaged, resulting in further damage to the spinal cord.

Nike ONE

This kind of drive is intended for use by athletes to train muscles and improve the cardiovascular system using pain-training-style methods.

The 63 Crayons

Charlie Johnston also helped to produce and engineer the second full length release by Athens Georgia based band Circulatory System called "Signal Morning".


John Fernandes

Upon that band's demise, Fernandes went on to form the Athens-based group Circulatory System with other members of Olivia Tremor Control, most notably Will Cullen Hart.

Management of multiple sclerosis

In 2008, vascular surgeon Paolo Zamboni suggested that MS involves a vascular process he referred to as chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI), in which veins from the brain are constricted.

Thomas B. Warren

Mean circulatory filling pressure

It is an indicator of how full the circulatory system is (i.e. the volume of blood in the system compared to the capacity of the system), and is influenced by the volume of circulating blood and the smooth muscle tone in the walls of the venous system (which determines the capacity of the system).
