A certificate was presented to Minister Kumbaro, recognising the design and conception of the Vjosa Wild River National Park being in line with the IUCN Category II management classification. It demonstrated real tangible action to secure the integrity of the whole Vjosa-Aoos River in Albania and Greece and new commitments were made to protect this unique and valuable freshwater system, including a pledge by Greek Deputy Environment Minister Georgios Amyras for full protection of Aoos River. Georgios Amyras, Deputy Minister of the Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Energy, IUCN’s Europe and North America Directors, among others.

Regenerative medicine researcher Kristy Red Horse's discoveries may someday help damaged hearts heal better. Her stewardship of her Native American heritage ...

We used that to help us confirm that the coronary arteries came from a vein and the inner lining of the heart. In experiments, we’ve shown that if the growth of coronary vessels from the sinus venosus is interrupted, the vessels from the endocardium expand to fill the gap. What’s also fascinating is that if you look at the individual cells early in the development of the coronaries, you can tell which ones came from the vein and which ones came from the heart lining. To persist in that atmosphere, you need a lot of extra grit. We take the time to describe the biology, and we go through a real effort to make sure we’re correct. The optimum growth of the vessels seems to be important for making sure that the heart muscle itself develops quickly into a tight, compact form, which the heart needs to beat efficiently. In our experiments, though, we saw that they instead originate from two other sources: a vein beside the heart called the sinus venosus and the inner lining of the heart, the endocardium. Till we published it in 2010, the conventional wisdom was that the coronary arteries were made from the cellular covering of the embryonic heart — tissue called the epicardium. That set off the development of new collaterals in the animals. When there’s damage to the coronary vasculature that brings blood to the heart muscle, collateral arteries make new connections in the injured area. The hope is that what she and her colleagues have learned about the growth of those vessels during fetal development could help rescue the heart after a heart attack. She has published groundbreaking studies on the origins of blood vessels in the hearts of mammals.

Heart in the right place: Heart Evangelista is the newest brand ambassador of Philip Stein. In photo are Philip Stein co-founder Will Stein, Lucerne Group ...

“We told ourselves maybe we can do something inspired by the signature watch, but it needs to have more of a modern and sleek touch — that’s how we came up with the Evolution,” he explains. “It’s important for us to maintain the Philip Stein DNA but with a more modern touch and sustainability. We are proud to have her as our ambassador because of how she lives a healthy lifestyle, which is one of Philip Stein’s brand advocacies.” Even the case of the watch can be turned into bold statements of preference and individuality — from rose gold, to steel, and black PVD. Another individual who follows his own muse — just like Heart — is Will Stein, the co-founder of Philip Stein alongside his wife, Rina. The variations of the diamond pave case, the diamond bezel, and the diamond indexes — all fitted with the mother-of-pearl dial — are just some of the features that make the watch truly a head-turner. “What I wear can be an inspiration as to what I will paint; and in turn my painting can inspire what I will wear.” “Heart Evangelista is recognized by many luxury brands globally. She is in the Netflix series Bling Empire one moment, and in another she is in Paris for Fashion Week being called the “perfect muse” by Victoria Beckham for wearing her VB couture. (The watches) are casual, chic and very stylish.” “She is an international fashion icon. She could very well do that in her apartment in the City of Love with streets inundated with the presences of the art greats of yore, light from the Tower flicking through nearby windows.

It's a visual approach to flatten the learning curve for parents of children born with heart defects. <em>A prototype of the pediatric cardiac education ...

In the final phase of Carle Illinois’ engineering-based, innovation-oriented curriculum, fourth-year students research a problem identified during their clinical rotations, propose a solution, and then work with a cross-disciplinary team, including engineering students from The Grainger College of Engineering, to develop a new prototype or process that will potentially change the practice of medicine and improve patient outcomes. Future versions will include anatomical labels, defect descriptions, and arrows to demonstrate how the various defects affect blood flow. Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are structural abnormalities in the heart and are the most common type of birth defect in the US, affecting nearly 40,000 births each year. The images will be customizable to represent defects of different sizes. “We wanted to create something that parents can interact with, painting a realistic and easily understandable picture of their child’s specific problem.” It’s a visual approach to flatten the learning curve for parents of children born with heart defects.

A new wearable heart monitor powered by AI provides accurate and continuous measurements of cardiac performance at all times.

It is soft and stretchable, adheres well to human skin, and it’s the size of a postage stamp, making it ideal for bodies in motion. It sends and receives ultrasound waves, which it uses to generate a constant stream of images of the heart’s structure in real time. Early signs of heart disease are more likely to present themselves as the heart transitions from one state to another. [need to breathe](https://www.freethink.com/health/breath-brain-connection), and this is the bane of the cardiac echocardiogram technician. With every breath a patient takes, their chest expands and contracts, and a technician must scramble to keep the ultrasonic want focused on the patient’s heart. The threemetrics of the heart: The root of most cardiovascular diseases is the heart not pumping enough blood.

Instead, high stress causes the heart attack. The symptoms closely resemble a heart attack. “The bottom of the heart would be squeezing very well while the midpoint and tip of the heart would not be squeezing very well and it would just balloon.”
