The Clinical Research Institute of Montreal, inaugurated in April 1967, intro duced a new concept of organization of clinical research in teaching medical centers. Adjacent to the Hotel-Dieu Hospital, a major teaching hospital of the University of Montreal, the "professional" or career clinical investigators were grouped under one roof with common auditorium, seminar rooms, instruments rooms, cold rooms, experimental surgical rooms and illustration department, with administration, accounting division and machine shops at the service of the research workers. Besides its large multidisciplinary team working on various aspects of hyper tension, the Institute includes research teams in the following fields: 1) neuro biology and Parkinson's disease, 2) lipids and atherosclerosis, 3) molecular biology, 4) immunochemistry, 5) pituitary polypeptides and proteins, 6) nutrition and 7) clinical pharmacology of new drugs. Research is financed entirely by grants obtained from accredited agencies, mostly from the Medical Research Council of Canada. These grant monies constitute about 50 % of the entire budget of the Institute while the other half for administration, maintenance and physical facilities is financed through the support of the Ministry of Social Affairs of Quebec.
In some patients, these compounds also exert a mild diuretic action, presumably
by lowering the angiotensin II- stimulated production of aldosterone. TISSUE RENIN ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM (RAS). The major portion (90 to 99 per cent) of ...

Hardbound. This volume is a worthy successor to volume 4 by virtue of its focus on the recent conceptual revolution in fundamental hypertension research. Without neglecting the heritage of earlier achievements, it highlights such brilliant breakthroughs in molecular genetics as the creation of transgenic animals as a source of a new pathogenesis of hypertension.A core of (patho)physiological mechanisms operative in experimental hypertension is provided, including several which act to maintain a normotensive state. The volume provides background and technical information on the use of different models of hypertension in a variety of animal species. A wealth of new information regarding the several different complications observed in genetic and other models of hypertension, as well as new animal models dedicated to these aspects, are also presented. Furthermore, new chapters addressing genotyping and the use of transgenics in hypertension are included.

A detailed and sophisticated book covering the basics of the aorta and its branches. This new book presents the full range of aortic pathology focusing on the most current surgical and non-surgical treatment options. With extensive contributions from nationally recognized experts, this comprehensive text provides clear, in-depth analysis of clinical expertise in the subject. Covers all branches and diseases - including renal, mesenteric, aortic occlusive, and aneurysmal disease - for definitive reference in one volume. Combines pathophysiology and diagnosis with technical instruction on mesenteric revascularization options, treatment of graft infection, treatment of aortic developmental anomalies, and more, allowing surgical care to be tailored to the individual patient. Follows a cohesive, practice-tested approach, with each section authored by authorities from a single distinguished medical center.
