UK CARDIOLOGIST IS LEADING A STUDY TO EXPLORE A NEW WAY TO HEAL RESISTANT HYPERTENSION
What does your blood pressure have in common with a garden hose? Quite a lot, in fact.
Increasing the pressure in a garden hose (whether by opening your faucet to full force or by plugging the end of the hose opening) can cause it to become rigid or even burst.
Blood in the arteries functions in much the same way. Consistently high blood pressure -- also called hypertension -- damages the tissues of the artery walls.

Ramakanth Kavuluru, PhD, selected for funding by NLM to improve information extraction from scientific literature
Computational approaches that mine large amounts of free text to extract relational information and support applications such as information retrieval and literature based discovery, have gained popularity recently. Most of these tend to focus on specific areas in biomedicine, for example gene-gene interactions or disease-treatment relations. The only effort that extracts a broad set of relations adhering to a large standardized vocabulary is the rule-based SemRep program being developed by researchers at the National Library of Medicine (NLM).
Dr.
UK’s Collaborative Research Environment
As Vice President for Research, I am frequently asked, “What is it like to be a researcher at UK?” Well, to be honest, I have only known one research environment as a faculty member performing academic research for the past 27 years, and that environment is UK. While this might be construed as making me shortsighted, I believe that one of the primary reasons I have remained at UK throughout my academic career is the collaborative nature of research.
