The increased size and enhanced compliance of the aortic bulb—the enlargement of the
ascending aorta—are believed to maintain blood flow in pinnipeds during extended periods …

The enlarged size of the aortic bulb is thought to enhance the ability of marine mammals to
remain underwater for extended periods. However, a convincing link between aortic bulb …

Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is one of the most devastating types of ischaemic stroke and
