This thesis is intended to contribute to the field of biomechanics of growth and remodeling of arteries. The work focuses particularly on growth and remodeling caused by sustained hypertension, increased blood flow, and ageing. A structure-based constituti ...
We derived and tested a new, simple, and accurate method to estimate the compliance of the entire arterial tree and parts thereof. The method requires the measurements of pressure and flow and is based on fitting the pulse pressure (systolic minus diastoli ...
Progress in photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on the development of: (1) photosensitizers, (2) optical devices among which are lasers and light delivery systems, and (3) clinical procedure. The light delivery systems which are the focus of this article ar ...
Tumor metastases occur through both the cardiovascular and lymphatic circulations. However, the majority of nanoparticle biodistribution studies have been focused on the cardiovascular circulation. In this study, we report the formulation of Cy5-labeled po ...
Stiffening of the aorta with progressing age leads to decrease of aortic compliance and thus to an increase of pulse pressure amplitude. Using a strain energy function (SEF) which takes into account the composition of the arterial wall, we have studied the ...
