Compliant vascular grafts and methods of use

Compliant vascular grafts for implantation in the vasculature are provided. The compliant vascular grafts are designed to expand longitudinally and radially within a blood vessel, such as an artery, and is expected to be particularly well suited for treati ...

Numerical Simulation of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings with Timber Diaphragms

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Igor Tomic, Ivana Bozulic

Though flexible diaphragms play a role in the seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings, the effect of the connections between floors and walls is rarely discussed or explicitly modelled when simulating the response of such buildings. These flexi ...

Elezanumab, a human anti-RGMa monoclonal antibody, promotes neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and neurorecovery following a thoracic hemicompression spinal cord injury in non-human primates

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Lili Huang, Xiaomeng Zhang

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition characterized by loss of function, secondary to damaged spinal neurons, disrupted axonal connections, and myelin loss. Spontaneous recovery is limited, and there are no approved pharmaceutical treatments ...

Imaging atelectrauma in Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury using 4D X-ray microscopy

Goran Lovric, Anders Larsson

Mechanical ventilation can damage the lungs, a condition called Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury (VILI). However, the mechanisms leading to VILI at the microscopic scale remain poorly understood. Here we investigated the within-tidal dynamics of cyclic recru ...

Lumbar and thoracic kinematics during step-up: Comparison of three-dimensional angles between patients with chronic low back pain and asymptomatic individuals

Julien Favre, Guillaume Christe

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been repeatedly observed in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), their exact nature is still unknown. Specifically, there is a need for comprehensive assessments of multisegment spinal angles during daily- ...

Mapping the site-specific accuracy of loop-based local pulse wave velocity estimation and reflection magnitude: a 1D arterial network model analysis

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Patrick Segers

Objective: Local pulse wave velocity (PWV) can be estimated from the waterhammer equation and is an essential component of wave separation analysis. However, previous studies have demonstrated inaccuracies in the estimations of local PWV due to the presenc ...

The onset of cardiovascular disease in mice: an image-based, computational-experimental approach

Lydia Aslanidou

In a number of cardiovascular diseases, the paucity of longitudinal human data hinders our understanding of disease evolution and forestalls the discovery of new therapeutic strategies. We therefore heavily rely on animal models to elucidate the mechanisms ...

Noninvasive Stroke Volume Monitoring by Electrical Impedance Tomography

Fabian Braun

In clinical practice it is of vital importance to track the health of a patient's cardiovascular system via the continuous measurement of hemodynamic parameters. Cardiac output (CO) and the related stroke volume (SV) are two such parameters of central inte ...

Chronic low back pain patients walk with locally altered spinal kinematics

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Guillaume Christe

Various studies have reported alterations of spinal kinematics in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) during gait. However, while recent findings stressed the importance of multi-segment analysis, most of prior gait studies modelled the lumbar spine ...

Non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring by electrical impedance tomography

Martin Proença

The monitoring of central hemodynamic parameters such as cardiac output (CO) and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is of paramount clinical importance to assess the health status of the cardiovascular system. However, their measurement requires the insertion ...
