Blood flow patterns in the coronary arteries are of interest due to their possible involvement in atherosclerosis localization. Spatial variations in hemodynamic flow patterns are predominantly determined by the vessel geometry. The coronary arteries repre ...
Seven classic and recently proposed methods used for the estimation of total arterial compliance have been evaluated for their accuracy and applicability in different physiological conditions. The pressure and flow data are taken from a computer model that ...
Medicine is one of the branches of scientific research in which numerical simulation can give a great support. In particular, a well mature branch like computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can provide a substantial help for the understanding of several patho ...
Bristeau, M.-O. (ed.) et al. Chichester: John Wiley & Sons.1997
This invention relates to the isolation and cloning of the promoter and other control regions of a human ob gene. It provides a method for identifying and screening for agents useful for the treatment of diseases and pathological conditions affected by the ...
The time between i.v. injection of a glucose bolus and the time the glucose concn. peaked in the s.c. tissue was measured in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats with implanted 290-mm-diam. amperometric sensors. Boluses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body wt. were ...
We previously reported that change, with age, in plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC) and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) differed between apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotypes epsilon 3 epsilon 3 and epsilon 3 epsilon 4, in a sample of 77 older, unrelated males. B ...
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 ...
This study is concerned with the wave reflection properties of arterial stenoses. Two theoretical models have been developed for deriving the reflection coefficient: a linear model resulting from the linearization of the pressure drop-flow equation and an ...
In tuberculosis, it is often important to establish the source of infection and to determine whether disease is due to a new strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis or to relapse. To cope with the resurgence of tuberculosis and atypical mycobacterioses in AID ...
This study assesses (1) the relation of the very-low-frequency vasomotion (< 0.02 Hz) of the radial artery of young healthy volunteers to regional blood flow and (2) its distribution in the upper extremities. Radial artery diameters from comparable sites w ...
