The aim of this study was to analyze the arterial wall response to plaque-prone hemodynamic environments, known to occur mainly in areas of arterial trees such as bifurcations and branching points. In these areas, the vasculature is exposed to cyclically r ...
Low trauma, reduced costs and fast recovery are only a few factors why minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is taking over classical surgical methods. Interventional Radiology (IR) is a minimally invasive procedure where thin tubular instruments are steered th ...
In photodynamic therapy (PDT), excitation of a drug by light leads to a cascade of biochemical processes that can cause closure of blood vessels. It has been observed clinically that significant short-term leakage from the irradiated vasculature can occur ...
There are many elements in plasma that can act as surrogate markers of the physiological well-being of a mouse, thus making the collection of blood and plasma a general technique with many applications in mouse phenotyping. For example, the presence of cer ...
ACE inhibitory peptides are biologically active peptides that play a role in blood pressure regulation. When derived from food proteins during food processing or gastrointestinal digestion, these peptides could function as efficient agents in treating and ...
The aim of this work is to provide mathematically sound and computationally effective tools for the numerical simulation of the interaction between fluid and structures as occurring, for instance, in the simulation of the human cardiovascular system. This ...
In the cardiovascular system, morphology and functionality are closely related. Altered flow conditions play an important role in the development of arterial disease. In turn, these flow conditions are modified by arterial wall changes. A detailed understa ...
Parallel computation of blood flow in a 1D model of human arterial network has been carried out employing a Taylor Galerkin finite element method. Message passing interface libraries have been used on Origin 2000 SGI machine. A Greedy strategy for load-dis ...
In this note, we consider some issues relevant for the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics to biomedical vascular investigations. More precisely, models for blood and vessel walls are briefly addressed together with some preliminary results in the ...
We investigate a one-dimensional model of blood flow in human arteries. In particular, we consider the case when an abrupt variation of mechanical characteristic of artery is caused by the presence of a vascular prosthesis. The derivations of the model and ...
