Combination of The Cellular Potts Model and Lattice Gas Cellular Automata For Simulating The Avascular Cancer Growth [PDF]
The advantage of Cellular Potts Model (CPM) is due to its ability for introducing cell-cell interaction based on the well known statistical model i.e. the Potts model. On the other hand, Lattice gas Cellular Automata (LGCA) can simulate movement of cell in a simple and correct physical way.

Abdominal fat necrosis in three Vietnamese Potbellied pigs
Abstract Three cases of abdominal fat necrosis in Vietnamese Potbellied pigs are described in this report. Two pigs were presented for nonspecific clinical signs of varying durations, including lethargy and hyporexia, and one pig was presented for euthanasia due to severe, progressive lameness in which abdominal fat necrosis was found incidentally.

Position statement on the management of pregnancy in sickle cell disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary haemoglobinopathy which causes multi‐organ dysfunction. Pregnancies in SCD are high risk with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, including vaso‐occlusive crises, thrombosis, anaemia, placental insufficiency, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth and medication effects. High level evidence

Clinical Features of Seven COL2A1 Variations in Chinese Children With Type II Collagen Disorders
ABSTRACTAimType II collagen, encoded by the collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1) gene, is crucial for the structure of cartilage. This study aims to improve our understanding of Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita (SEDC) caused by mutations in COL2A1.

Ricci Flow and Entropy Model for Avascular Tumor Growth and Decay Control [PDF]
Prediction and control of cancer invasion is a vital problem in medical science. This paper proposes a modern geometric Ricci-flow and entropy based model for control of avascular multicellular tumor spheroid growth and decay. As a tumor growth/decay control tool, a monoclonal antibody therapy is proposed.

Automatic segmentation of the Foveal Avascular Zone in ophthalmological OCT-A images [PDF]
Angiography by Optical Coherence Tomography is a non-invasive retinal imaging modality of recent appearance that allows the visualization of the vascular structure at predefined depths based on the detection of the blood movement. OCT-A images constitute a suitable scenario to analyse the retinal vascular properties of regions of interest, measuring ...

Bifurcation analysis of a free boundary model of vascular tumor growth with a necrotic core and chemotaxis [PDF]
A considerable number of research works has been devoted to the study of tumor models. Several biophysical factors, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, chemotaxis, angiogenesis and necrosis, have been discovered to have an impact on the complicated biological system of tumors.

AVASCULAR TUMOUR DYNAMICS AND NECROSIS
We consider the dynamic growth of a tumour, concentrating on the possible development of a necrotic region and examine some simple tumour geometries in detail. The growth and death rates of the cells in the viable rim of the tumour are taken to be determined by the local oxygen concentration.
