Daily rhythm of cerebral blood flow velocity
BACKGROUND: CBFV (cerebral blood flow velocity) is lower in the morning than in the afternoon and evening. Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain the time of day changes in CBFV: 1) CBFV changes are due to sleep-associated processes or 2) time of day changes in CBFV are due to an endogenous circadian rhythm independent of sleep.

The Importance of Velocity Acceleration to Flow-Mediated Dilation [PDF]
The validity of the flow-mediated dilation test has been questioned due to the lack of normalization to the primary stimulus, shear stress. Shear stress can be calculated using Poiseuille's law.

Relationship between vascular resistance and sympathetic nerve fiber density in arterial vessels in children with sleep disordered breathing [PDF]
Sleep disordered breathing in children is associated with increased blood flow velocity and sympathetic overactivity. Sympathetic overactivity results in peripheral vasoconstriction and reduced systemic vascular compliance, which increases blood flow ...

Computational fluid dynamicaccuracy in mimicking changes in blood hemodynamics in patients with acute type IIIb aortic dissection treated with TEVAR [PDF]
Background: We aimed to verify the accuracy of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) algorithm for blood flow reconstruction for type IIIb aortic dissection (TBAD) before and after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

Pulsatile blood flow through a constricted porous artery [PDF]
In this paper a speculative study of an incompressible Newtonian blood flow through a constricted porous channel and pulsatile nature is inspected. Porosity parameter λ is incorporated in the momentum equation.

Comparison of reduced models for blood flow using Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin methods
One-dimensional blood flow models take the general form of nonlinear hyperbolic systems but differ greatly in their formulation. One class of models considers the physically conserved quantities of mass and momentum, while another class describes mass ...

Inert gas clearance from tissue by co-currently and counter-currently arranged microvessels [PDF]
To elucidate the clearance of dissolved inert gas from tissues, we have developed numerical models of gas transport in a cylindrical block of tissue supplied by one or two capillaries. With two capillaries, attention is given to the effects of co-current

Numerical-experimental observation of shape bistability of red blood cells flowing in a microchannel [PDF]
Red blood cells flowing through capillaries assume a wide variety of different shapes owing to their high deformability. Predicting the realized shapes is a complex field as they are determined by the intricate interplay between the flow conditions and ...

In vivo photoacoustic flowmetry in the optical diffusive regime based on saline injection [PDF]
We propose a saline-injection-based method to quantify blood flow velocity in vivo with acoustic-resolution photoacoustic tomography. By monitoring the saline-blood-interface propagating in the blood vessel, we can resolve the flow velocity.
