Serotonergic and Dopaminergic Function in Neuropsychiatrically Asymptomatic People With HIV on Antiretroviral Therapy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective People with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) still experience neurocognitive dysfunction and accelerated brain volume loss. To assess whether the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems are affected, we used [11C]DASB positron emission tomography (PET) to assess presynaptic serotonergic function and [18F]FDOPA PET to measure ...

A New Multiscale Representation for Shapes and Its Application to Blood Vessel Recovery [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 32(4), 1724-1739, 2010, 2009
In this paper, we will first introduce a novel multiscale representation (MSR) for shapes. Based on the MSR, we will then design a surface inpainting algorithm to recover 3D geometry of blood vessels. Because of the nature of irregular morphology in vessels and organs, both phantom and real inpainting scenarios were tested using our new algorithm ...

The Transport of Nanoparticles in Blood Vessels: The Effect of Vessel Permeability and Blood Rheology

open access: yesAnnals of Biomedical Engineering, 2008
The longitudinal transport of nanoparticles in blood vessels has been analyzed with blood described as a Casson fluid. Starting from the celebrated Taylor and Aris theory, an explicit expression has been derived for the effective longitudinal diffusion (Deff) depending non-linearly on the rheological parameter xi(c), the ratio between the plug and the ...
