The effects of curvature and constriction on airflow and energy loss in pathological tracheas
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2016 This paper considers factors that play a significant role in determining inspiratory pressure and energy losses in the human trachea. Previous characterisations of pathological geometry changes have focussed on relating airway constriction and subsequent pressure loss, however many pathologies that affect the trachea cause deviation, increased ...

Mitigation of cognitive decline and brain pathology after transaortic constriction by Mas agonists [PDF]
Alzheimer's & Dementia, 2021 AbstractBackgroundMas and A(1‐7), the endogenous ligand of Mas, were first characterized for their ability to counter regulate the pathological actions of A‐II and AT1R. A(1‐7) has been shown to decrease inflammation and OS and increase cerebral blood flow reactivity.
