Heart-like fair queuing algorithms (HLFQA) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We propose a new family of fair, work conserving traffic scheduling mechanisms that imitate the behavior of the human heart in the cardiovascular system.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: Early diastolic relaxation and late diastolic compliance

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 1989
The fundamental importance of cardiac filling in regulating performance of the heart was recognized by Starling (I) early in this century. Development of comprehensive ventricular function curves by Sarnoff and others (la,2) beginning in the 1950s focused attention on the role of ventricular compliance in influencing cardiac pump performance by ...

Current perspectives in diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2006
Diastolic heart failure (HF) has emerged over the last two decades as a separate clinical entity. Approximately half of the patients presenting with symptoms of congestive HF exhibit a near normal left ventricular (LV) systolic function at rest, which is thought to be caused by a predominant abnormality in diastolic function. It is generally considered

Effects of cardiac motion on dose distribution during stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation treatment: A simulation and phantom study

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Cardiac motion may degrade dose distribution during stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation using the CyberKnife system, a robotic radiosurgery system. This study evaluated the dose distribution changes using a self‐made cardiac dynamic platform that mimics cardiac motion. Methods The cardiac dynamic platform was operated with amplitudes

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Left Ventricular Filling Pressure Is Associated with NT-proBNP in Patients with New Onset Heart Failure

open access: yesMedicina, 2023
Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is emerging as an important imaging tool for sub-phenotyping and estimating left ventricular (LV) filling pressure (LVFP).

Impaired coronary blood flow at higher heart rates during atrial fibrillation: investigation via multiscale modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background. Different mechanisms have been proposed to relate atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary flow impairment, even in absence of relevant coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the underlying hemodynamics remains unclear.

A semiparametric regression model for paired longitudinal outcomes with application in childhood blood pressure development [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Statistics 2012, Vol. 6, No. 4, 1861-1882, 2013
This research examines the simultaneous influences of height and weight on longitudinally measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure in children. Previous studies have shown that both height and weight are positively associated with blood pressure.

Cerebral autoregulation in patients with acute lacunar infarction: a reliable predictor of outcome

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To further investigate the association between dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) and the outcomes in patients with acute lacunar infarction. Methods Patients were prospectively and consecutively enrolled at The First Hospital of Jilin University between 2016 and 2023. dCA was monitored at 1–3 and 7–10 days after the stroke.

Diastolic and isoperimetric inequalities on surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales scientifiques de l'\'Ecole Normale Sup\'erieure, S\'erie 4, Tome 43 (2010) no. 4, pp. 579-605
We prove a universal inequality between the diastole, defined using a minimax process on the one-cycle space, and the area of closed Riemannian surfaces. Roughly speaking, we show that any closed Riemannian surface can be swept out by a family of multi-loops whose lengths are bounded in terms of the area of the surface. This diastolic inequality, which

Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and Radiographic Changes in Psoriatic Arthritis: A Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a known comorbidity of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and is associated with PsA disease activity. We aimed to explore the association between MetS and radiographic features (peripheral and axial) in PsA. Methods We included patients with PsA followed at our prospective observational cohort for the period between 1978 ...
