Fitting rectangles under vulnerability curves: optimal water flow through plants [PDF]
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 41 (2018)
pp.7949-7957, 2019 We study an optimization problem for a model of steady state water transport through plants that maximizes water flow subject to the constraints on hydraulic conductance due to vulnerability to embolism (air blockage of conduits). The model has an elementary geometric interpretation, and exhibits bottleneck behavior where one of the plant segments ...

Complications of Embolization [PDF]
Seminars in Interventional Radiology, 2006 Embolization is a remarkably versatile procedure used in nearly all vascular and nonvascular systems to treat a wide range of pathology. The published literature is rich with studies demonstrating the enormous therapeutic potential offered by embolization procedures, and the possibilities continue to expand with the advent of new embolization agents ...

Assessing malpractice lawsuits for death or injuries due to amniotic fluid embolism [PDF]
, 2017 Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a pregnancy complication known to be extremely hard to diagnose, since it manifests itself abruptly and with no warning signs, presenting an incidence rate of about 1 in 40000 deliveries, and maternal morbidity and ...

PECon: Contrastive Pretraining to Enhance Feature Alignment between CT and EHR Data for Improved Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Previous deep learning efforts have focused on improving the performance of Pulmonary Embolism(PE) diagnosis from Computed Tomography (CT) scans using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). However, the features from CT scans alone are not always sufficient for the diagnosis of PE.

Non-valvular atrial fibrillation and stroke : implications for management [PDF]
, 1995 Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation is more prevalent with increasing age. It is associated with a six-fold excess risk of stroke; and a cumulative lifetime stroke risk of 35%. 15% of ischaemic strokes are directly attributable to it.

Occurrence, Risk Factors, and Prognosis of Acute Cerebral Microinfarcts in CADASIL
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most common monogenic cerebral small vessel disease in adults. This study investigates the occurrence, risk factors, and prognosis of acute cerebral microinfarcts (ACMIs) in patients with CADASIL.

Covering Trick and Embolic Volume [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Embolic volume of compact manifolds is defined in terms of Berger's embolic inequality. In this paper, we show a result of relating embolic volume to the first Betti number. The proof relies on Gromov's covering argument appeared in systolic geometry. Berger called this method covering trick. We exploit and present more details to covering trick in the
