Visualizing Carotid Blood Flow Simulations for Stroke Prevention [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this work, we investigate how concepts from medical flow visualization can be applied to enhance stroke prevention diagnostics. Our focus lies on carotid stenoses, i.e., local narrowings of the major brain-supplying arteries, which are a frequent cause of stroke.

The Clinical Study on Bell's Palsy Patients with TCD Measurement
Journal of Pharmacopuncture, 2003 Objective : This study was carried to make out the connection between cerebral artery blood flow velocity and ischemic theory that presumed the cause of Bell's palsy. Method : We measured cerebral artery blood flow velocity each external carotid artery,

Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulations In a Model of a Carotid Bifurcation Under Steady Flow Conditions [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Strokes are still one of the leading causes for death after heart diseases and cancer in all over the world. Most strokes happen because an artery that carries blood uphill from the heart to the head gets clogged. Most of the time, as with heart attacks, the problem is atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, calcified buildup of fatty deposits on ...

Label Propagation for 3D Carotid Vessel Wall Segmentation and Atherosclerosis Diagnosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Carotid vessel wall segmentation is a crucial yet challenging task in the computer-aided diagnosis of atherosclerosis. Although numerous deep learning models have achieved remarkable success in many medical image segmentation tasks, accurate segmentation of carotid vessel wall on magnetic resonance (MR) images remains challenging, due to limited ...

Mechanical identification of layer-specific properties of mouse carotid arteries using 3D-DIC and a hyperelastic anisotropic constitutive model [PDF]
Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering 15, 1
(2012) 37-48, 2012 The role of mechanics is known to be of primary order in many arterial diseases; however, determining mechanical properties of arteries remains a challenge. This paper discusses the identifiability of the passive mechanical properties of a mouse carotid artery, taking into account the orientation of collagen fibres in the medial and adventitial layers.

Bilateral linguofacial trunk - a case report
National Journal of Clinical Anatomy, 2012 During routine dissection of an adult male cadaver, a unique case of anomalous origin of linguofacial trunk from both the right and left external carotid arteries with no looping of lingual artery in its course and relative higher division of right ...

PRAS40 suppresses atherogenesis through inhibition of mTORC1-dependent pro-inflammatory signaling in endothelial cells [PDF]
, 2019 Endothelial pro-inflammatory activation plays a pivotal role in atherosclerosis, and many pro-inflammatory and atherogenic signals converge upon mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR).
