Association between noninvasive fibrosis markers and cardio-vascular organ damage among adults with hepatic steatosis [PDF]
, 2014 Evidence suggests that advanced fibrosis, as determined by the noninvasive NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), is a predictor of cardiovascular mortality in individuals with ultrasonography-diagnosed NAFLD. Whether the severity of histology (i.e., fibrosis stage)

Impact of noise on the instability of spiral waves in stochastic 2D mathematical models of human atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Journal of Biological Physics 49 (2023) 521-533, 2023 Sustained spiral waves, also known as rotors, are pivotal mechanisms in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Stochasticity is inevitable in nonlinear biological systems such as the heart; however, it is unclear how noise affects the instability of spiral waves in human AF.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis [PDF]
The Lancet, 2006 Retroperitoneal fibrosis encompasses a range of diseases characterised by the presence of a fibro-inflammatory tissue, which usually surrounds the abdominal aorta and the iliac arteries and extends into the retroperitoneum to envelop neighbouring structures--eg, ureters. Retroperitoneal fibrosis is generally idiopathic, but can also be secondary to the

Influence of portal vein occlusion on portal flow and liver elasticity in an animal model [PDF]
NMR in Biomedicine, Wiley, 2021, pp.e4498, 2021 Hepatic fibrosis causes an increase in liver stiffness, a parameter measured by elastography and widely used as a diagnosis method. The concomitant presence of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) implies a change in hepatic portal inflow that could also affect liver elasticity.
