Assessment of wall elasticity variations on intraluminal haemodynamics in descending aortic dissections using a lumped-parameter model. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Descending aortic dissection (DAD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Aortic wall stiffness is a variable often altered in DAD patients and potentially involved in long-term outcome. However, its relevance is still mostly unknown.

The sexuality assemblage: Desire, affect, anti-humanism [PDF]

, 2013
Two theoretical moves are required to resist the ‘humanist enticements’ associated with sexuality. Post-structuralism supplies the first, showing how the social produces culturally-specific sexual knowledgeabilities.

Effect of maternal oxytocin on umbilical venous and arterial blood flows during physiological-based cord clamping in preterm lambs.

PLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundDelayed umbilical cord clamping (UCC) after birth is thought to cause placental to infant blood transfusion, but the mechanisms are unknown.

The endothelial glycocalyx prefers albumin for evoking shear stress-induced, nitric oxide-mediated coronary dilatation [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Shear stress induces coronary dilatation via production of nitric oxide ( NO). This should involve the endothelial glycocalyx ( EG). A greater effect was expected of albumin versus hydroxyethyl starch ( HES) perfusion, because albumin seals ...

Modeling Food Web Interactions in Benthic Deep-Sea Ecosystems: A Practical Guide [PDF]

Oceanography, 2009
Deep-sea benthic systems are notoriously difficult to sample. Even more than for other benthic systems, many flows among biological groups cannot be directly measured, and data sets remain incomplete and uncertain.

Responses of hepatic blood flows to changes in intake in sheep: a meta-analysis

Animal, 2009
This work set out to establish the response equations for hepatic blood flows in sheep and the contribution of hepatic arterial flow to hepatic venous blood flow due to changes in intake levels at constant diet composition.

Red Blood Cells: Tethering, Vesiculation, and Disease in Micro-Vascular Flow

Diagnostics, 2021
The red blood cell has become implicated in the progression of a range of diseases; mechanisms by which red cells are involved appear to include the transport of inflammatory species via red cell-derived vesicles.

Physiological effects of high-flow nasal cannula therapy in preterm infants

Archives of Disease in Childhood: Fetal and Neonatal Edition, 2019
Objective High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is increasingly used in preterm infants despite a paucity of physiological studies. We aimed to investigate the effects of HFNC on respiratory physiology.

How Much PEEP Does High Flow Deliver via Tracheostomy? A Literature Review and Benchtop Experiment

Critical Care Research and Practice, 2021
Background. High flow tracheostomy (HFT) is a commonly used weaning and humidification strategy for tracheostomised patients, but little is known as to how much PEEP or mechanical benefit it offers.

Computational fluid dynamics model to predict the dynamical behavior of the cerebrospinal fluid through implementation of physiological boundary conditions

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics play an important role in maintaining a stable central nervous system environment and are influenced by different physiological processes.
