Superluminal optical pulse propagation in nonlinear coherent media [PDF]
The propagation of light-pulse with negative group-velocity in a nonlinear medium is studied theoretically. We show that the necessary conditions for these effects to be observable are realized in a three-level $\Lambda$-system interacting with a ...

Changes in AZGP1 Serum Levels and Correlation With Pulse Wave Velocity After Kidney Transplantation
Background: Zinc-alpha 2-glycoprotein (AZGP1), a secreted protein with ubiquitous tissue expression, has been controversially linked to the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Novel Methods for Pulse Wave Velocity Measurement [PDF]
The great incidence of cardiovascular (CV) diseases in the world spurs the search for new solutions to enable an early detection of pathological processes and provides more precise diagnosis based in multi-parameters assessment. The pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered one of the most important clinical parameters for evaluate the CV risk, vascular ...

Estimation of central pulse wave velocity from radial pulse wave analysis [PDF]
Arterial stiffness, commonly assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), is an independent biomarker for cardiovascular disease. The measurement of cfPWV, however, has been considered impractical for routine clinical application. Pulse wave analysis using a single pulse wave measurement in the radial artery is a convenient alternative ...

P6.01 IMPLANTABLE PULSE WAVE VELOCITY SENSOR
In case of vascular weakness or thrombosis stents are implanted and brace vessels from the inside to assure the proper blood flow. A widespread method to monitor the state of blood vessels in terms of their stiffness and diameter is to measure the pulse ...

Background Arterial stiffening has emerged as an important risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity has been proposed as a non-invasive and reproducible method to assess arterial stiffness ...

Pulse wave analysis and pulse wave velocity techniques: are they ready for the clinic? [PDF]
interestingly describe animportant factor when arterial stiffness is clini-cally assessed: subject’s body position. Althoughthis is an important question, especially ifwe want to bring this research tool to the clinicin a regular basis, there are several other factorsthat should be considered.
