Arterial stiffening acts synergistically with APOE genotype and AD biomarker status to influence memory in older adults without dementia

open access: yesAlzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2021
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]

open access: yesHypertension Research, 2010
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.

Comparison between estimated and brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity for cardiovascular and overall mortality prediction

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2021
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was a good marker of arterial stiffness and could predict cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. Recently, estimated PWV (ePWV) calculated by equations using age and mean blood pressure was reported to be an independent predictor of ...

Effects of beam velocity and density on an ion-beam pulse moving in magnetized plasmas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The wakefield and stopping power of an ion-beam pulse moving in magnetized plasmas are investigated by particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The effects of beam velocity and density on the wake and stopping power are discussed. In the presence of magnetic field, it is found that beside the longitudinal conversed V-shaped wakes, the strong whistler wave ...

Are "EIT Waves" Fast-Mode MHD Waves? [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys.J.664:556-562,2007, 2007
We examine the nature of large-scale, coronal, propagating wave fronts (``EIT waves'') and find they are incongruous with solutions using fast-mode MHD plane-wave theory. Specifically, we consider the following properties: non-dispersive single pulse manifestions, observed velocities below the local Alfven speed, and different pulses which travel at ...

The effects of antihypertensive drugs on arterial stiffness☆

open access: yesArtery Research, 2016
Ageing and cardiovascular risk factors, particularly uncontrolled hypertension, adversely impact arterial stiffness and wave reflection leading to increased central systolic blood pressure.

Spatially multiplexed picosecond pulse-train generations through simultaneous intra-modal four wave mixing and inter-modal cross-phase modulation [PDF]

open access: yesLaser Physics Letters, IOP Publishing, 2020, 17 (4), pp.045101, 2020
We report on the experimental generation of spatially multiplexed picosecond 40-GHz pulse trains at telecommunication wavelengths by simultaneous intra-modal multiple four wave mixing and intermodal cross-phase modulation in km-long bi-modal and 6-LP-mode graded-index few-mode fibers. More precisely, an initial beat-signal injected into the fundamental

Evaluation of Distensibility and Stiffness of Ascending Aortic Aneurysm using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesJournal of Nepal Medical Association, 2016
Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging emerging as a new tool for the diagnosis and evaluation of ascending aortic aneurysm. The aim of our study is to evaluate in vivo distensibility and pulse wave velocity of the aortic wall using functional magnetic
