Aortic and arterial mechanics [PDF]
Cardiovascular Mechanics, 2018, 2019 Knowledge of the mechanical properties of the aorta is essential as important concerns regarding the treatment of aortic pathologies, such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms and dissections, are fundamentally mechanobiological. A comprehensive review is presented in the current chapter. As the function of arteries is to carry blood to the peripheral organs,

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can result in increased placental lesions related to high maternal blood glucose, but these relationships are not well understood. Objective To examine the relationship between GDM and placental vascular malperfusion lesions: accelerated villous maturation, increased syncytial knots, delayed ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Accumulating evidence has shown that preeclampsia (PE) was associated with an aberrant maternal-fetal inflammatory response. In the present study, we first found that in human PE placentas levels of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), phosphorylated p38 mitogen-

Hemodynamic assessment of pulmonary hypertension in mice: a model based analysis of the disease mechanism [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 This study uses a one dimensional fluid dynamics arterial network model to infer changes in hemodynamic quantities associated with pulmonary hypertension in mice. Data for this study include blood flow and pressure measurements from the main pulmonary artery for 7 control mice with normal pulmonary function and 5 hypertensive mice with hypoxia induced ...

iRADIOLOGY, EarlyView.Applying myocardial parametric mapping based on post‐mortem MRI is feasible for non‐invasive tissue characterization. We speculated that the elevated T2 relaxation may be an essential myocardial tissue characterization of cyanotic congenital heart disease, potentially suggesting myocardial edema, which may provide evidence to guide appropriate ...

Detection and localization of Coronary Arterial Lesion with the Aid of Impedance Cardiography [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In recent years, coronary artery disease is escalating and is likely to assume an epidemic proportion by 2030. Currently the reliable methods for detection of coronary arterial lesions are either conventional coronary angiogram (CAG) or MDCT (Multiple Detector Computed Tomography) coronary angiogram.

Macrophage and Preeclampsia: Macrophage Polarization Imbalance at the Maternal‐Fetal Interface
Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.The development and progression of preeclampsia (PE) are associated with immune‐inflammatory responses induced by placental dysfunction. The polarization imbalance of decidual macrophages, particularly the increase in M1 polarization, exacerbates placental inflammation.

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.Background Central arterial stiffening is associated with brain white matter (WM) damage and gray matter (GM) volume loss in older adults, but little is known about this association from an adult lifespan perspective. Purpose To investigate the associations of central arterial stiffness with WM microstructural organization, WM lesion load, cortical ...
