Stiff Arteries, Stiff Ventricles [PDF]
Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2016 The biophysical properties and neurohormonal regulation of arterial function are influential mediators of cardiovascular disease. Over the past 3 decades, the prognostic importance of arterial stiffness, as a measurable indicator of arterial function, has been recognized in both unselected populations and among patients with cardiovascular risk factors.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Stiffness and mass matrices for shells of revolution (SAMMSOR II) [PDF]
, 1974 Utilizing element properties, structural stiffness and mass matrices are generated for as many as twenty harmonics and stored on magnetic tape. Matrices generated constitute input data to be used by other stiffness of revolution programs.
