Electrical wave propagation in an anisotropic model of the left ventricle based on analytical description of cardiac architecture. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
We develop a numerical approach based on our recent analytical model of fiber structure in the left ventricle of the human heart. A special curvilinear coordinate system is proposed to analytically include realistic ventricular shape and myofiber ...

Digital Histology by Phase Imaging Specific Biomarkers for Human Tumoral Tissues Discrimination

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Histology is the diagnosis gold standard. Conventional biopsy presents artifacts, delays, or human bias. Digital histology includes automation and improved diagnosis.

Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging applied to rat model of contrast-induced acute kidney injury [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
Objectives In this preclinical investigation, the feasibility of using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to study contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) is explored, comparing radiographic outcomes with histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings

Birth weight is associated with brain tissue volumes seven decades later but not with MRI markers of brain ageing

open access: yesNeuroImage: Clinical, 2021
Birth weight, an indicator of fetal growth, is associated with cognitive outcomes in early life (which are predictive of cognitive ability in later life) and risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease across the life course.

Rationale for the Choice of the Ellipsoidal Reflector Parameters for Biomedical Photometers

open access: yesПриборы и методы измерений, 2021
Biomedical photometersʼ information-measuring systems with ellipsoidal reflectors have acceptable results in determining of biological tissues optical properties in the visible and near-infrared spectral range. These photometers make it possible to study

Comparison of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging sequences with laboratory parameters for prognosticating renal function in chronic kidney disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is playing an increasingly important role in evaluating chronic kidney disease (CKD). It has the potential to be used not only for evaluation of physiological and pathological states, but also for prediction of disease ...

Single-Fiber Reflectance Spectroscopy of Isotropic-Scattering Medium: An Analytic Perspective to the Ratio-of-Remission in Steady-State Measurements

open access: yesPhotonics, 2014
Recent focused Monte Carlo and experimental studies on steady-state single-fiber reflectance spectroscopy (SfRS) from a biologically relevant scattering medium have revealed that, as the dimensionless reduced scattering of the medium increases, the SfRS ...

Optimization of the Distance between Cylindrical Light Distributors Used for Interstitial Light Delivery in Biological Tissues

open access: yesPhotonics, 2022
Cylindrical light diffusers (CLDs) are often employed for the treatment of large tumors by interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) and photoimmunotherapy (PIT), which involves careful treatment planning to maximize therapeutic dose coverage while ...
