Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis
Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis. Abstract Background and Aims Nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain‐like receptor‐family pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation has been shown to result in liver fibrosis.

A quantitative model for refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum during vascular smooth muscle asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations [PDF]
We have developed a quantitative model for the creation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ gradients near the inner surface of the plasma membrane (PM). In particular we simulated the refilling of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) via PM-SR junctions during asynchronous [Ca2+] oscillations in smooth muscle cells of the rabbit inferior vena cava.

A sharp interface Lagrangian-Eulerian method for flexible-body fluid-structure interaction [PDF]
This paper introduces a sharp-interface approach to simulating fluid-structure interaction involving flexible bodies described by general nonlinear material models and across a broad range of mass density ratios. This new flexible-body immersed Lagrangian-Eulerian (ILE) approach incorporates the geometrical and domain solution flexibility of the ...

Inferior vena cava injury: survival of a rare case [PDF]
The inferior vena cava is the most commonly injured abdominal vessel and accounts for about 25% of abdominal vascular injuries. Despite improved preoperative care and operative techniques, the mortality rates for the inferior vena cava injuries are still

Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

Neoplasia renal con extensión a la vena cava [PDF]
La neoplasia renal con extensión a la vena cava es relativamente rara (4-10%). Cualquiera que sea la terapia coadjuvante (radioterapia, hormonal, quimioterapia e inmunoterapia), la exéresis completa del trombo tumoral de la vena cava continúa siendo la ...

Numerical and experimental study of the fluid flow through a medical device [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to verify a commercial software based fluid–structure interaction scheme for the inferior vena cava. Vena cava deep thrombosis (TVP) is a potentially deathly disease consequent to pulmonary thromboembolism (TEP).

Vena Cava Filter Misplacement: A Killer Traveler
Inferior vena cava filter embolization is not uncommon and can reach 11.8%. However, device migration to the heart is not frequent and occurs in cases after inferior vena cava filter fracture.
