Lymphedema, a disfiguring condition characterized by the asymmetrical swelling of the limbs, is suspected to be caused by dysfunctions in the lymphatic system. Lymphangions, the spontaneously contracting units of the lymphatic system, are…
In the present work, irregular complex joints of the human arm are modelled in the computer-aided design environment. Accurately the geometric models of the joints and surrounding bony regions are developed from computed tomography data set…
In the present work, complex irregular bones and joints of the complete human arm were developed in a computer-aided design environment. Finite element analysis of an actual human arm was done to identify the distribution of stress using…
We consider the problem of locating a point-source heart arrhythmia using data from a standard diagnostic procedure, where a reference catheter is placed in the heart, and arrival times from a second diagnostic catheter are recorded as the…
Animal hair examination at a criminal scene may provide valuable information in forensic investigations. However, local reference databases for animal hair identification are rare. In the present study, we provide differential histological…
The flat bone develops through intramembranous ossification, in which the mesenchymal cells are directly driven towards osteogenic lineage without the formation of cartilage template. While long bone develops through endochondral…
Non-invasive ventilation is increasingly used for respiratory support in preterm infants, and is associated with a lower risk of chronic lung disease. However, this mode is often not successful in the extremely preterm infant in part due to…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia in human beings, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The current standard of care includes interventional catheter ablation in selected patients, but the…
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between erectile pressure (EP) and shear wave speed of the corpus cavernosa obtained via a specific ultrasound vibro-elastography (UVE) technique. This study builds upon our…
It has been shown that geometrical, structural properties vary along the length of the aortic arch. There is a scarcity of studies focus on the variation in the vessel wall thickness of aortic arch. The central premise of this study is that…
Arterial tissue failures lead to a number of clinical conditions that develop rapidly and unpredictably in vivo. Structural components and their interfacial mechanical strength of arterial tissue play a critical role in the process of…
Immunotherapy is currently regarded as the most promising treatment to fight against cancer. This is particularly true in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, an indolent neoplastic disease of B-lymphocytes which eventually causes…
This paper describes a micro fluorescence in situ hybridization ({\mu}FISH)-based rapid detection of cytogenetic biomarkers on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. We demonstrated this method in the context of detecting…
Arterial tissue delamination, manifested as the failure between arterial layers, is a critical process in the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque, leading to potential life-threatening clinical consequences. Numerous models have been used to…
Atherosclerotic plaque failure results from various pathophysiological events, with the existence of fibrous cap mode I tearing in the arterial wall, having the potential to block the aortic lumen and correspondingly induce serious clinical…
Morphogenesis, the process by which an adult organism emerges from a single cell, has fascinated humans for a long time. Modelling this process can provide novel insights into development and the principles that orchestrate the…
Phosphate fertilizers were first implicated by Schroeder and Balassa in 1963 for increasing the Cd concentration in cultivated soils and crops. This suggestion has become a part of the accepted paradigm on soil toxicity. Consequently,…
We developed simulation methodology to assess eventual therapeutic efficiency of exogenous multiparametric changes in a four-component cellular system described by the system of ordinary differential equations. The method is numerically…
In order to understand the phenomenon of longevity in biological world, the relationship between the potential of longevity and the structural complexity of an organism is analyzed. I. The potential of longevity is the maximum lifespan of…
With the National Toxicology Program issuing its final report on cancer, rats and cell phone radiation, one can draw the following conclusions from their data. There is a roughly linear relationship between gliomas (brain cancers) and…
