Saddle point detection in 4 D PC - MRI blood - flow
To extract critical points from a (3D time-resolved) blood-flow velocity field, we employ a 3D winding number algorithm. Experiments are performed to asses the behavior of the winding number algorithm. First is experimented with artificial data sets, and the robustness of the winding number algorithm is tested, along with the indexation algorithm and the clustering algorithm. Subsequently, some...
متن کاملGender differences in bicycle saddle pressure distribution during seated cycling.
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of gender, power, hand position, and ischial tuberosity (IT) width on saddle pressure during seated stationary cycling. METHODS Twenty-two experienced cyclists (11 males and 11 females) were fitted to an adjustable stationary bicycle and pedaled at 100 and 200 W in both the tops and drops hand positions. An instrumented p...
متن کاملAcupuncture Affects Regional Blood Flow in Various Organs
In this review, our recent studies using anesthetized animals concerning the neural mechanisms of vasodilative effect of acupuncture-like stimulation in various organs are briefly summarized. Responses of cortical cerebral blood flow and uterine blood flow are characterized as non-segmental and segmental reflexes. Among acupuncture-like stimuli delivered to five different segmental areas of the...
متن کاملMelatonin differentially affects vascular blood flow in humans.
Melatonin is synthesized and released into the circulation by the pineal gland in a circadian rhythm. Melatonin has been demonstrated to differentially alter blood flow to assorted vascular beds by the activation of different melatonin receptors in animal models. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of melatonin on blood flow to various vascular beds in humans. Renal (Do...
متن کاملForm, shape and function: segmented blood flow in the choriocapillaris
The development of fluid transport systems was a key event in the evolution of animals and plants. While within vertebrates branched geometries predominate, the choriocapillaris, which is the microvascular bed that is responsible for the maintenance of the outer retina, has evolved a planar topology. Here we examine the flow and mass transfer properties associated with this unusual geometry. We...
