Direct Measurements of the Stiffness of Echinoderm Sperm Flagella
1. The stiffness (flexural rigidity) of some echinoderm sperm flagella was measured, using a flexible glass microneedle. 2. Values of 0-3-1 -5 x io a i N m were obtained for the stiffness of live flagella which were immobilized with COg-saturated sea water. 3. The immobilized live flagellum was uniform in stiffness along its entire length, except in a particular plane of imposed bending in whic...
متن کاملEvaluation of Arterial Stiffness by Echocardiography: Methodological Aspects
As humans age, degenerative changes in the arterial structure gradually progress and result in the stiffening of the arteries, which is called arteriosclerosis. Arterial stiffness is now an established risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This stiffening has adverse effects for both the general population as well as for patients with CVD. Measurements of pulse wave velocity and pulse wa...
متن کاملAutomated volume measurements in echocardiography by utilizing expert knowledge
Left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) are important parameters fordiagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning in patients with heart disease. These parametersare commonly measured by manual tracing in echocardiographic images, a procedure thatis time consuming, prone to interand intra-observer variability, and require highly trainedoperators. This is particul...
متن کاملDeglutition-induced atrial tachycardia: direct visualization by intracardiac echocardiography.
A 56-year-old man with gastroesophageal reflux disease had severe but transient palpitations during swallowing with every meal. He continued to have symptoms despite cessation of alcohol and caffeine consumption. Although he was occasionally able to reproduce his symptoms with dry swallowing, they were more prominent after swallowing solid food or carbonated beverages. He reported no palpitatio...
متن کاملMeasurements of Arterial Stiffness: Methodological Aspects
A significant association between increased arterial stiffness and the development of cardiovascular disease has led to the increased use of arterial stiffness in the clinical assessment of cardiovascular risk. Various methods are currently available. With advances in technology, the assessment methods have become easy to use and more acceptable to patients. However, the different techniques th...
