Prediction and Control of Blood Flow in the Human Brain Vascular Network

چکیده
Often overlooked, millions of people are affected by cerebrovascular diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Patients often do not receive a diagnosis early enough to get the full benefits of the treatments available today due to the similarities of symptoms between various cerebrovascular diseases. To address this problem, we propose a creation of a mathematical model of the cerebral vasculature. This paper primarily addresses the factors effecting blood flow distribution and the development of a control system that can eventually be applied to this model. An accurate mathematical model of the brain vasculature may allow an accurate simulation of different pathological conditions and phenomena of the brain, thus in the long term contributing to the study and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.

Computational simulations of nanoparticle transport in a three-dimensional capillary network
Objective(s): Multifunctional nanomedicine is the new generation of medicine, which is remarkably promising and associated with the minimum toxicity of targeted therapy. Distribution and transport of nanoparticles (NPs) in the blood flow are essential to the evaluation of delivery efficacy. Materials and Methods: In the present study, we initially designed a phantom based on Murray’s mini...

متن کاملMetalloproteinases, Mechanical Factors and Vascular Remodeling
Chronic increases in arterial blood flow elicit an adaptive response of the arterial wall, leading to vessel enlargement and reduction in wall shear stress to physiological baseline value. Release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells exposed to excessive shear is a fundamental step in the remodeling process, and potentially triggers a cascade of events, including growth factor induction and m...

Research on vehicle longitudinal control with a stop and go system is presently one of the most important topics in the field of intelligent transportation systems. The purpose of stop and go systems is to assist drivers for repeatedly accelerate and stop their vehicles in traffic jams. This system can improve the driving comfort, safety and reduce the danger of collisions and fuel consumption....
متن کامل3D study of capillary network derived from human cord blood mesenchymal stem cells and differentiated into endothelial cell with VEGFR2 protein expression
New blood forming vessels are produced by differentiation of mesodermal precursor cells to angioblasts that become endothelial cells (ECs) which in turn give rise to primitive capillary network. Human cord blood (HCB) contains large subsets of mononuclear cells (MNCs) that can be differentiated into endothelial-like cells in vitro. Human mononuclear progenitor cells were purified from fresh umb...
