Patient-specific hemodynamics and stress-strain state of cerebral aneurysms.
PURPOSE Approximately 5% of the adult population has one or more cerebral aneurysm. Aneurysms are one of the most dangerous cerebral vascular pathologies. Aneurysm rupture leads to a subarachnoid hemorrhage with a very high mortality rate of 45-50%. Despite the high importance of this disease there are no criteria for assessing the probability of aneurysm rupture. Moreover, mechanisms of aneury...
متن کاملTransforming Growth Factor- Signaling in Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Development: A Paradox in Pathogenesis
Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) are potentially devastating, and due to their asymptomatic behavior, pose a serious health risk characterized by the lack of medical treatment options and high rates of surgical morbidity and mortality. Independent of the inciting stimuli (biochemical/mechanical), TAA development proceeds by a multifactorial process influenced by both cellular and extracellular ...
متن کاملBalancing between stiff and soft: a life-saving compromise for lung epithelium in lung injury.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE extracellular matrix play a much more important role in cell differentiation (3) or responses of differentiated cells to various injurious insults (1, 6) than was previously thought. Cells can sense the stiffness of surrounding matrix and respond to mechanical cues in their microenvironment through a number of mechanisms, many of them mediated by integrins and signa...
متن کاملMathematical Foundations of Mechanical Biology 27 September to 1 October 2010
S (in alphabetic order by speaker surname) Speaker: Ambrosi, Davide (Politecnico di Milano) Title: Active force generation in biological tissues Abstract: The application of the methods of classical continuum mechanics to living tissues, namely the cardiac muscle, faces a peculiar behavior: the ability of a living body to deform by its own action, even without external loads. The mathematical r...
متن کاملNeonatal stroke is not a harmless condition.
See related article, pages 2012–2019. Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke, defined as a cerebrovascular event occurring between birth and 28 days postnatally with pathological or radiological evidence of focal arterial infarction, is now an increasingly recognized condition. The incidence is commonly referred to as 1/4000 live births,1–4 but higher rates were recently reported.5 Because focal neu...
