Actively Circulating Volume as a Consequence of Stochasticity within Microcirculation
نویسنده
چکیده
It is well established that in the pathology of the cardio-vascular system (CVS) only a portion of the blood volume (BV) can be in active circulation. This portion of BV is named the actively circulating volume (ACV) and is evaluated from a monotone decrease of dilution curve produced by an intravascular tracer. In given paper is presented Markov chain as a math model of the flow of a tracer throughout CVS. The consideration of CVS as a set of segments with respect to an anatomical structure and assuming the existence for CVS steady-state condition; leads to the Markov chain of the finite order with constant coefficients. The conclusions of the article are 1) there are open and closed microvessels, such that the switching from open to closed and back is a stochastic process, 2) if the switching is slow then the ACV, as the volume of heart chambers and only open for circulation vessels, can be detected.

Shape of a dilution curve as the consequence of stochasticity within microcirculation
Introduction. There is a problem with commonly accepted parameters for microcirculation. This problem is due to many used mathematical models. The aim of notes to reveal that hypothesis about stochasticity of microflow leads to the uniqueness of mathematical equations for passage throughout microcirculation. Thus stochasticity could be a motivation for the choice of parameters of microcirculati...

In an attempt to explain the distribution of lesions of caisson disease of bone in the human femur, the regional distribution of circulating microspheres which had been labelled with scandium-46 was studies in the femur of the rabbit. Microspheres with a diameter of 15 microns were equally distributed between the two ends of the bone and between the upper and lower halves of the shaft. However,...

The microcirculation is a complex and integrated system that supplies and distributes oxygen throughout the tissues. The red blood cell (RBC) facilitates convective oxygen transport via co-operative binding with hemoglobin. In the microcirculation oxygen diffuses from the RBC into neighboring tissues, where it is consumed by mitochondria. Evidence suggests that the RBC acts as deliverer of oxyg...

Accumulating evidence indicates that aldosterone plays a critical role in the mediation of oxidative stress and vascular damage. NADPH oxidase has been recognized as a major source of oxidative stress in vasculature. However, the relation between NADPH oxidase in aldosterone-mediated oxidative stress in endothelial cells remains to be ascertained. The present study aimed to investigate the rel...
