The retinal vasculature allows direct noninvasive visualization of the body's
mircrovasculature. Because the retina and other end organs (brain and kidney) share similar …

Although cerebral small vessel disease has been implicated in the development of
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the cerebral microcirculation is difficult to visualize directly in vivo …

Aim Fractal analysis provides a global assessment of vascular network architecture. We
examined the relationship of retinal vascular fractal dimension (D f) with coronary heart …

The fields of biological and medical physics and biomedical engineering are broad,
multidisciplinary and dyanmic. They lie at the crossroads of frontier-search in physics …

Targeted drug delivery is a promising technique to direct the drug to the specific diseased
region. Nanoparticles have provided an attractive approach for this purpose. In practice, the …

Abstract Background and Objective: The main objective of the work is to examine the
curvature effects of stenosis/dilatation region pertaining to left coronary artery. The …

AIMS: Wall shear stress (WSS) may induce local remodeling of the vascular wall and the
WSS pattern in turn depends on vascular geometry. We aimed to elucidate the impact of …

Purpose: Our purpose was to examine the relationship of retinal vascular parameters with
diabetes and retinopathy in an older Asian population. Methods: Retinal photographs from …

Mechanical stimuli are key to understanding disease progression and clinically observed
differences in failure rates between arterial and venous grafts following coronary artery …

We analyze the structure of networks minimizing the global resistance to flow (or dissipative
energy) with respect to two different constraints: fixed total channel volume and fixed total …
