Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimulation of Aorta Artery Aneurysms Using Active Electronic CircuitKamran Hassani, Mahdi Navidbakhsh, Mostafa RostamiThe fusiform and saccular aneurysms in different aorta artery sections were studied using an electronic circuit of cardiovascular system. The geometrical model of each artery section including thoracic and abdominal were generated in accordance with original anatomical data. By increasing the rate of aneurysm in each studied section, the pressure drop were calculated using CFD method, furthermore the compliance variations … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,235 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessEvery word in the titleCampylobacter Fetus Infection of the Aorta: A Case Report and Review of LiteratureRabindra Ghimire, Carl Urban, Andy Lee et al.Campylobacter is a gram negative bacterium that exhibits tissue tropism. We report a case of Campylobacter fetus bacteremia associated with infra-renal abdominal aortitis. The patient was a poor surgical candidate so she was initially treated only medically. Her course was complicated by the development of a pseudoaneurysm. An endovascular stent was placed and the patient was given 4 more weeks … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 Jun 2015 · 7,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStress-Strain Analysis of Abdominal Aortic Wall: A Case of 3D Geometry SimulationP. Khamdaengyodtai, P. Sakulchangsatjatai, P. TerdtoonProblem statement: This study analyzed stress-strain of abdominal aortic wall in 3D geometry simulation. Abdominal aorta is a portion of the aorta vessel in the abdomen which many cardiovascular diseases often occur. Approach: Abdominal aortic wall was considered as 1 layers-3 dimensional cylindrical geometry and homogeneous, incompressible and anisotropic material. Deformation of aortic wall was elastic deformation. Numerical method was … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Garcinia Atroviridis on Oxidative Stress and Atherosclerotic Changes in Experimental Guinea PigsAdel. A. Amran, Zaiton Zakaria, Faizah Othman, Paden MoratProblem statement: Oxidative stress plays a major role in hypercholesterolemia induced atherosclerosis. Garcinia atroviridis has been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties. Approach: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Garcinia atroviridis on the oxidative stress in guinea pigs fed with high cholesterol diet. Twenty-four male Guinea pigs were divided into four groups. Group I served as control while … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduced Levels of Testosterone Induce LDL Oxidation and Atherosclerotic Lesions Involving Inflammatory Imbalance and Reduced Macrophage ApoptosisPlacielle Fiorezi Filete, Flávia de Souza Andrade Moraes, Girlandia Alexandre Brasil et al.Atherosclerosis is among the major cardiovascular diseases that cause death in the world. Men who are deficient in androgen hormones are more susceptible to this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of reduced levels of testosterone on the lipid profile, pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis of peritoneal macrophages and the development of atherosclerosis in LDLr-/-mice, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 6 Dec 2019 · 7,338 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdiponectin mRNA Expression in the Cat (Felis domesticus)Angela L. Lusby, Stephen A. Kania, Joseph W. Bartges, Claudia A. KirkProblem statement: Adiponectin is a hormone expressed from adipose tissue in people, rodents and dogs. Adiponectin has anti-inflammatory action with beneficial effects on cardiovascular health and insulin sensitivity. With increasing fat mass, adiponectin concentrations paradoxically decrease. Adiponectin’s role in metabolism and diabetes mellitus is of interest in feline medicine because cats are susceptible to developing type II diabetes with weight … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2010 · 7,784 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExact Simulating of Human Arteries using Lumped Model and Probing Constriction in Femoral and Carotid ArteriesMohammad Reza Mirzaee, Omid Ghasemalizadeh, Bahar FiroozabadiProblem statement: Modeling Human cardiovascular system was always an important issue from long past because by doing such modeling, investigation in cardiovascular system and its abnormities would be simpler. One of the most effective ways to do such modeling is using lumped method (Electrical analogy). Approach: Lumped method was used for simulating a complete model in this approach. A 36-vessel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 7,304 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAbnormal Testicular Vascular Patterns amongst Three Trinidadians: (A Case Report)A. Odekunle, E. O. Uche-NwachiDuring our routine dissections to prepare teaching materials for our students we encountered three abnormal patterns of the testicular arteries in three Afro Trinidadian males. In the first case the right and left testicular arteries arose from accessory renal arteries. Their course to the testis remained unchanged. In the second case the left testicular artery arose from the left renal … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVitamin D Supplements Tone Down the Progression of Atheromatous Plaque Formation in a Dose-Dependent MannerAhmed Farouk, Khalid M. Mohany, Magdy Algowhary et al.Hypovitaminosis D has a negative impact on the cardiovascular system. We performed the current study to investigate the expression of Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) in atherosclerotic human male aortas and to examine the effect of different doses of Vit. D supplementation on VDR expression in the aortas of male rats fed a High-Fat Diet (HFD). Human participants included 50 atherosclerotic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 5 Oct 2021 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
