Effect of eddy length scale on mechanical loading of blood cells in turbulent flow
(2009)Non-physiological turbulent blood flow is known to occur in and near implanted cardiovascular devices, but its effects on blood are poorly understood. The objective of this work is to investigate the effect of turbulent ... -
Measurement of the Retinal Arteriolar Response to a Hyperoxic Provocation
(2013-09-04)The endothelium is a monolayer of cells that lines the inner surface of blood vessels; it plays an important role in local blood flow regulation by secreting vasoactive factors, which modulate vascular tone, in response ... -
Models of flow-induced loading on blood cells in laminar and turbulent flow, with application to cardiovascular device flow
(Springer, 2007-08)Viscous shear stress and Reynolds stress are often used to predict hemolysis and thrombosis due to flow-induced stress on blood elements in cardiovascular devices. These macroscopic stresses are distinct from the true ... -
Vascular plasticity and target for therapy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
(NUI Galway, 2023-06-13)Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, necessary for the growth and maintenance of homeostasis. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a debilitating disease of the musculoskeletal ...
