Improved susceptibility-weighted imaging for high contrast and resolution thalamic nuclei mapping at 7T

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Constantin Tuleasca, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Frédéric Gretsch, Daniel Gallichan, Elena Najdenovska

Purpose The thalamus is an important brain structure and neurosurgical target, but its constituting nuclei are challenging to image non-invasively. Recently, susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) at ultra-high field has shown promising capabilities for tha ...

Risk prediction of developing venous thrombosis in combined oral contraceptive users

Emmanuelle Logette, Valérie Buchillier

Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. An example for the latter is the regular use of combined oral contraceptives (CC), which increases the risk to develop VTE by ...

Living-Engineered Valves for Transcatheter Venous Valve Repair

Peter Modregger, Marco Stampanoni

Background: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) represents a major global health problem with increasing prevalence and morbidity. CVI is due to an incompetence of the venous valves, which causes venous reflux and distal venous hypertension. Several studies ...

Experimental peripheral arterial disease: new insights into muscle glucose uptake, macrophage, and T-cell polarization during early and late stages

Rolf Gruetter, Carole Poitry-Yamate

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common disease with increasing prevalence, presenting with impaired walking ability affecting patient's quality of life. PAD epidemiology is known, however, mechanisms underlying functional muscle impairment remain un ...

The Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2/Angiotensin-(1-7)/Mas receptor axis: A potential target for treating thrombotic diseases

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Danielle Gomes Passos Silva

Despite many therapeutic advances leading to increasingly effective drug treatments, thrombotic events (such as ischaemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis and acute myocardial infarction) still represent a major worldwide cause of morbidi ...

Portable Technologies for Self-Monitoring of Coagulation Time: A Review

Philippe Renaud, Lynda Metref

Anti-coagulation treatments are required for medical conditions that become more and more frequent with the ageing of the population in developed countries (atrial fibrillation, deep-venous thrombosis, heart prosthetic valves, etc.). These treatments gener ...

Calculation of intracranial pressure in human brain using Darcy's and Biot's models

Jean-Marie Drezet, Kamal Shahim

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colourless liquid that fills the ventricular space and serves several functions like buoyancy, chemical stability and protection. CSF is produced within the ventricles and partly by the ependyma cells. Part of it seeps toward ...

Extracellular matrix in angiogenesis: dynamic structures with translational potential

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The vascular network is an integral component of most organs. Beyond assuring an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients for normal tissue function, vascular structures provide also a critical interface in the balance of tissue homoeostasis and immune func ...

Local hemodynamics and intimal hyperplasia at the venous side of a porcine arteriovenous shunt

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Venous anastomotic intimal hyperplasia (IH) observed in the arteriovenous shunt (AVS) has been associated with disturbed hemodynamics. This study aims to correlate hemodynamics with wall histology and wall mechanics by examining the flow field in AVS with ...

Biomechanics of Vascular Wall : the Role of Structural Organization of Elastin and Collagen

Rana Saitta-Rezakhaniha

This thesis contributes to the field of biomechanics of vascular wall. The focus is particularly on the microstructure of vascular elastin and collagen constituents and their contribution to the macroscopic mechanical behavior of the wall. The analysis is ...

A structural model of the venous wall considering elastin anisotropy

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

The three-dimensional biomechanical behavior of the vascular wall is best described by means of strain energy functions. Significant effort has been devoted lately in the development of structure-based models of the vascular wall, which account for the ind ...
