Fractal cardiovascular dynamics and baroreflex sensitivity after stellate ganglion block.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: It has been shown that stellate ganglion block can attenuate baroreflex sensitivity. Our primary purpose in this study was to determine whether fractal dynamics (dynamic change of self-similar fluctuation patterns) of not only heart rate ... Read more...

Modeling the effects of obesity and weight gain on PSA velocity.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Hemodilution theory states that higher blood volume in obese men effectively dilutes circulating PSA levels resulting in lower PSA test results. Here we apply hemodilution theory to model the effect of weight gain on PSA velocity. ... Read more...

Constitutive modelling of passive myocardium: a structurally based framework for material characterization.

11 Sep 2009 In this paper, we first of all review the morphology and structure of the myocardium and discuss the main features of the mechanical response of passive myocardium tissue, which is an orthotropic material. Locally within the architecture of the ... Read more...
