Journal ArticleDOI
A new approach for the evaluation of the severity of coarctation of the aorta using Doppler velocity index and effective orifice area: in vitro validation and clinical implications.
TL;DR: COA Doppler velocity index and COA effective orifice area are flow independent and do not depend on aortic valve conditions, which means they can more accurately predict the severity of COA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of coarctation of the aorta and bicuspid aortic valve on flow dynamics and turbulence in the aorta using particle image velocimetry
Zahra Keshavarz-Motamed,Zahra Keshavarz-Motamed,Julio Garcia,Julio Garcia,Emmanuel Gaillard,Nima Maftoon,Giuseppe Di Labbio,Guy Cloutier,Lyes Kadem +8 more
TL;DR: Findings of this study indicate that the presence of both a COA and a pathological aortic valve significantly alters hemodynamics in the aorta and thus might contribute to the progression of the disease in this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of platelets with circulating tumor cells contribute to cancer metastasis
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of platelets in deformation, adhesion, and survival of tumor cells in their active arrest to the endothelium was investigated at the cellular scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finite-Element Modelling of the Response of the Gerbil Middle Ear to Sound.
TL;DR: A sensitivity analysis showed that the parameters that have the strongest effects on the model results are the Young's modulus, thickness and density of the pars tensa; the Young’s modulus of the stapedial annular ligament; and the Youngs moduli anddensity of the malleus.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Speed Holographic Shape and Full-Field Displacement Measurements of the Tympanic Membrane in Normal and Experimentally Simulated Pathological Ears
Haimi Tang,Payam Razavi,Koohyar Pooladvand,Pavel Psota,Nima Maftoon,John J. Rosowski,Cosme Furlong,Jeffrey Cheng +7 more
TL;DR: The observations of distinguishable TM shapes and motion patterns in both time and frequency domains between normal and experimentally simulated pathological ears support the development of a quantitative clinical holography-based apparatus for diagnosing middle-ear pathologies.
