Impact of patient-specific LVOT inflow profiles on aortic valve prosthesis and ascending aorta hemodynamics

TL;DR: Hemodynamics after virtual valve replacement were calculated based on different inlet profiles at the left ventricular outflow tract: a generic plug profile and a profile derived from 4D-flow-MRI.

Chaos and Fractals in Vascular Biology

TL;DR: This review will outline the applications of nonlinear chaos theory in elucidating the mechanisms which underlie local temporal fluctuations in vascular diameter, and the related method of fractal analysis in characterizing vascular branching patterns, which appear to be largely responsible for determining the spatial heterogeneity of tissue perfusion.

Obstructions in Vascular Networks: Relation Between Network Morphology and Blood Supply

TL;DR: The results indicate that, to a large extent, the response of the network is determined locally, and depends on the structure that the vasculature has around the place where occlusions are found.

Recovering the Metabolic, Self-Thinning, and Constant Final Yield Rules in Mono-Specific Stands

TL;DR: In this article, eight hypothetical mechanisms linking the exponent to constraints imposed on plant competition are featured and contrasted using dimensional considerations applied to plants growing isometrically, the predicted exponent is -3/2 (Yoda's rule).
