Retinal vessel tortuosity measures and their applications
TL;DR: An overview of the current methodologies and calculations used to compute retinal vessel tortuosity is provided, which set out the different parameter calculations and provides an insight into the clinical applications, while critically reviewing its pitfalls and shortcomings.

TL;DR: If patient-specific flow measurements of the carotid bifurcation are unavailable, estimation of the outflow ratio by the presented empirical relation will result in a good approximation of calculated WSS using CFD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and remodeling of cerebral blood vessels and their flow in postnatal mice observed with in vivo videomicroscopy.
TL;DR: Although flow was heterogeneous in all types of vessel, the marked similarities in newborn and adult mice of average peak velocities and calculated wall shear rates in arterioles of the same size suggest that blood flow regulates in part the remodeling of blood vessels during development.

Optimized arterial trees supplying hollow organs

TL;DR: The concept of a generalized domain-potential was developed to represent arbitrary non-convex shapes mathematically and incorporate them as boundary conditions to optimization, and the optimized growth of an arterial tree model is confined to some part of an elliptical shell.

TL;DR: It is found that the airway bifurcations are self-similar in four species studied, and the observed diameter heterogeneity is consistent with an underlying regular branching asymmetry.
