Computational analysis for non-invasive detection of stenosis in peripheral arteries.
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)Atherosclerosis usually affects the entire cardiovascular system, including peripheral blood vessels. Peripheral arterial stenosis may indicate possible serious vascular disorders related to more vital organs. If peripheral ... -
Experimental and numerical investigation on soft tissue dynamic response due to turbulence-induced arterial vibration.
( Springer Verlag , 2019 , Article)Peripheral arterial occlusive disease is a serious cardiovascular disorder. The arterial occlusion leads to turbulent flow and arterial sound generation on the inner vessel wall. Stenosis-induced vibro-acoustic waves ... -
Activation Dynamics and Immunoglobulin Evolution of Pre-existing and Newly Generated Human Memory B cell Responses to Influenza Hemagglutinin.
( Elsevier , 2019 , Article)Vaccine-induced memory B cell responses to evolving viruses like influenza A involve activation of pre-existing immunity and generation of new responses. To define the contribution of these two types of responses, we ... -
Molecular Analysis of Aquaglyceroporin 1 Gene in Non-Healing Clinical Isolates Obtained from Patients with Cutaneous Leishmaniasis from Central of Iran
( Tehran University of Medical Sciences , 2019 , Article)Background: Regarding the antimonial-resistant of Leishmania spp., understanding of related mechanism is necessary. One of the most important involved molecules is aquaglyceropin1 (AQP1). The aim of this study was molecular ... -
Toxoplasma infection and milk consumption: Meta-analysis of assumptions and evidences.
( Taylor & Francis , 2017 , Article)Toxoplasmosis is the most widespread infection worldwide. It occurs within congenital contamination, organ transplant or immune system depression. Primary infection is mainly foodborne with the ingestion of raw or undercooked ... -
Biomechanical Investigation of Disturbed Hemodynamics-Induced Tissue Degeneration in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Using Computational and Experimental Techniques.
( Frontiers Media , 2019 , Article Review)Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the dilatation of the aorta beyond 50% of the normal vessel diameter. It is reported that 4-8% of men and 0.5-1% of women above 50 years of age bear an AAA and it accounts for ~15,000 ... -
Adaptation of a Mice Doppler Echocardiography Platform to Measure Cardiac Flow Velocities for Embryonic Chicken and Adult Zebrafish.
( Frontiers Media , 2019 , Article)Ultrasonography is the most widely used imaging technique in cardiovascular medicine. In this technique, a piezoelectric crystal produces, sends, and receives high frequency ultrasound waves to the body to create an image ... -
Epidemiology of respiratory infections among adults in Qatar (2012-2017).
( Public Library of Science , 2019 , Article)Limited data is available about the etiology of influenza like illnesses (ILIs) in Qatar. This study aimed at providing preliminary estimates of influenza and other respiratory infections circulating among adults in Qatar. ... -
