Photoacoustic detection of metastatic melanoma in the human circulatory system
… tumor cells can function as an early warning system, alerting the metastatic spread or recurrence of the disease. Early detection of such cells can result in preventative treatment of the disease while late stage detection can serve as an indicator of the effectiveness of chemotherapeutics. We …

Mathematical modeling of foetal arterial blood flow
… and comprehensive computer model of the foetal circulatory system and to use this model to investigate influences of various haemodynamic viriables on common Doppler blood flow velocity waveform indices. The foetal model consists of an number of vascular compartments, cascaded together using …

A Theoretical Model Of Breast Tumor Metastases In The Context Of Tumor Dormancy
… is at a size that does not normally warrant a systemic treatment. Current breast cancer models developed as part of the Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) consortium assume that metastasis is a late event when estimating the benefits of cancer control strategies in …

Market Analysis of Cardiac Electrical Mapping Platform in the Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Market
… market analysis for a cardiac electrical mapping system with an overview of the circulatory system, physiology of the heart and cardiac arrhythmias and the technology platform of the application. The ECVue system is based on electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) that consists of a disposable …

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT OF HETEROTOPIC TRANSCATHETER TRICUSPID VALVES TO AMELIORATE TRICUSPID REGURGITATION
… of these valves were tested in a mock circulatory system (MCS) which emulated the patho-physiological pressure and flow conditions. Particle image velocimetry was used to study the flow characteristics in the MCS.

A computational model for transdermal diffusion of lidocaine and tetracaine topical patches
… have developed rapidly. This is because the TDD system has more advantages than traditional drug delivery systems such as oral medicine and intravenous injection. In order to reach the circulatory system of the human body, drug molecules have to pass through the epidermis (outer layer) of the …

Targeting Thromboxane A2 Receptor Signaling in Breast Cancer Metastasis
… reduce tumor cell extravasation from the circulatory system, and most importantly, reduce breast cancer metastasis in vivo. These data provide compelling evidence suggesting that the TxA2-TP pathway plays an important role in breast cancer metastasis.

Approaches for assessing the presence and impact of thyroid hormone disrupting chemicals in Delphinid cetaceans
… PCBs from the blubber are mobilized into the circulatory system and may cause toxic effects. One particular toxic mechanism may include the induction of cytochrome P450 enzymes in the integument and liver, which could enhance the biotransformation of PCBs to hydroxylated metabolites (OH-PCBs). …

Damage-Induced Inflammation and Nociceptive Hypersensitivity In Drosophila Larvae
… requires a concerted effort from a number of systems, including both the immune and nervous systems. Immune-responsive blood cells fight infection and clear debris from damaged tissues, and specialized pain receptors become hypersensitive to promote behavior that protects the damaged area …

PIP2 Modulation of Afterhyperpolarizations in Magnocellular Supraoptic Neurons
… neurons that secrete these hormones into the circulatory system in response to physiological stimuli. These cells exhibit unique phasic and burst firing patterns to release these peptides into the circulatory system where they primarily control milk ejection and parturition (OT) as well as …

Tissue-engineered in vitro models for studying lymphatic morphogenesis, pathogenesis, and drug delivery
The lymphatic system is a network consisting of lymphatic vessels and lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes (LNs), which drain excess interstitial fluid and eventually return it to the blood circulatory system via the thoracic duct and subclavian veins. It plays a key role in interstitial fluid …
