Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in the U.S., and atherosclerosis, the principle cause of myocardial and cerebral infarctions, accounts for most of these deaths. In current clinical practice, cholesterol ...

Kubo's generalized cumulant expansion theorem is used to derive a theoretical expression for the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal received from a fluid moving in a time-dependent magnetic field gradient. Described ...

The elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of platelet adhesion and aggregation in response to naturally occurring subendothelial surfaces under flow conditions is important medically in atherosclerosis and mural thrombosis. ...

The problem of femoral vibration during the reaming process in total hip arthroplasty is examined. These vibrations are modeled as the transverse vibration of a free-simple Euler-Bernoulli beam using a transfer matrix ...

An epifluorescence video microscopy system, coupled with digital image processing techniques, and a computerized microphotometric measurement system were used to analyze the effects of two antithrombotic agents on surface ...

A mathematical model of external respiration integrating component models of airway/lung mechanics, pulmonary circulation and gas exchange is presented. The airway system was lumped into: (1) a conducting zone consisting ...

Cell migration affects many physiologic and pathologic processes in mammalian organisms. Thus, our ability to modulate these processes depends on understanding how cell migration is controlled by soluble factors, cell-substrate ...

The development of quantitative models that describe how neural inputs control the electrophysiological behavior of two cellular oscillators is presented. These cellular oscillators are a spontaneously beating mammalian ...
