Decidual spiral artery remodeling during early post-implantation period in mice: Investigation of associations with decidual uNK cells and invasive trophoblast
(2012)Circumferential remodeling of spiral arteries (SAs) during pregnancy is crucial for regulating maternal blood flow into the placenta and clinically important. However its mechanism is still ill defined in humans and mice. ...

The effect of strain hardening on the dynamic response of human artery segments
(2017)Background: When subjected to time-dependent blood pressure, human arteries undergo large deformations, exhibiting mainly nonlinear hyperelastic type of response. The mechanical response of arteries depends on the health ...

Manual and automated intima-media thickness and diameter measurements of the common carotid artery in patients with renal failure disease
(2014)The objective of this study was to investigate differences in intima-media thickness (IMT) and diameter (D) measurements of the common carotid artery (CCA) in ultrasound imaging in normal subjects and renal failure disease ...

Multiscale, structure-based modeling for the elastic mechanical behavior of arterial walls
(2007)Passive elastic behavior of arterial wall remains difficult to model. Although phenomenological and structural models exist, the question of how the three-dimensional network structure of the collagen in the artery determines ...

New phenotypic aspects of the decidual spiral artery wall during early post-implantation mouse pregnancy
(2011)During pregnancy the walls of decidual spiral arteries (SAs) undergo clinically important structural modifications crucial for embryo survival/growth and maternal health. However, the mechanisms of SA remodeling (SAR) are ...

Serum total homocysteine, folate, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C→T genotype and subclinical atherosclerosis
(2009)Objective : To determine the relationship of serum total homocysteine (tHcy), serum folate and 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C→T genotype with ultrasonic arterial wall measurements associated with ...
