DOI: 10.1002/jcu.22492
Abstract: The accuracy of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU) is hampered by the presence of arterial wall calcifications. B‐flow imaging may overcome these limitations. We present a case of a severely calcified stenosis of the right common… read more here.

Effects of pulsatile flow and straight length on low‐density lipoprotein transport in a curved arterial wall
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences"
DOI: 10.1002/mma.6298
Abstract: Abnormal accumulation of macromolecules such as low‐density lipoproteins (LDLs) in the arterial wall causes narrowing and blockage of vessels, which leads to atherosclerosis. Effects of pulsatile nature of blood flows as well as the initial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-1-0716-1924-7_38
Abstract: Aging is associated with alterations in the arterial wall that promote vascular disease development and its clinical manifestations, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and arterial dissection. The arterial wall is comprised of three layers, intima, media… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00419-021-01985-3
Abstract: Transport of solute across the arterial wall is a process driven by both convection and diffusion. In disease, the elastic fibers in the arterial wall are disrupted and lead to altered fluid and mass transport… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12551-021-00833-6
Abstract: Arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMCs), the predominant cell type within the arterial wall, detect and respond to external mechanical forces. These forces can be derived from blood flow (i.e. pressure and stretch) or from the… read more here.

Circulating CD34+ cells and active arterial wall thickening among elderly men: A prospective study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-61475-4
Abstract: Age-related physical changes, such as low-grade inflammation and increased oxidative stress, induce endothelial repair and cause active arterial wall thickening by stimulating the production of CD34+ cells (the principal mediators of atherosclerosis). Despite this, aggressive… read more here.
