Impact of individual differences in glucocorticoid adaptation to stress on behavior, neurophysiology and metabolism

Damien Sébastien Huzard

The stress system is a key modulator of homeostasis and allows organisms to adapt to environmental changes. Proper survival is dependent on the appropriate stress response, for example initiating food (energy) intake or provoking physical reaction. However ...

Estimating Left Ventricular Elastance from Aortic Flow Waveform, Ventricular Ejection Fraction, and Brachial Pressure: An In Silico Study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Although left ventricular end-systolic elastance (E-es) serves as a major index of cardiac contractility, a widely-accepted noninvasive estimation of E-es does not exist. To overcome this limitation, we developed a two-step inverse method that allows for i ...

Shear stress alterations in the celiac trunk of patients with a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device as shown by in-silico and in-vitro flow analyses

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara

BACKGROUND: The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) to treat advanced cardiac heart failure is constantly increasing, although this device leads to high risk for gastrointestinal bleeding. METHODS: Using in-silico flow analysis, we quantified he ...

Metal artefact reduction in computed tomography images by a fourth-order total variation flow

Alfio Quarteroni, Elena Faggiano

Permanent metallic implants, such as dental fillings and cardiac devices, generate streaks-like artefacts in computed tomography (CT) images. In this article, we propose a strategy to perform metal artefact reduction (MAR) that relies on the total variatio ...

Modelling of a Dielectric Electroactive Polymer Tubular Shape Sensor for Pressure Measurements

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Jonathan André Jean-Marie Chavanne

The variation of pressure of the blood is a key parameter in the development of ventricular assist device. This latter is useful in order to synchronize the behavior of the actuator with the cardiac frequency. This paper presents a sensor made of a dielect ...

A coupled 3D-1D numerical monodomain solver for cardiac electrical activation in the myocardium with detailed Purkinje network

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara, Toni Mikael Lassila

We present a model for the electrophysiology in the heart to handle the electrical propagation through the Purkinje system and in the myocardium, with two-way coupling at the Purkinje-muscle junctions. In both the subproblems the monodomain model is consid ...

Peroxiredoxin 1 Protects Telomeres from Oxidative Damage and Preserves Telomeric DNA for Extension by Telomerase

Joachim Lingner, Viesturs Simanis, Wareed Ahmed, Sophie Redon, Eric Aeby

Oxidative damage of telomeres can promote cancer, cardiac failure, and muscular dystrophy. Specific mechanisms protecting telomeres from oxidative damage have not been described. We analyzed telomeric chromatin composition during the cell cycle and show th ...

Contribution of the Arterial System and the Heart to Blood Pressure during Normal Aging - A Simulation Study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

During aging, systolic blood pressure continuously increases over time, whereas diastolic pressure first increases and then slightly decreases after middle age. These pressure changes are usually explained by changes of the arterial system alone (increase ...

Development of Implantable Electrodes Based on Polymer Derived Ceramics

Jonas Grossenbacher

The invention of heart pacemakers in the 50's aims to help patients to overcome heart strokes, which represent the first cause of death worldwide. In Europe and in the USA, more than 3000 pacemakers are implanted every day. Despite the constant evolution o ...
