On the similarity between aortic and carotid pressure diastolic decay: a mathematical modelling study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, Sokratis Anagnostopoulos

Aortic diastolic pressure decay (DPD) has been shown to have considerable pathophysiological relevance in the assessment of vascular health, as it is significantly affected by arterial stiffening. Nonetheless, the aortic pressure waveform is rarely availab ...

Sub-micrometer morphology of human atherosclerotic plaque revealed by synchrotron radiation-based mu CT-A comparison with histology

Goran Lovric, Anne Bonnin

Histology is a long standing and well-established gold standard for pathological characterizations. In recent years however, synchrotron radiation-based micro-computed tomography (SR mu CT) has become a tool for extending the imaging of two-dimensional thi ...

Polygenic Risk Scores for Prediction of Subclinical Coronary Artery Disease in Persons Living With HIV: The Swiss HIV Cohort Study

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Background. In people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLWH), individual polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) events. Whether PRSs are associated with subclinical CAD is unknown. ...

Impact and implications of mixed plaque class in automated characterization of complex atherosclerotic lesions

Atherosclerosis is a complex disease altering vasculature morphology, and subsequently flow, with progressive plaque formation, mural disruption, and lumen occlusion. Determination of clinically-relevant plaque components-particularly calcium, lipid, and f ...

Stain-free identification of cell nuclei using tomographic phase microscopy in flow cytometry

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim

The accurate identification of the three-dimensional quantitative shape of a cell nucleus is now possible without fluorescent staining by applying computational segmentation to refractive index tomograms recorded in the flow cytometry mode. ...

Considerations for analysis of endothelial shear stress and strain in FSI models of atherosclerosis

Lydia Aslanidou

Atherosclerosis is a lipid driven chronic inflammatory disease that is characterized by the formation of plaques at predilection sites. These predilection sites (side branches, curved segments, and bifurcations) have often been associated with disturbed sh ...

Predicting future myocardial infarction from angiographies with deep learning

Omar Raita, Pascal Frossard, Emmanuel Abbé, Ntorina Thanou, Ortal Yona Senouf, Thabodhan Mahendiran

In patients with stable Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), the identification of lesions which will be responsible of a myocardial infarction (MI) during follow-up remains a daily challenge. In this work, we propose to predict culprit stenosis by applying a de ...

Robust Phase Unwrapping via Deep Image Prior for Quantitative Phase Imaging

Michaël Unser, Matthias Lütolf, Nathalie Brandenberg, Thanh-An Michel Pham

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is an emerging label-free technique that produces images containing morphological and dynamical information without contrast agents. Unfortunately, the phase is wrapped in most imaging system. Phase unwrapping is the comput ...

3D reconstruction of weakly scattering objects from 2D intensity-only measurements using the Wolf transform

Demetri Psaltis, Joowon Lim

A new approach to optical diffraction tomography (ODT) based on intensity measurements is presented. By applying the Wolf transform directly to intensity measurements, we observed unexpected behavior in the 3D reconstruction of the sample. Such a reconstru ...

Follicular regulatory helper T cells control the response of regulatory B cells to a high-cholesterol diet

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Aims B cell functions in the process of atherogenesis have been investigated but several aspects remain to be clarified. ...

Imaging with Coherent X-rays: From the Early Synchrotron Tests to SYNAPSE

Giorgio Margaritondo

The high longitudinal and lateral coherence of synchrotron X-rays sources radically transformed radiography. Before them, the image contrast was almost only based on absorption. Coherent synchrotron sources transformed radiography into a multi-faceted tool ...

Optical Characterization of an Intra-Arterial Light and Drug Delivery System for Photodynamic Therapy of Atherosclerotic Plaque

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Andreas Pitzschke, Ying Xiao

Although the versatility of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is well established, the technical aspects of light delivery systems vary significantly depending on the targeted organ. This article describes the optical properties of a light and drug delivery syste ...

Brain micro-vasculature imaging: An unsupervised deep learning algorithm for segmenting mouse brain volume probed by high-resolution phase-contrast X-ray tomography

Alessandra Patera, Anne Bonnin

High-throughput synchrotron-based tomographic microscopy at third generation light sources allows to probe cm-sized samples at micrometer-resolution. In this work, we present an approach to image a full mouse brain. With Indian-ink as a contrast agent, it ...

Sirt6 deletion in bone marrow-derived cells increases atherosclerosis - Central role of macrophage scavenger receptor 1

Aims: Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) is a NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase that plays a key role in DNA repair, inflammation and lipid regulation. Sirt6-null mice show severe metabolic defects and accelerated aging. Macrophage-foam cell formation via scavenger receptors is ...

Synchrotron-based phase contrast imaging of cardiovascular tissue in mice-grating interferometry or phase propagation?

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet, Goran Lovric, Lydia Aslanidou, Mauro Ferraro

Synchrotron-based x-ray phase-contrast imaging allows for detailed 3D insight into the microstructure of soft tissue and is increasingly used to improve our understanding of mouse models of cardiovascular disease. Two techniques dominate the field: grating ...

A 1D computer model of the arterial circulation in horses: An important resource for studying global interactions between heart and vessels under normal and pathological conditions

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Arterial rupture in horses has been observed during exercise, after phenylephrine administration or during parturition (uterine artery). In human pathophysiological research, the use of computer models for studying arterial hemodynamics and understanding n ...

Multi T1-weighted contrast MRI with fluid and white matter suppression at 1.5 T

Tobias Kober, Giulio Gambarota

Introduction: The fluid and white matter suppression sequence (FLAWS) provides two T1-weighted co-registered datasets: a white matter (WM) suppressed contrast (FLAWS1) and a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suppressed contrast (FLAWS2). FLAWS has the potential to ...

Insights into image contrast from dislocations in ADF-STEM

Cécile Hébert, Emad Oveisi, Maria Chiara Spadaro

Competitive mechanisms contribute to image contrast from dislocations in annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (ADF-STEM). A clear theoretical understanding of the mechanisms underlying the ADF-STEM contrast is therefore essential fo ...

Quantitative phase imaging in biomedicine

Christian Depeursinge

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating cells and tissues. QPI operates on unlabelled specimens and, as such, is complementary to established fluorescence microscopy, exhibiting lower phototoxicity and no photobl ...
