"Drawing on a wide range of material, the authors cover both theory and practical applications. The book breaks down fluid mechanics into key definitions and specific properties and then uses these pieces to construct a solid foundation for analyzing biofluid mechanics in both n…
"The goal of this textbook is to help medical students to efficiently learn and review physiology. The text offers a complete yet concise treatment of the major topics in medical physiology. Several design features are included to make the text easy to use. High-yield clinical p…
Low load resistance training (LLRT) with blood flow restriction (BFR) is a novel form of exercise that has been demonstrated to increase muscle mass and strength. Combined with the fact that as individuals age they lose both of these parameters, LLRT with BFR has been put forwar…
The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the physiological principles driving blood flow and fatigue both during and following different levels of intermittent exertion. Utilizing diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) allowed microvascular blood flow (BF) to be observ…
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the left internal mammary artery graft flow reserve after coronary bypass using transthoracic Doppler echocardiography during supine bicycle exercise. The flow reserve ratio (exercise/rest) has been used as an indicator of the f…
The Pseudo Random Arterial Modulation (PRAM) is a non-invasive MRI based method to measure blood flow. It does not require any contrast agent but rather uses water protons in the body as the contrast. PRAM is based on a pseudo random sequence of inversions and non-inversions of …
Atherosclerosis is a vascular disease that reduces arterial lumen size through plaque deposition and arterial wall thickening. The pathological complications of atherosclerosis, namely heart disease and stroke, remain the leading cause of mortality in the world. The most common …
