This study presents a numerical simulation methodology for investigating blood flow in veins and arteries using a computational approach. The simulation is based on the Navier-Stokes equations, ...

As a result, the retia mirabilia could equalize the differences in blood pressure generated by diving, perhaps by redistributing the blood pulses from arteries to veins and vice versa.

A new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv in October 2020 shows that the virus causing COVID-19, namely, SARS-CoV-2, produces replicative infection in the carotid arteries and affects ...

The decrease in oxygenated blood can lead to many health problems. In this activity you will model what happens to blood flow when coronary heart disease narrows a person's arteries.

Shedding light Sometimes medical discoveries take an extra-long route from the battlefield to the doctor’s office. In 1862, after the Civil War’s Battle of Shiloh, medical personnel noticed a ...

The purpose of this paper was to extend the extended cardiac-torso (XCAT) series of computational phantoms to include a detailed lung architecture including airways and pulmonary vasculature. Eleven ...

Based on analyses of the veins and arteries of in vitro tumor cells, Warburg observed that cancerous cells, in particular, utilize a different method of respiration more readily than other cells ...

April 19, 2011 -- Almost six years after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Sharon Richardson heard that blockages in neck veins draining blood from her brain could have triggered the ...

How Arteries And Veins Develop In Parallel Pairs In The Embryo Date: May 26, 2008 Source: CNRS Summary: Using physical measurements, theoretical models and numerical simulations, researchers have ...
