A theoretical analysis of thermal instability driven by buoyancy forces is conducted in an
initially quiescent, horizontal porous layer saturated by viscoelastic fluids. Modified Darcy’s law …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Saccular intracranial aneurysm is a common disease that
may cause devastating intracranial hemorrhage. Hemodynamics, wall remodeling, and wall …

Background Septoplasty is a well-described surgical technique for management of nasal
airway obstruction (NAO) and improved access for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). The …

This study presents an idea of using analogy concept to the heat transfer studies regarding
the HTGR development. Theoretical backgrounds regarding the idea were reviewed. In order …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Aneurysm hemodynamics has been associated with wall
histology and inflammation. We investigated associations between local hemodynamics and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Aneurysm progression and rupture is thought to be
governed by progressive degradation and weakening of the wall in response to abnormal …

Purpose The mechanisms of cerebral aneurysm rupture are not fully understood. We
analyzed the associations of hemodynamics, morphology, and patient age and gender with …

Purpose Advanced morphology analysis and image-based hemodynamic simulations are
increasingly used to assess the rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). However, the …

Purpose Unruptured cerebral aneurysms pose a dilemma for physicians who need to weigh
the risk of a devastating subarachnoid hemorrhage against the risk of surgery or …

In computer-assisted TKA, surgeons determine positioning of the femoral component in the
sagittal plane based on the sagittal mechanical axis identified by the navigation system. We …
