Retinal Blood Vessel Segmentation for Diabetic Retinopathy Using Multilayered Thresholding
The most important disease that cause vessels structure to change is diabetic retinopathy. When the pancreas does not secrete enough amount of insulin diabetic retinopathy occurs. The symptoms of diabetic retinopathy include cotton wool spots, hemorrhages, hard exudates and dilated retinal veins. There are advance care of diabetic is present but still vision loss is also present. The risk of vi...
متن کاملA microfluidic flow-stretch chip for investigating blood vessel biomechanics.
This microfluidic flow-stretch chip integrates fluid shear stress (FSS) and cyclic stretch (CS), two major mechanical stimulations in cardiovascular systems, for cultured cells. The model chip can deliver FSS and CS simultaneously or independently to vascular cells to mimic the haemodynamic microenvironment of blood vessels in vivo. By imposing FSS-only, CS-only, and FSS+CS stimulation on rat m...
متن کاملEcosinoids and Blood Vessel Structure
Ecosinoids and blood vessel structure We should, perhaps, pay more attention to the influence that ecosinoids have on blood vessel behavior and structure, as substances such as nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and the so called selective cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors are extensively employed by the population at large. In this issue of Vascular Health and Risk Management, Claridge and...
متن کاملMicrocirculation-on-a-Chip: A Microfluidic Platform for Assaying Blood- and Lymphatic-Vessel Permeability
We developed a microfluidic model of microcirculation containing both blood and lymphatic vessels for examining vascular permeability. The designed microfluidic device harbors upper and lower channels that are partly aligned and are separated by a porous membrane, and on this membrane, blood vascular endothelial cells (BECs) and lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) were cocultured back-to-back. A...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Microfluidic Platform to Investigate Effect of Dissolved Gases on Small Blood Vessel Function
In this thesis I present a microfluidic platform developed to control dissolved gases and monitor dissolved oxygen concentrations within the microenvironment of isolated small blood vessels. Dissolved gas concentrations are controlled via permeation through the device substrate material using a 3D network of gas and liquid channels. Dissolved oxygen concentrations are measured on-chip via fluor...
