Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery Tortuosity and Body Mass Index
BACKGROUND Extracranial internal carotid artery (eICA) tortuosity may trigger cerebral ischemia, and body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body mass based on height and weight. The main purpose of this study is to determine the influence of BMI on the tortuosity of eICA. METHODS A total of 926 carotid artery angiograms were performed in 513 patients, of which 116 cases and matched controls we...
متن کاملThe gas-diffusivity-based Buckingham tortuosity factor from pF 1 to 6.91 as a soil structure fingerprint
Subsurface migration of greenhouse gases and other gaseous phase contaminants is predominantly controlled by soil gas diffusion coefficient (Dp) and its variations with soil-air content (ε) and soil moisture (or potential) status. Buckingham (1904) stated that Dp is proportional to ε X with X characterizing the tortuosity and connectivity of air-filled pore space. In the Buckingham model, as we...
متن کاملCluster diffusivity: Structure, correlation, and scaling
We have investigated the diffusion of clusters on a triangular lattice using Monte Carlo simulations. A cluster is defined as a two‐dimensional collection of particles which are connected to each other, either directly or indirectly through other particles in the cluster, by nearest‐neighbor bonds. Each particle is allowed to hop, with probability αδb/2/(α−δb/2+αδb/2), to a vacant nearest‐neigh...
متن کاملPhysical information derived from the internal structure in jets
We present the first results on the analysis of the structures observed in the jet of the quasar 0836+710. We obtain the ridge lines of the jet at different epochs and several frequencies. We interpret the oscillatory structures obtained as waves that can be attached to the growth of instabilities. We explain how to derive information on the nature and origin of these structures by fitting toge...
متن کاملRelationship between coronary tortuosity and plateletcrit coronary tortuosity and plateletcrit.
BACKGROUND Coronary tortuosity (CorT) is a common angiographic finding and may be associated with myocardial ischaemia, even without coronary artery disease. Platelets play a crucial role in inflammatory and thrombotic processes and the physiopathology of cardiovascular disease. Larger platelets are more active enzymatically and have higher thrombotic ability compared to smaller platelets. Plat...
