Mathematical Modeling of Vascular Stents
We present a mathematical model for a study of the mechanical properties of endovascular stents in their expanded state. The model is based on the theory of slender curved rods. Stent struts are modeled as linearly elastic curved rods that satisfy the kinematic and dynamic contact conditions at the “vertices” where the struts meet. This defines a stent as a mesh of curved rods. A weak formulati...
متن کاملInformation sharing systems and teamwork between sub-teams: a mathematical modeling perspective
Teamwork contributes to a considerable improvement in quality and quantity of the ultimate outcome. Collaboration and alliance between team members bring a substantial progress for any business. However, it is imperative to acquire an appropriate team since many factors must be considered in this regard. Team size may represent the effectiveness of a team and it is of paramount importance to de...
متن کاملAutomated measurement of retinal vascular tortuosity
Automatic measurement of blood vessel tortuosity is a useful capability for automatic ophthalmological diagnostic tools. We describe a suite of automated tortuosity measures for blood vessel segments extracted from RGB retinal images. The tortuosity measures were evaluated in two classification tasks: (1) classifying the tortuosity of blood vessel segments and (2) classifying the tortuosity of ...
متن کاملRetinal vascular tortuosity in obstructive sleep apnea
PURPOSE Endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease are common in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We sought to examine the retinal vascular manifestations of OSA. METHODS Nine consecutive patients with OSA underwent ophthalmic examination regardless of any ocular complaints. Seven patients without OSA matched for demographics were used as controls. Fundus photographs from both eyes were used ...
