Laser speckle flowmetry suffers from a debated quantitative relationship with blood flow, velocity or tissue perfusion and a lack of calibration of the inverse relationship 1/τc = αV between decorrelation time (τc) and flow velocity (V). Using a modified microcirculation imager, we experimentally investigate on the influence of the optical properties of scatterers on α in vitro and in vivo. We ...

in the present study, the nonlinear model of non-newtonian blood flow in cosine-shape stenosed elastic artery is numerically examined. the model is carried out for axisymmetric, two-dimensional and fully developed blood flow. the vessel wall is assumed to be have time-dependent radius that is important factor for study of blood flow. the cosine-shape stenosis convert to rigid artery by using a ...

Blood flow is modeled as non-Newtonian micropolar fluid. The non-linear governing equations of continuum and momentum in the cylindrical coordinate are being discretized using a finite difference approach and have been solved iteratively ,through Crank-Nicolson method. The blood velocity distribution, volumetric flow rate and Resistance to blood flow at the stenosis throat are computed for vari...

Background: Beta-thalassemia intermedia (BTI) is a type of hemoglobinopathy with an increased risk of cerebrovascular accidents, and transcranial cerebral Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) through determining the mean cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) can serve to predict the risk of a developing stroke. This study aims to compare patients with beta-thalassemia intermedia and healthy individuals ...

In this investigation, a mathematical model for studying oscillatory flow of blood in a stenosed artery under the influence of transverse magnetic field through porous medium has been developed. The equations of motion of blood flow are solved analytically. The analytical expressions for axial velocity, volumetric flow rate, pressure gradient, resistance to blood flow and shear stress have been...
