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 The aim of this investigation was to determine the effects of diclofenac on cerebral blood flow. Middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity was measured in nine patients with supratentorial tumours. METHODS Using a transcranial Doppler ultrasound, we measured the baseline mean and systolic cerebral blood flow velocity. Measurements were repeated following administration of diclofen...

Knowledge concerning phasic coronary blood flow is based primarily on measurements obtained from epicardial coronary arteries, which, in part, function as capacitors. If present, epicardial capacitance effects could obscure the dynamic nature of phasic intramyocardial perfusion. To analyze this effect of epicardial capacitance, we simultaneously measured coronary blood flow velocity in an epica...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transcranial Doppler blood flow velocities are inversely related to age and hematocrit, but the relative importance of age, oxygenation, and hemorheological factors has not previously been examined. We evaluated the relative contributions of these factors to middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity in adults with chronic renal failure, a population subject to significan...
