Blood Flow01:29

Blood Flow

75.6K
Blood is pumped by the heart into the aorta, the largest artery in the body, and then into increasingly smaller arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. The velocity of blood flow decreases with increased cross-sectional blood vessel area. As blood returns to the heart through venules and veins, its velocity increases. The movement of blood is encouraged by smooth muscle in the vessel walls, the movement of skeletal muscle surrounding the vessels, and one-way valves that prevent backflow.

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior01:28

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

223
Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Autoregulation of Blood Flow01:17

Autoregulation of Blood Flow

7.5K
Autoregulation mechanisms are characterized by their inherent capacity for self-regulation without necessitating specific nervous stimulation or endocrine control. These mechanisms facilitate the adjustment of blood flow and, therefore, perfusion specific to each tissue region. This self-regulation encompasses chemical signals and myogenic controls.
Chemical Signaling in Autoregulation
Chemical signaling operates at the precapillary sphincter level, inciting either contraction or relaxation....

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

420
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Physiology of the Genitourinary System I: Renal Blood Flow and Glomerular Filtration01:29

Physiology of the Genitourinary System I: Renal Blood Flow and Glomerular Filtration

787
The kidneys are vital organs responsible for regulating blood filtration, waste excretion, and fluid balance, all of which are crucial for maintaining homeostasis. Renal physiology examines renal blood flow, glomerular filtration, and urine formation, ensuring the body’s internal environment remains stable.Renal Blood FlowThe kidneys receive about 20-25% of the cardiac output, typically around 1200 mL of blood per minute in an average adult. Blood flows into the kidneys through the renal...

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Drug Dosing and Hepatic Blood Flow01:26

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Drug Dosing and Hepatic Blood Flow

219
Chronic liver disease significantly impacts drug metabolism due to alterations in hepatic blood flow and enzyme accessibility. This disruption affects the body's pharmacokinetics—the movement and processing of drugs within the system. Key enzymes crucial for metabolizing medications become less accessible, changing how drugs are processed and utilized. Furthermore, liver disease influences the synthesis of plasma proteins, such as albumin and globulins, which play critical roles in drug...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • The retinal vascular network is crucial for diagnosing various eye conditions.
  • Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a key imaging modality for visualizing retinal vasculature.
  • Accurate quantitative analysis of retinal vessels is essential for disease assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively characterize the retinal vascular network in healthy and pathological cases using OCTA images.
  • To develop and validate an automatic algorithm for classifying retinal images (healthy, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion) and extracting quantitative vascular features.
  • To compare the algorithm's performance and quantitative outputs against specialist diagnoses and existing literature.

Main Methods:

  • Inclusion of 56 eyes from 28 patients with diverse retinal conditions (healthy, DR, AMD, RVO).
  • Development of an automatic algorithm for image classification and quantitative analysis (global vessel density, fractal dimension, fovea avascular zone area).
  • Comparison of algorithm's classification results with retina specialist diagnoses and quantitative values with literature and OCTA machine outputs.

Main Results:

  • Achieved an 83.9% success rate in classifying retinal images.
  • The algorithm's vessel density values in healthy and DR cases were significantly lower than previous OCTA studies and the OCTA machine's output.
  • Vessel densities in healthy cases aligned with or exceeded recently published gold-standard values, and fractal dimension values were consistent with prior reports.

Conclusions:

  • The developed algorithm provides improved vessel density values, likely by omitting false vessels.
  • Accurate assessment of retinal vessel density using this algorithm facilitates better evaluation of retinal disorders.
  • This technology holds translational relevance for enhancing the diagnosis and management of various retinal diseases.
