Histopathology-based near-realistic arterial wall reconstruction of a patient-specific cerebral aneurysm for fluid-structure interaction studies.

Background And Objective: Cerebral aneurysms occur as balloon-like outpouchings in an artery, which commonly develop at the weak curved regions and bifurcations. When aneurysms are detected, understanding the risk of rupture is of immense clinical value for better patient management. Towards this, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) studies can improve our understanding of the mechanics behind aneurysm initiation, progression, and rupture.

Prospective Observational Study of Microbiology of Infected Diabetic Foot Ulcers in a Tertiary-Care Hospital.

Introduction:  Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes mellitus. DFUs are the leading cause of hospitalisation for diabetic patients worldwide, especially in developing countries such as India. This study presents the microbiology profile of DFUs in a tertiary care hospital in the eastern part of India.

Patient-specific arterial wall generation for intracranial aneurysms with a variable and a near realistic vessel wall thickness for FSI studies.

Background And Objective: Imaging methodologies such as, computed tomography (CT) aid in three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of patient-specific aneurysms. The radiological data is useful in understanding their location, shape, size, and disease progression. However, there are serious impediments in discerning the blood vessel wall thickness due to limitations in the current imaging modalities.

Influence of framing coil orientation and its shape on the hemodynamics of a basilar aneurysm model.

Aneurysms are bulges of an artery, which require clinical management solutions. Due to the inherent advantages, endovascular coil filling is emerging as the treatment of choice for intracranial aneurysms (IAs). However, after successful treatment of coil embolization, there is a serious risk of recurrence.

Transcriptome sequencing of the endangered land snail Karaftohelix adamsi from the Island Ulleung: De novo assembly, annotation, valuation of fitness genes and SSR markers.

Background: The Bradybaenidae snail Karaftohelix adamsi is endemic to Korea, with the species tracked from Island Ulleung in North Gyeongsang Province of South Korea. K. adamsi has been classified under the Endangered Wildlife Class II species of Korea and poses a severe risk of extinction following habitat disturbances.
