Stenosis causes the narrowing of arteries due to plaque buildup, which impedes blood flow and affects flow dynamics. This work numerically analyzes flow fluctuations in stenosed arteries under realistic physiological conditions (resting and exercise) and external body acceleration. The artery is inclined at angle , and blood rheology is modeled using a generalized power-law fluid.

The left anterior descending artery (LAD) is a significant coronary artery and a facilitator of oxygenated blood to the heart muscles. Thus, any occurrence of an aneurysm in LAD requires immediate medical attention. It is often inclined toward fatality if coupled with a blockage due to stenosis.

The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2001 classified AEL into two types: (1) erythroid/myeloid leukaemia which required ≥50% erythroid precursors with ≥20% of the non-erythroid cells to be myeloid blasts and (2) pure erythroleukemia (pEL) with ≥80% erythroblasts. The WHO 2008 classification kept these subcategories, but made erythroleukemia a diagnosis of exclusion.

A procedure is reported for the determination of soluble and insoluble sulphides by oxidation to sulphate with hypoiodite. This is an improvement over Bethge's iodate method.
