Amplification of Secondary Flow at the Initiation Site of Intracranial Sidewall Aneurysms.

Cardiovasc Eng Technol

January 2025

Department of Hydrodynamic Systems, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Műegyetem rkp. 1-3, Budapest, 1111, Hungary.

Purpose: The initiation of intracranial aneurysms has long been studied, mainly by the evaluation of the wall shear stress field. However, the debate about the emergence of hemodynamic stimuli still persists. This paper builds on our previous hypothesis that secondary flows play an important role in the formation cascade by examining the relationship between flow physics and vessel geometry.

Objectives: This study explores the relationship between obesity, endothelial dysfunction, and the critical role of oxidative stress biomarkers in subclinical atherosclerosis.

Design & Methods: The study included 114 adolescents aged 12-17 years from Juiz de Fora, Brazil, divided into 40 individuals with obesity and 74 controls. Physical and biochemical assessments were conducted, including measurements of Brachial Flow-Mediated Dilation (BFMD), Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (IMT), and oxidative biomarkers such as nitrite, nitrate, and 8-isoprostane.

Introduction: Several anthropometric indices reflecting cardiometabolic risks have been developed, but the relationship of body composition with arterial stiffness remains unclear. We aimed to determine the interaction between age-related anthropometric changes and progression of arterial stiffness.

Methods: This research analyzed cross-sectional data (N=13,672) and 4-year longitudinal data (N=5,118) obtained from a healthy Japanese population without metabolic disorders.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a syndrome characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and elevated pulmonary artery pressure, ultimately leading to right heart failure and even death. Increasing evidence implicates the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) in various metabolic and inflammatory pathways; however, its role in pulmonary endothelial function and PAH remains largely unexplored. In this study, we examined the effects of endothelial cell-specific FTO knockout on PAH development.
