Local hemodynamics play an essential role in the initiation and progression of coronary artery disease. While vascular geometry alters local hemodynamics, the relationship between vascular structure and hemodynamics is poorly understood. Previous computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies have explored how anatomy influences plaque-promoting hemodynamics.

Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS) presents a critical risk in long-duration missions, with microgravity-induced changes that threaten astronaut vision and mission outcomes. Current SANS monitoring, limited to pre- and post-flight exams, lacks in-flight diagnostics, highlighting an urgent need for autonomous tools capable of real-time assessment. Grok, an AI platform by xAI, offers promising potential as an advanced diagnostic tool for space-based health monitoring.

Aim: Branch atheromatous disease (BAD), characterized by the occlusion of perforating branches near the orifice of a parent artery, often develops early neurological deterioration because the mechanisms underlying BAD remain unclear. Abnormal wall shear stress (WSS) is strongly associated with endothelial dysfunction and plaque growth or rupture. Therefore, we hypothesized that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling could detect differences in WSS between BAD and small-vessel occlusion (SVO), both of which result from perforating artery occlusion/stenosis.

Atrial fibrillation (AF), impacting nearly 50 million individuals globally, is a major contributor to ischaemic strokes, predominantly originating from the left atrial appendage (LAA). Current clinical scores like CHA₂DS₂-VASc, while useful, provide limited insight into the pro-thrombotic mechanisms of Virchow's triad-blood stasis, endothelial damage, and hypercoagulability. This study leverages biophysical computational modelling to deepen our understanding of thrombogenesis in AF patients.

Introduction: Echinococcus is a common infection in an endemic country like Bhutan. Mediastinal echinococcosis is rare. Although presentation due to a mediastinal echinococcal cyst is variable according to the cyst's location, a reaction due to rupture of the cyst and simultaneous reaction to an administration of antibiotics such as ceftriaxone can cause a diagnostic challenge.
