Introduction: Aortic stiffness evaluated through pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement is nowadays accepted as a reliable parameter to estimate cardiovascular risk. However the data about arterial stiffness in South America ...

Background. Increased levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), 10 (IL-10), 1 beta (IL-1 beta), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are associated with ...

The clinical interest in the measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV), as an indirect index of arterial stiffness, has led to the development of new devices whose characteristics and limitations are currently being analyzed ...

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) has become a gold standard index to quantify the stiffness of the aorta and is a predictor of cardiovascular events. A recent paper compared the pOpmètreⓇ, a device for measuring the finger-toe ...

We present a solitary solution of the three-wave nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) model - governing resonant space-time stimulated Brillouin or Raman backscattering - in the presence of a cw pump and dissipative ...

Periodic waves are investigated in a system composed of a Kuramoto-Sivashinsky-Korteweg-de Vries (KS-KdV) equation linearly coupled to an extra linear dissipative one. The model describes, e.g., a two-layer liquid film ...

We study the dynamical response of a piston-type wavemaker in a numerical wave tank. The two-dimensional, fully viscous unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are solved on a two-phase flow configuration using the volume of fluid ...
