On the relationship between moment and curvature for an ovine arteryReza, Gabriel Alejandro 30 October 2006 (has links)
To find a relationship between moment versus curvature in a traction-free ovine
artery, a pure moment was applied to a radially cut ovine artery (length 50.23 mm).
The curvature of the segment opposite the cut was calculated and used to calculate
the pre-stresses using a Fung type model. The pre-stresses were then used to calculate
the moment. The moment applied during the experiment was calculated by
recording the twist applied and the stiffness of the wire applying the moment. The
artery was sutured symmetrically with a custom jig, and then sutured to two blocks,
one fixed and one subject to the pure moment. The axial strain was assumed unity.
The Fung model yielded a linear moment versus curvature relationship, as well as
the moment versus curvature relationship for the experiment. Despite both small
and large stretches, the strains felt by the artery were not influential enough to
display a non-linear correlation for moment vs curvature.

Prevalence and associations of Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients with Stages 3-5 Chronic Kidney Disease without Cardiovascular DiseaseGarland, Jocelyn 22 April 2009 (has links)
Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and is demonstrable in fifty percent of incident dialysis patients. Therefore, the process of CAC initiation likely occurs in the pre-dialysis period. Pre-dialysis CKD patients have been shown to have a substantially higher burden of CAC than age and sex matched controls from the general population. Consequently, the hypothesis that CKD itself is a risk factor for CAC occurrence is biologically plausible.
Objective: 1) To quantify the relationship between CKD and CAC in stage three to five CKD patients without known cardiovascular disease. 2) To estimate the strengths of associations between traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors, non- traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors and CAC in this patient population.
Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated one hundred and nineteen CKD patients (excluding dialysis) receiving care at a single hospital in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. For the primary objective, correlational analyses were performed to evaluate associations between a priori selected variables of kidney function and CAC scores, as well as other a priori chosen variables of interest.
Results: Mean and median CAC scores were 566.5 SD: 1108 and 111 (inter-quartile range 2 to 631.5) respectively. CAC correlated with age (r = 0.44, p<0.001), body mass index (r = 0.28, p = 0.002), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (r = -0.23, p = 0.01), diabetes mellitus (r = 0.23, p = 0.01), and the cardiovascular risk score (r = 0.35; p < 0.001). By multivariable linear regression controlling for eGFR and diabetes, age (ß = 0.05, 95% CI 0.03-0.06; p<0.001), body mass index (ß = 0.04, 0.02 - 0.07; p=0.001), and serum calcium (ß = 0.9, 0.15 - 1.6; p=0.02), were risk factors for CAC. Results from multivariable logistic regression modeling demonstrated consistent findings.
Limitations: Inadequate sample size and uncontrolled confounding are possible limitations, but are unlikely to have changed the main study findings.
Conclusions: In this study, traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors and serum calcium were associated with coronary artery calcification. No association was demonstrated between CKD and CAC. Studies exploring potential protective mechanisms against coronary artery calcification are needed.
