Initiation of aneurysms as a mechanical bifurcation phenomenon (2012)
Journal Article
(2012). Initiation of aneurysms as a mechanical bifurcation phenomenon. International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 179 - 184 (6). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2011.05.001

Recent studies on localized bulging in inflated membrane tubes have shown that the initiation pressure for the onset of localization is determined through a bifurcation condition. This kind of localization has also been shown to be much more sensitiv... Read More about Initiation of aneurysms as a mechanical bifurcation phenomenon.

Association of cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase profiles with disease activity and function in ankylosing spondylitis (2012)
Journal Article
(2012). Association of cytokine and matrix metalloproteinase profiles with disease activity and function in ankylosing spondylitis. Arthritis Research and Therapy, R127 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/ar3857

The pathology of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) suggests that certain cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) might provide useful markers of disease activity. Serum levels of some cytokines and MMPs have been found to be elevated in active disea...
