Atherosclerosis usually affects the entire cardiovascular system, including peripheral blood vessels. Peripheral arterial stenosis may indicate possible serious vascular disorders related to more vital organs. If peripheral arterial stenosis can be discerned at an early stage, it can serve as a warning sign to take precautions, such as using more invasive diagnostic techniques or adopting a healthier life style. In this study, peripheral regions, such as the thigh, upper arm, and neck are modelled considering stenosis of their major arteries. Stenosis generates a fluctuating pressure field on the arterial wall, which leads to vibration on the skin's surface. This stenosis-induced pressure field is modelled as a harmonic load and applied to the inner surface of the arterial structure. The vibration response on bare skin is computationally determined using the superposition of modal responses. Realistic geometries and hyperelastic material properties are used in modelling the layers of skin, fat, muscle, and bones. The results indicate that stenosis severities higher than 70% lead to a considerable increase in vibration-response amplitudes, especially at frequencies greater than 250 Hz. The detailed analysis of skin responses provides useful information to detect the stenosis location, where the sum of the vibration amplitudes attains its maximum value around the stenosis.

Experimental and numerical investigation on soft tissue dynamic response due to turbulence-induced arterial vibration
Salman, Huseyin Enes; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-01)
Peripheral arterial occlusive disease is a serious cardiovascular disorder. The arterial occlusion leads to turbulent flow and arterial sound generation on the inner vessel wall. Stenosis-induced vibro-acoustic waves propagate through the surrounding soft tissues and reach the skin surface. In this study, the feasibility of noninvasive acoustic detection of the peripheral arterial stenosis is investigated using the vibration responses by means of experimental and computational models.

Non-invasive acoustic detection of vascular diseases from skin surface using computational techniques with fluid-structure interaction
Salman, Hüseyin Enes; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Atherosclerosis is a cardiovascular disease in which arterial occlusion adversely affects blood circulation. Because of the narrowing of the artery, the blood flow is disturbed and a recirculating flow occurs at the downstream of the stenosis exit. The dynamic pressure fluctuations on the inner arterial wall cause the blood vessel wall to vibrate and the resulting acoustic energy propagates through the surrounding soft tissue and reaches the skin surface. To understand the problem in more detail, computatio...
Large eddy simulation of pressure fluctuations inside stenosed blood vessels towards noninvasive diagnosis of atherosclerosis
Özden, Kamil; Sert, Cüneyt; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Atherosclerosis is a cardiovascular disease, in which plaque builds up inside a blood vessel, narrowing it down and forming a stenosis that adversely affects the flow. Because of the stenosis, turbulent flow occurs at the post-stenotic region, which causespressure fluctuations on the vessel wall. The resulting murmurpropogates through the surrounding tissue and reaches the skin surface. These sounds emitted from the stenosed vessels are evaluated as a sign of stenosis. In this study, large eddy simulations ...
Interdependence of pulsed ultrasound and shear stress effects on cell morphology and gene expression
Mccormick, Susan M.; Saini, Vikas; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Demou, Zoe N.; Royston, Thomas J. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-03-01)
Fluid shear stress is a key biomechanical regulatory factor in a several biological systems including bone tissue. Bone cells are also regulated by exogenous acoustic vibration, which has therapeutic benefits. In this study, we determined the effects of shear stress and pulsed ultrasound (US), alone and in series on osteoblast morphology and gene expression. We observed that shear stress (19 dyne/cm(2)) elongated SaOS-2 cells at 3, 6, 24, and 48 h decreasing their shape index from control values of 0.51 +/-...
In vitro and in vivo evaluation of the effects of demineralized bone matrix or calcium sulfate addition to polycaprolactone-bioglass composites

The objective of this study was to improve the efficacy of polycaprolactone/bioglass (PCL/BG) bone substitute using demineralized bone matrix (DBM) or calcium sulfate (CS) as a third component. Composite discs involving either DBM or CS were prepared by compression moulding. Bioactivity of discs was evaluated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (ESCA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) following simulated body fluid incubation. The closest Calcium/Phosphate ratio to that of hydroxyl carbonate apatit...
