The Within-Host dynamics of malaria infection with immune response by Yilong Li, Shigui Ruan, Dongmei Xiao

“…Malaria infection is one of the most serious global healthproblems of our time. In this article the blood-stage dynamics ofmalaria in an infected host are studied by incorporating red bloodcells, malaria parasitemia and immune effectors into a mathematicalmodel with nonlinear bounded Michaelis-Menten-Monod functionsdescribing how immune cells interact with infected red blood cellsand merozoites. …”

Nonconvective Forces: A Critical and Often Ignored Component in the Echocardiographic Assessment of Transvalvular Pressure Gradients by Michael S. Firstenberg, Erik E. Abel, Thomas J. Papadimos, Ravi S. Tripathi

“…A cornerstone to the use of echocardiographic imaging is not only the qualitative assessment, but also the quantitative Doppler-derived velocity characteristics of intracardiac blood flow. While simplified equations, such as the modified Bernoulli equation, are used to estimate intracardiac pressure gradients based upon Doppler velocity data, these modified equations are based upon assumptions of the varying contributions of the different forces that contribute to blood flow. …”
