Multimodal dynamic retinal vessel analysis offers new insights in microvascular defects in Fabry’s disease by Abdelrahman Assaf, Konstantin Kotliar, Arno Schmidt-Trucksäss, Ines Lanzl

“…The data obtained can be further mathematically evaluated in terms of dynamic time- and location-dependent vessel behavior. This principle of multimodal analysis of dynamic retinal vascular behavior has been applied to demonstrate specific structural and functional retinal microvascular changes in Fabry’s disease. …”

ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION MARKERS IN PATIENTS WITH NON-ST ELEVATION ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME AND MULTIFOCAL ATHEROSCLEROSIS by S. A. Berns, E. A. Schmidt, E. S. Yukhno, E. S. Kiprina, O. L. Barbarash

“…The study included 82 patients with NSTE-ACS, who underwent coronary angiography, colour duplex ultrasound of brachiocephalic arteries (BCA) and lower extremity arteries (LEA), and a complex assessment of endothelial function during their hospitalisation. Vasodilating endothelial function was assessed by endothelium-dependent vasodilatation (EDVD) in a reactive hyperemia test. …”

Dynamic and Static Reserve Recharge Characteristics of a Dewatering Well Seepage from an Aquifer Bottom by Sand Tank Seepage Experiment by Wenxue Wang, Jingyuan Xue, Hao Qingyang, Tong Jiang, Jinyu Dong

“…The results show that (1) when the dewatering beginning, the water inflow increases to a peak value rapidly and then decreases following a first-order exponential decay function. In the initial phase, the water inflow is mainly composed of static reserve release, which decreases quickly with time also following a first-order exponential decay function. …”
