The blood flow in arteries affects both the biology of the vessels and the development of atherosclerosis. The flow is three dimensional, unsteady, and difficult to measure or to model computationally. We have used phase-shift-based magnetic resonance angiography to image and measure the flow in the common carotid arteries of a healthy human subject. There was curvature of the vessels and thin-slice dynamic flow imaging showed evidence of the presence of secondary motions. Flexing the cervical spine straightened the vessels and reduced the asymmetry of the flow.

Abstract We applied a sensitive, precise liquid-chromatographic method of analysis for inosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine to the study of fructose metabolism in humans and in rats. In the rat, intravenous loading with fructose induced, within minutes, substantial increases in the concentrations of inosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine in plasma and urine. In plasma, these concentrations peaked after 5 min, then practically disappeared within 10 min. As expected, the fructose-induced increase in hypoxanthine was greatly amplified by pretreating the rats with allopurinol, an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. In a healthy human subject, intravenous administration of fructose also induced prompt, substantial, and rapidly reversing increases in the concentrations of these metabolites of adenine nucleotides in plasma. The finding that fructose induced almost-immediate increases in the plasma concentrations of inosine, hypoxanthine, and xanthine is consistent with previous studies in rats, in which parenteral administration of fructose induced almost-immediate decreases of total adenine nucleotides (ATP + ADP + AMP) in the liver, and increased concentrations of uric acid and allantoin in the plasma.

In this paper experimental investigations concerning the prototype validation of an exoskeleton for human gait rehabilitation are presented. The proposed exoskeleton is intended for human legs motion assistance, being a low cost solution. The exoskeleton provides motion assistance for human hip and knee joint. The experimental gait analysis of the exoskeleton and assisted human subject is performed with goniometers sensors. These sensors are attached to the exoskeleton hip and knee joints and measure the angle variation. The results obtained for the exoskeleton motion are compared with those obtained in case of a healthy human subject. Angular variation corresponding to a step, as a comparison for human and exoskeleton joints is performed. The conclusion is that the designed exoskeleton is proper for human gait motion assistance, because the joints motion is comparable with the human subject.
