BEST PRACTICE IN SCIENTIFIC MANUSCRIPT WRITING

Writing a scientific manuscript in a known or foreign language is tough work. When the time comes to write it, many investigators feel left to their own devices. However, writing a scientific paper involves not only literary abilities. It involves organization and experience. This webinar is designed to help you step-by-step through the process of writing and publishing a research paper. It will be conducted in English. The webinar is interactive, with participants encouraged to think and discuss why, where, when and how to publish.  Who are your readers?

Principles of Fluid Mechanics Applied to Dynamic Angiography in the Investigation of Cavitation in Coronary Arteries – New Discoveries and Perspectives

Investigators have long been puzzled by the mystery of what initiates plaque formation and then the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). In the coronary arteries, we see many turns, curves, and ostia where plaques seem to form, yet in the peripheral vessels plaques develop only near ostia. In the heating and air conditioning industry (HVAC), similar damage to the inner coating of pipes is observed.  The present research, applies the principles of fluid dynamics from the HVAC industry to the blood flow in coronary arteries and other vessels (i.e., biological pipes). Using this approach and the novel technique of Dynamic Coronary Angiography (DAG), researchers can predict where gas bubble implosion will occur within the lumen of the vessel resulting in a micro-jet wave that damages the internal lining of the vessel wall initiating the process of plaque formation and CAD.
