In silico biophysics and rheology of blood and red blood cells in Gaucher Disease.

PLoS Comput Biol

September 2025

Division of Applied Mathematics, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, United States of America.

Gaucher Disease (GD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, leading to the accumulation of glucosylceramide in various cells, including red blood cells (RBCs). This accumulation results in altered biomechanical properties and rheological behavior of RBCs, which may play an important role in blood rheology and the development of bone infarcts, avascular necrosis (AVN) and other bone diseases associated with GD. In this study, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations are employed to investigate the biomechanics and rheology of blood and RBCs in GD under various flow conditions.

Skin-adaptive focused flexible micromachined ultrasound transducers for wearable cardiovascular health monitoring.

Continuous monitoring of cardiovascular vital signs can reduce the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases, yet cannot be implemented by current technologies because of device bulkiness and rigidity. Here, we report self-adhesive and skin-conformal ultrasonic transducer arrays that enable wearable monitoring of multiple hemodynamic parameters without interfering with daily activities. A skin-adaptive focused ultrasound method with rational array design is proposed to implement measurement under wide ranges of skin curvatures and depths with improved sensing performances.

Cardiovascular assessments in children and adolescents with hypertension are essential for detecting early signs of organ damage and guiding timely interventions. The pathophysiology of pediatric hypertension involves a complex interplay of arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, metabolic disturbances, activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and immune dysregulation. These mechanisms collectively contribute to target organ damage, particularly in the cardiovascular system.

Airway obstruction and gender affect arterial stiffness in children with cystic fibrosis.

Turk J Pediatr

September 2025

Department of Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Türkiye.

Background: Vascular changes are observed in children with cystic fibrosis (cwCF), and gender-specific differences may impact arterial stiffness. We aimed to compare arterial stiffness and clinical parameters based on gender in cwCF and to determine the factors affecting arterial stiffness in cwCF.

Methods: Fifty-eight cwCF were included.
