.... The association between smoking and AA development has been consistently confirmed. Although AA was initially attributed to atherosclerosis, a negative association between diabetes (a major risk factor for atherosclerosis) and vascular aneurysmal disease has been observed. Investigating the biomechanical...

.... Aneurysms Biomechanics Heterogeneity Cerebral aneurysms (CAs) are abnormal dilatations of blood vessels found in the brain that occur in 3–4% of the population [1]. Untreated CAs carry a risk of rupture, leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage, which in turn can be fatal or catastrophic with lasting...

... aneurysm, its etiopathogenesis is not fully understood. The biomechanical and histological study of the aortic wall may contribute to this elucidation. Methods: Seventy-five male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: control (CG), smoker (SG), diabetic (DG), and diabetic + smoker (DSG). The SG and DSG...
