Although the pathobiology of atherosclerosis is a complex multifactorial process, blood flow-induced shear stress has emerged as an essential feature of atherogenesis. This fluid drag force acting ...

NEW ORLEANS, LA—Low endothelial shear stress (ESS) independently predicts progressive lumen obstruction in a low-risk Japanese population. Areas of low ESS showed increased local plaque thickness and ...

THE work described by Dr. E. W. J. Mardles1 may be considered in relation to our results on yield stresses in lubricating greases2, which were determined under conditions of simple tangential shear.
