Three intra-aortic blood pumps were evaluated and compared using CFD simulations. The aim of this study is to evaluate the hemodynamic performance and calculate the hemolytic potential of the pumps. The flow fields generated by the pumps…
Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction has detrimental effects on day-to-day life of millions of people. Some of the most common symptoms faced by these patients include urinary incontinence, urgency and retention. Since elevated bladder pressure…
We present a direct comparison between interface-resolved and one-way-coupled point-particle direct numerical simulations (DNS) of gravity-free turbulent channel flow laden with small inertial particles, with high particle-to-fluid density…
As a potential non-invasive biomarker for ischaemic stroke, intracranial arterial calcification (IAC) could be used for stroke risk assessment on CT head scans routinely acquired for other reasons (e.g. trauma, confusion). Artificial…
The ISCHEMIA Trial randomly assigned patients with ischemic heart disease to an invasive treatment strategy centered on revascularization with a control group assigned non-invasive medical therapy. As is common in such ``strategy trials,''…
Recent numerical analyses to optimize the design of microfluidic devices for more effective entrapment or segregation of surrogate circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from healthy cells have been reported in the literature without concurrently…
Being motivated by the delivery of drugs and vaccines through subcutaneous (SC) injection in human bodies, a theoretical investigation is performed using a two-dimensional mathematical model in the cartesian coordinate. In general, a large…
This review discusses research developments and applications of isotachophoresis (ITP) to the initiation, control, and acceleration of chemical reactions, emphasizing reactions involving biomolecular reactants such as nucleic acids,…
The stability of most surface-tension-driven interfacial flow simulations is governed by the capillary time-step constraint. This concerns particularly small-scale flows and, more generally, highly-resolved liquid-gas simulations with…
Interstitial fluid pressure (IFP), interstitial fluid velocity (IFV), interstitial permeability (IP) and vascular permeability (VP) are cancer mechanopathological parameters of great clinical significance. To date, there is a lack of…
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) have been employed to investigate the dynamics of finite-size spherical particles, slightly heavier than the carrier fluid, in a horizontal turbulent square duct flow.…
Objective: Interstitial fluid flow through vascular adventitia has been disclosed recently. However, its kinetic pattern was unclear. Methods and Results: We used histological and topographical identifications to observe ISF flow along…
Seizures are common after intracerebral hemorrhage, occurring in 6 to 15% of the patients, mostly in the first 72 hours. Their incidence reaches 30% when subclinical or non-convulsive seizures are diagnosed by continuous…
Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) and magnetic resonance perfusion (MRP) are widely used in acute ischemic stroke assessment and other cerebrovascular conditions to generate quantitative maps of cerebral hemodynamics. While commercial…
Although inertial particle-laden flows occur in a wide range of industrial and natural processes, there is both a lack of fundamental understanding of these flows and continuum-level governing equations needed to predict transport and…
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a life-risking condition characterized by bleeding within the brain parenchyma. ICU readmission in ICH patients is a critical outcome, reflecting both clinical severity and resource utilization. Accurate…
The atlas of human acupoints and meridians has been utilized in clinical practice for almost a millennium although the anatomical structures and functions remain to be clarified. It has recently been reported that a long-distance…
Background: Most acute stroke (AS) patients in the United States are initially evaluated at a primary stroke center (PSC) and a significant proportion requires transfer to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) for advanced treatment. A CSC…
Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems (ICPS) integrate the disciplines of computer science, communication technology, and engineering, and have emerged as integral components of contemporary manufacturing and industries. However, ICPS…
We assessed the benefit of combining stress cardiac CT perfusion (CCTP) myocardial blood flow (MBF) with coronary CT angiography (CCTA) using our innovative CCTP software. By combining CCTA and CCTP, one can uniquely identify a flow…
