Microbubbles - used as contrast agents in ultrasound imaging - are important tools in biomedical research, having been used together with ultrasound to develop significant diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. It has been suggested that…

Over the past decades, hemodynamics simulators have steadily evolved and have become tools of choice for studying cardiovascular systems in-silico. While such tools are routinely used to simulate whole-body hemodynamics from physiological…

Topical intra-nasal sprays are amongst the most commonly prescribed therapeutic options for sinonasal diseases in humans. However, inconsistency and ambiguity in instructions show a lack of definitive knowledge on best spray use techniques.…

We discuss some examples where numerical simulations based on effectively fabricated nanostructures can provide additional insights into an experiment. Focusing on plasmonics, we study Fano resonant systems for optical trapping, realistic…

Accurate simulations of the flow in the human airway are essential for advancing diagnostic methods. Many existing computational studies rely on simplified geometries or turbulence models, limiting their simulation's ability to resolve flow…

Background In vivo mechanical behaviour of the abdominal wall has been poorly characterised and important details are missing regarding the occurrence and post-operative recurrence rate of hernias which can be as high as 30 %. This study…

In medicolegal situations, the consequences of a stabbing incident are described in terms that are qualitative without being quantitative. Here, the mechanical variables involved in knife-tissue penetration events are used to determine the…

A deeper understanding of the influence of common cardiovascular diseases like stenosis, aneurysm or atherosclerosis on the circulatory mechanism is required, to establish new methods for early diagnosis. Different types of simulators were…

The nasopharyngeal (NP) swab test is a method for collecting cultures to diagnose for different types of respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19. Delegating this task to robots would be beneficial in terms of reducing infection risks and…

The human nose exhibits a huge variation in shape among individuals. All these variants alter the airflow through the nasal cavity and can impact how we smell odors. To acquire a better understanding of physiological and pathological…

To support minimally-invasive intraoperative mitral valve repair, quantitative measurements from the valve can be obtained using an infra-red tracked stylus. It is desirable to view such manually measured points together with the endoscopic…

In the presented study, a numerical model which predicts the flow-induced collapse within the pharyngeal airway is validated using in vitro measurements. Theoretical simplifications were considered to limit the computation time. Systematic…

A parallel-plate rotational rheometer measures the viscosity of a fluid by rotating the top plate relative to the bottom plate in order to induce a shear on the fluid and measuring the torques and forces that result as a function of the…

The nasopharyngeal (NP) swab sample test, commonly used to detect COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses, involves moving a swab through the nasal cavity to collect samples from the nasopharynx. While typically this is done by human…

Computational fluid dynamics of the air flow in the human nasal cavities, starting from patient-specific Computer Tomography (CT) scans, is an important tool for diagnostics and surgery planning. However, a complete and systematic…

Subharmonic response from contrast microbubbles as a function of ambient overpressure is numerically investigated for subharmonic aided noninvasive estimation of local organ level blood pressure. Three different interfacial rheological…

Plantar pressure measurements can provide valuable insight into various health characteristics in patients. In this study, we describe different plantar pressure devices available on the market and their clinical relevance. Current devices…

Quantifying model mismatch in a control-relevant manner is fundamental in robust control. A well-known metric for this purpose is the $\nu$-gap, or Vinnicombe metric, which measures the discrepancy between a nominal model and the real…

The study concerns mechanical behaviour of a living human abdominal wall. A better mechanical understanding of a human abdominal wall and recognition of its material properties is required to find mechanically compatible surgical meshes to…

Continuous monitoring of human vital signs using non-contact mmWave radars is attractive due to their ability to penetrate garments and operate under different lighting conditions. Unfortunately, most prior research requires subjects to…
