Influence of shear rate and surface chemistry on thrombus formation in micro-crevice [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, Volume 121, 2021, 110397, ISSN 0021-9290, 2020 Thromboembolic complications remain a central issue in management of patients on mechanical circulatory support. Despite the best practices employed in design and manufacturing of modern ventricular assist devices, complexity and modular nature of these systems often introduces internal steps and crevices in the flow path which can serve as nidus for ...

Predicting post-operative right ventricular failure using video-based deep learning [PDF]
Nat Commun 12, 5192 (2021), 2021 Non-invasive and cost effective in nature, the echocardiogram allows for a comprehensive assessment of the cardiac musculature and valves. Despite progressive improvements over the decades, the rich temporally resolved data in echocardiography videos remain underutilized. Human reads of echocardiograms reduce the complex patterns of cardiac wall motion,
