A novel in vivo approach to assess strains of the human abdominal wall under known intraabdominal pressure [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 125
(2022) 104902, 2021 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 significantly improve the treatment of ventral hernias.

Peritoneal Dialysis–Associated Peritonitis [PDF]
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2019 Peritonitis is a common and severe complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Detailed recommendations on the prevention and treatment of PD-associated peritonitis have been published by the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD), but there is a substantial variation in clinical practice among dialysis units.

Full-field in vivo experimental study of the strains of a breathing human abdominal wall with intra-abdominal pressure variation [PDF]
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, Volume
147, November 2023, 106148, 2023 The presented study aims to assess the mechanical behaviour of the anterior abdominal wall based on an in vivo experiment on humans. Full-field measurement of abdominal wall displacement during changes of intra-abdominal pressure is performed using a digital image correlation (DIC) system.

A mathematical model for fluid-glucose-albumin transport in peritoneal dialysis [PDF]
Int. J. Appl. Math.Comp.Sci. vol. 24 (2014) P. 837-851, 2013 A mathematical model for fluid and solute transport in peritoneal dialysis is constructed. The model is based on a three-component nonlinear system of two-dimensional partial differential equations for fluid, glucose and albumin transport with the relevant boundary and initial conditions.
