Deep learning based CT-to-CBCT deformable image registration for autosegmentation in head and neck adaptive radiation therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The purpose of this study is to develop a deep learning based method that can automatically generate segmentations on cone-beam CT (CBCT) for head and neck online adaptive radiation therapy (ART), where expert-drawn contours in planning CT (pCT) can serve as prior knowledge.

Modelling the human pharyngeal airway: validation of numerical simulations using in vitro experiments [PDF]
Med Biol Eng Comput (2008) epub ahead of print, 2008 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 comparisons between simulations and measurements were performed on an in vitro replica, which reflects asymmetries

A biomechanical model of swallowing for understanding the influence of saliva and food bolus viscosity on flavour release [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 280 (2011) 180-8, 2013 After swallowing a liquid or a semi-liquid food product, a thin film responsible for the dynamic profile of aroma release coats the pharyngeal mucosa. The objective of the present article was to understand and quantify physical mechanisms explaining pharyngeal mucosa coating. An elastohydrodynamic model of swallowing was developed for Newtonian liquids

Mathematical models for order of mutation problem in myeloproliferative neoplasm: non-additivity and non-commutativity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In some patients of myeloproliferative neoplasm, two genetic mutations can be found: JAK2 V617F and TET2. When one mutation is present or not, the other mutation has different effects on regulating gene expressions. Besides, when both mutations are present, the order of occurrence might make a difference.

Order-of-mutation effects on cancer progression: models for myeloproliferative neoplasm [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We develop a modeling framework for cancer progression that distinguishes the order of two possible mutations. Recent observations and information on myeloproliferative neoplasms are analyzed within our framework. In some patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, two genetic mutations can be found, JAK2 V617F and TET2.
