Flow competition between hepatic arterial and portal venous flow during hypothermic machine perfusion preservation of porcine livers [PDF]
, 2012 Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is regarded as a better preservation method for donor livers than cold storage. During HMP, livers are perfused through the inlet blood vessels, namely the hepatic artery (HA) and the portal vein (PO.

Examining trade-offs between social, psychological, and energy potential of urban form [PDF]
, 2019 Urban planners are often challenged with the task of developing design solutions which must meet multiple, and often contradictory, criteria. In this paper, we investigated the trade-offs between social, psychological, and energy potential of the ...

Characteristics of Blood Vessel Wall Deformation with Porous Wall Conditions in an Aortic Arch
Applied Rheology, 2014 Blood vessels have been modeled as non-porous structures that are permeable to solutes mixed in the blood. However, the use of non-physiological boundary conditions in numerical simulations that assume atmospheric pressure at the outlet does not ...

Physiological confounders of renal blood flow measurement
Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine, 2023 Abstract Objectives Renal blood flow (RBF) is controlled by a number of physiological factors that can contribute to the variability of its measurement. The purpose of this review is to assess the changes in RBF in response to a wide range of physiological confounders and derive practical recommendations on patient ...

Diffusion boundary layers ameliorate the negative effects of ocean acidification on the temperate coralline macroalga Arthrocardia corymbosa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Anthropogenically-modulated reductions in pH, termed ocean acidification, could pose a major threat to the physiological performance, stocks, and biodiversity of calcifiers and may devalue their ecosystem services.

Comparative study of wall shear stress at the ascending aorta for different mechanical heart valve prostheses [PDF]
, 2019 An experimental study is reported which investigates the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in a transparent model of the human aorta comparing a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) with a trileaflet mechanical heart valve (TMHV) in physiological ...

Ultrasound‐Controlled Swarmbots Under Physiological Flow Conditions
Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2022 AbstractNavigation of microrobots in living vasculatures is essential in realizing targeted drug delivery and advancing non‐invasive surgeries. Acoustically‐controlled “swarmbots” are developed based on the self‐assembly of clinically‐approved microbubbles (MBs). Ultrasound is noninvasive, penetrates deeply into the human body, and is well‐developed in

Theory to predict shear stress on cells in turbulent blood flow.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Shear stress on blood cells and platelets transported in a turbulent flow dictates the fate and biological activity of these cells. We present a theoretical link between energy dissipation in turbulent flows to the shear stress that cells experience and ...
