Alveolar Tissue Fibers and Surfactant Effects on Lung Mechanics – Model Development and Validation on ARDS and IPF Patients 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Alveolar Tissue Fibers and Surfactant Effects on Lung Mechanics – Model Development and Validation on ARDS and IPF Patients
Author(s)3: Jiayao Yuan, Caitlyn M. Chiofolo, Benjamin James Czerwin, Nikolaos Karamolegkos, Nicolas W. Chbat

Goal: Alveolar compliance is a main determinant of lung airflow. The compliance of the alveoli is a function of their tissue fiber elasticity, fiber volume, and surface tension. The compliance…

Pathologic blood samples tolerate exposure to vibration and high turbulence in simulated drone flights, but plasma samples should be centrifuged after flight. 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Pathologic blood samples tolerate exposure to vibration and high turbulence in simulated drone flights, but plasma samples should be centrifuged after flight.
Author(s)3: Karl Arne Johannessen, Nina Kristin Steen Wear, Karin Toska, Morten Hansbø, Jens Petter Berg, Erik Fosse

Abstract: Most of the previous studies of drone transport of blood samples examined normal blood samples transported under tranquil air conditions. We studied the effects of 1- and 2-hour drone…

Modeling the Steady-State Effects of Mean Arterial Pressure on the Kidneys 150 150 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)

Modeling the Steady-State Effects of Mean Arterial Pressure on the Kidneys
Author(s)3: Benjamin James Czerwin, Sandip Patel, Caitlyn M. Chiofolo, Jiayao Yuan, Nicolas W. Chbat

Goal: We describe the relationship between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) since therapies affecting MAP can have large effects on kidney function. Methods: We developed a…
