Effects of Short Exposure to High Shear on Neutrophil State and Function
(2018)
Cardiovascular disease is an ever expanding global issue. Many pathological conditions have been recently linked to elevated local shear rates (>3,000 s-1). Such vulnerable regions have also been found in mechanical support ...
TENDON TISSUE ENGINEERING: AN INVESTIGATION INTO ENHANCED BIOREACTOR CULTURE AND CONSTRUCT STIMULATION TECHNIQUES
(2014-06)
Tendon tissue engineering is a field that arose as there became a need for alternatives for surgical grafts utilized in injured tendon treatments. This is due to either underperforming current technology of off the shelf ...
COMPUTATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF TURBULENT BLOOD FLOW AND HEMOLYSIS IN BIOMEDICAL DEVICES
(2015-12-18)
Turbulent blood flow in medical devices contributes to blood trauma, yet the exact mechanism(s) have not been fully elucidated. Local turbulent stresses, viscous stresses, and the rate of dissipation of the turbulent kinetic ...
