Comparing physiological impacts of positive pressure ventilation versus self-breathing via a versatile cardiopulmonary model incorporating a novel alveoli opening mechanism

Aneurysmal Growth in Type-B Aortic Dissection: Assessing the Impact of Patient-Specific Inlet Conditions on Key Haemodynamic Indices

This study compares patient-specific inlet velocity profiles with uniform profiles in CFD simulations to assess their impact on hemodynamic indices in Type-B Aortic Dissection.

A novel MRI-based data fusion methodology for efficient, personalised, compliant simulations of aortic haemodynamics

This paper introduces an MRI-based data fusion method for simulating aortic haemodynamics, achieving accurate and efficient patient-specific compliant simulations without CT data.

Canagliflozin Extends Lifespan in Genetically Heterogeneous Male But Not Female Mice

This study shows canagliflozin extends lifespan in male but not female mice, likely by reducing peak glucose levels, similar to acarbose.

Multi-Scale, Patient-Specific Computational Flow Dynamics Models Predict Formation of Neointimal Hyperplasia in Saphenous Vein Grafts

The paper develops a computational model linking hemodynamic simulations to biochemical mechanisms of neointimal hyperplasia in saphenous vein grafts, showing stenosis values matching CT scans.

Sex differences in reward- and punishment-guided actions

This study investigates sex differences in reward- and punishment-guided behaviors using rodent models, finding females show faster punishment-avoidance learning and differential sensitivity to punishment certainty.
