Cardiac modeling has recently emerged as a promising tool to study pathophysiology mechanisms and to predict treatment outcomes for personalized clinical decision support. Nevertheless, achieving convergence under large ...

Atrial fibrillation is considered the most common arrhythmia in humans. Because the left atrium of the heart stops beating properly and begins to do so in an arrhythmic manner, the blood may become stagnant in a small ...

It is well known that injuries affect the tissue integrity. It might be less known that injury mechanisms could be initiated through a compromised cell response, which subsequently affects the tissue integrity. Such injuries ...

Objetivo: El diagnóstico de osteoporosis se ha fundamentado en la medición de la densidad mineral ósea, si bien esta variable tiene una capacidad limitada en la discriminación de pacientes con o sin fracturas. La ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered the most common human arrhythmia. Around 99% of thrombi in non-valvular AF are formed in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Studies suggest that abnormal LAA haemodynamics and the ...

Prostate volume changes due to edema occurrence during transperineal permanent brachytherapy should be taken under consideration to ensure optimal dose delivery. Available edema models, based on prostate volume observations, ...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disease characterized by articular cartilage degradation, inflammation and pain. An extensive range of in vivo and in vitro studies evidences that mechanical loads induce changes ...

Introduction: 3D printed trussed titanium interbody cages may deliver bone stimulating mechanobiological strains to cells attached at their surface. The exact size and distribution of these strains may depend on patient-specific ...

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the choice of clinical treatment, gait functionality, and kinetics in patients with comparable knee osteoarthritis. Design: This was an ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is nowadays the most common human arrhythmia and it is considered a marker of an increased risk of embolic stroke. It is known that 99% of AF-related thrombi are generated in the left atrial ...
