Importance Children with congenital heart defects who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery are at risk for delayed or impaired neurodevelopmental outcomes. Nitric oxide (NO) added to the CPB oxygenator may reduce systemic inflammation due and improve recovery from surgery, including improved Objective To investigate neurodevelopment, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), factors associated neurodevelopment 12 months post in infants received NO standard CPB. Design, Setting,...
Several studies suggest that central (aortic) blood pressure (cBP) is a better marker of cardiovascular disease risk than peripheral (pBP). The morphology the pBP wave, usually assessed non-invasively in arm, differs significantly from cBP whose direct measurement highly invasive. In particular, pulse pressure, PP (the amplitude wave), increases to arteries, leading so-called amplification (ΔPP). main purpose this study was develop methodology for estimating (cPP) non-invasive measurements...
We study the dynamics of microfluidic interfaces driven by pulsatile pressures in presence neutral and hydrophilic walls. For this, we propose a new phase field model that takes inertia into account. wetting, interface is characterized response function depends on non-dimensional frequency, which involves time scale associated with inertia. have found regime, for large values this relevant, our necessary correct description dynamics. walls, contact line forcing basically undistinguishable to...
Abstract The Windkessel (WK) model is a simplified mathematical used to represent the systemic arterial circulation. While WK useful for studying blood flow dynamics, it suffers from inaccuracies or uncertainties that should be considered when using make physiological predictions. This paper aims develop an efficient and easy‐to‐implement uncertainty quantification method based on local gradient‐based formulation quantify of pressure waveform resulting aleatory parameters waveform. proposed...
We study the dynamics of microfluidic fronts driven by pulsatile pressures in presence patches hydrophilic wetting on walls confining media. To do so, we use a recently developed phase-field model that takes inertia into account. track interface position channels with different spacing between and observe smaller spacing, faster advancement front. find patterning induces modulating contact line causes an effective wetting, which turn determines modulation velocity. characterize frequency...
