Biomedical techniques and applications are being developed placed at the service of clinicians. An example is medical thermography, which used more often in detection certain diseases also pain distribution. Current thermography processing software has some limitations mainly because it for general does not allow identification a Region Of Interest (ROI) with specific anatomic shape. commercial usually uses regular prismatic shapes definition these regions, such as, rectangles, squares,...
Genericamente denominados de “Gavião” ou “Gaviões do Pará”, as etnias grupos autodenominados Kỳikatêjê, Parkatêjê e Akrãtikatêjê estão situados na Terra Indígena Mãe Maria, próximo à cidade Bom Jesus Tocantins da Marabá, margem direita rio Tocantins, Sudeste Pará. Submetidos ao convívio forçado causado pelo avanço violento dos não indígenas em suas terras, extermínios, epidemias exploração extração castanha, dentre outros, os Gavião tem construído estratégias para o fortalecimento das...
Predicting the mechanical strength of components manufactured by additive processes is a challenging task that difficulted complexity geometries fabricated these processes, along with anisotropy enhanced layer-by-layer manufacturing method and difficulty in quickly obtaining elastic properties materials, which are strongly influenced parameters. The use 3D CAD models design phase printing facilitates finite element assessing their simulating in-service behavior. However, analysis printed...
AbstractA conventional approach to tissue engineering involves the implantation of porous, biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds seeded with cells into defect site. In some strategies, requires in vitro culture tissue-engineering constructs for later. this case, bioreactors are used grow 3D tissues under controlled monitored conditions. However, quality resulting is highly dependent on design dimensions bioreactor, as well operating work, a computational fluid dynamic software package...
Tissue engineering aims to repair and regenerate damaged tissues by developing biological substitutes mimicking the natural extracellular matrix. It is evident that scaffolds, being a tri-dimensional matrix, are of extreme importance providing necessary support for new tissue. This tissue cultivated in vivo or vitro bioreactor which placed scaffold with cells. In order control cell culture process inside it essential know fluid flow around witch parameters must be controlled obtain optimum...
Brachytherapy is a radiotherapy modality where the radioactive material placed close to tumor, being common treatment for skin, breast, gynecological and prostate cancers. These treatments can be of low-dose-rate, using isotopes with mean energy 30 keV, or high-dose-rate, such as <sup>192</sup>Ir 380 keV. Currently these are performed in most cases without in-vivo dosimetry quality control assurance. We developed dosimeter small diameter probes that inserted into patient's body standard...
This work presents a finite element thermal analysis of 3-D bioprinter desktop based on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) with applications tissue engineering, designed by the Centre for Rapid and Sustainable Product Development-Leiria, Portugal. The purpose this it is compare three possibilities temperature control machine during extrusion process, considering use biodegradable polyester (Polycaprolactone-PCL) as raw material. first two configurations simulate approaches typically adopted in...
