About the Book

This volume contains copies of most of the papers presented at the 7th International Conference on Modelling in Medicine and Biology (BIOMED/07), which took place at the Wessex Institute of Technology Campus in the New Forest, UK. The success of the conference is the result of focusing on the interaction and collaboration between mechanical scientists and engineers. The advances born of that cooperation have produced substantial progress in health care and in the quality of life of the population.Computer models in particular have been increasingly successful in simulating biological phenomena. Another important contribution due to the wide availability of computational facilities is the ability to process massive amounts of data. All these topics are covered in this book, with the papers divided into the following sections: cardiovascular systems; biomechanics; computational fluid dynamics; intracranial pressure dynamics; exposure to electromagnetic fields; skin and membranes; data acquisition and analysis; and computer simulation.

Table of Contents:
Section 1: Cardiovascular systemsComparison between linear elasticity and large elastic deformation in the study of the contraction of the myocardium; 3D Fluid-Structure Interaction simulation of a bileaflet heart valve opening-closing cycle and comparison with experimental flow data; Calculation of stress and the absorption of Angiotensin in the left ventricle based on two dimensional echocardiograms and MRIs; Human cardiac wall stress analysis with patient-specific myocardial material properties; Modelling of platelet aggregation in aneurysmSection 2: BiomechanicsAnalysis, simulation and prediction of contact stresses in articular cartilage of the knee joint; Finite element analysis of prosthetic knee joint using ANSYS; Comparison of different knee states: intact, without A.C.L. and with a prosthetic using a kinematics simulator; Coupled rotations in the lumbar spine - are these a consequence of passive spinal anatomy?; The effect of soft tissue properties on overall biomechanical response of a human lumbar motion segment: a preliminary finite element study; The effect of trabecular micro-architecture on vertebra biomechanics: a finite element investigation; Simulation of bone indentation; Measuring and modelling arm dynamics to support studies into reducing tremor in individuals with multiple sclerosis; Biomechanical dental implants comparison by means of numerical models and nuclear medicineSection 3: Computational fluid dynamicsCFD investigation of respiratory flows in a space-filling pulmonary acinus model; Design of scaffolds with computer assistanceSection 4: Intracranial pressure dynamicsA comprehensive cerebrovascular simulation model for teaching and research; A mathematical model for the diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic intracranial hypertension; Modeling pathological intracranial pressure waveforms in idiopathic intracranial hypertension; Application of integrative thermodynamic-hemodynamic-pharmacokinetic model to propofol anesthesia for hypothermic decompressionSection 5: Exposure to electromagnetic fieldsSimplified modeling of the human body exposed to power substation electric field using boundary element analysis; Electromagnetic modelling of a human eye exposed to conductive keratoplasty; Computation of maximal magnetic field value generated by a power substation; Human body exposure to fixed potentials surfaces in power substationsSection 6: Skin and membranesExclusive measuring system of constitutive parameters for living soft tissue and application to facial aging problems; Depth sensitivity of the dielectric properties of human skin: simulations and measurementsSection 7: Data acquisition and analysisEEG signal analysis and characterization for the aid of disabled people; Techniques of FECG signal analysis: detection and processing for fetal monitoringSection 8: Computer simulationA method of visualization of a brain neural pathway by using critical points and target regions; Mathematical modeling in drug discovery and development
