Trachea01:22

Trachea

5.2K
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a vital part of the human respiratory system. It serves as a passageway for air to travel between the larynx and the bronchi, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs. Let's explore its anatomical features, dimensions, layers of the tracheal wall, associated muscles, and the functions of its parts.
Anatomical Features:
Location: About half of the trachea is situated in the neck, anterior to the esophagus, and extends from the larynx (at the level of...

Fluid Connective Tissues: Blood and Lymph

18.6K
Blood and lymph are fluid connective tissues. They contain cells, also known as formed elements, circulating in a liquid extracellular matrix, the plasma. The formed elements are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Blood and lymph connect all vital parts and carry nutrients, oxygen, and other essential molecules like antibodies.
Blood
The blood flows through blood vessels— arteries, capillaries, and veins. Blood plasma is primarily made of proteins, solutes, and...

The Fluid Mosaic Model01:34

The Fluid Mosaic Model

179.2K
The fluid mosaic model was first proposed as a visual representation of research observations. The model comprises the composition and dynamics of membranes and serves as a foundation for future membrane-related studies. The model depicts the structure of the plasma membrane with a variety of components, which include phospholipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. These integral molecules are loosely bound, defining the cell’s border and providing fluidity for optimal function.

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

8.9K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Dynamic Equilibrium02:20

Dynamic Equilibrium

63.3K
A reversible chemical reaction represents a chemical process that proceeds in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions. When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the concentrations of the reactant and product species remain constant over time and the system is at equilibrium. A special double arrow is used to emphasize the reversible nature of the reaction. The relative concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium systems vary greatly;...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Current airway characterization methods (endoscopic, radiographic) provide static, 2D data, which may be insufficient for complex, dynamic airway pathologies.
  • Minimal luminal area (MLA) may not be the most comprehensive metric for diagnosing airway stenosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for characterizing airway stenosis.
  • To assess CFD's effectiveness in an ovine model using tissue-engineered tracheal grafts (TETGs).

Main Methods:

  • Tissue-engineered tracheal grafts (TETGs) were implanted in sheep.
  • Airway geometries were reconstructed from 3D fluoroscopic images.
  • CFD simulations calculated peak flow velocity (PFV) and peak wall shear stress (PWSS), compared with respiratory symptom scores and MLA.

Main Results:

  • Elevated PFV and PWSS from CFD correlated strongly with respiratory symptoms (R²=0.92 and 0.99).
  • CFD metrics showed a higher correlation with symptoms than MLA (R²=0.61).
  • Stenting improved symptoms and sustained graft PFV and PWSS.

Conclusions:

  • CFD provides a valid method for assessing complex airflow and airway characteristics, aiding in intervention decisions.
  • CFD can effectively evaluate the functionality of tissue-engineered tracheal grafts (TETGs).
