One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation01:24

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

570
This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.

Modeling and Similitude

289
Scaled modeling is a fundamental technique in engineering, enabling the study of large and complex systems by creating smaller, manageable replicas that recreate critical characteristics of the original. In hydrology and civil infrastructure, for example, scaled models of dams help analyze water flow, turbulence, and pressure. This method allows for accurate predictions of real-world behavior within a controlled environment, significantly reducing the cost and time involved in full-scale...

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a collection of statistical and mathematical techniques used to develop, improve, and optimize processes. It is particularly valuable when many input variables or factors potentially influence a response variable.
The process of RSM involves several key steps:

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method

The alternative coordinate method, also known as the Shoelace Formula, is a technique for determining the area of a traverse using Cartesian coordinates. This method relies on the sequential arrangement of x and y coordinates for each point of the shape, ensuring accuracy and ease of application.In this approach, each corner's x and y coordinates are listed as fractions, with the x-coordinate as the numerator and the y-coordinate as the denominator. These coordinates are arranged sequentially...

Vector Algebra: Method of Components

14.0K
It is cumbersome to find the magnitudes of vectors using the parallelogram rule or using the graphical method to perform mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, and multiplication. There are two ways to circumvent this algebraic complexity. One way is to draw the vectors to scale, as in navigation, and read approximate vector lengths and angles (directions) from the graphs. The other way is to use the method of components.
In many applications, the magnitudes and directions of...

Multicompartment Models: Overview01:14

Multicompartment Models: Overview

181
Multicompartment models are mathematical constructs that depict how drugs are distributed and eliminated within the body. They segment the body into several compartments, symbolizing various physiological or anatomical areas connected through drug transfer processes such as absorption, metabolism, distribution, and elimination.
These models offer a more comprehensive representation of drug behavior in the body than one-compartment models. They accommodate the complexity of drug distribution,...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Science

Background:

  • Accurate three-dimensional (3D) corneal reconstruction is crucial for diagnosing and managing corneal diseases.
  • Existing reconstruction methods may lack precision, especially for complex or aberrated corneal surfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel method for 3D corneal surface reconstruction using a non-dominated sorting multivariable genetic algorithm (NS-MVGA).
  • To compare the performance of the NS-MVGA method against standard least-squares discrete fitting (LSQ) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized modal schemes with polynomial functions for corneal shape reproduction from elevation point clouds.
  • Employed NS-MVGA for multivariable polynomial fitting, comparing it with LSQ and SQP.
  • Evaluated reconstruction accuracy using mean squared error (MSE) on 270 corneal surfaces from 102 patients (controls and keratoconus).

Main Results:

  • The NS-MVGA method improved MSE by 86% compared to LSQ in healthy patients.
  • Reconstruction of aberrated surfaces in keratoconus patients showed a 56% improvement with NS-MVGA over LSQ.
  • Significant enhancements were observed in morpho-geometric parameters like asphericity and corneal curvature radii.

Conclusions:

  • The NS-MVGA-based polynomial fitting offers superior accuracy for 3D corneal surface reconstruction compared to traditional methods.
  • This advanced reconstruction technique holds significant potential for improved clinical management of corneal conditions, including keratoconus.
