Mechanical Circulatory Support is one of the few available alternative interventions for late-stage heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. A ventricular assist device is surgically implanted and connected to the left and or right heart ventricles to provide additional bloodflow, off-loading the work required by the heart to maintain circulation. Modern mechanical circulatory support devices generate non-physiological flow conditions that can lead to the damage and rupture of blood cells (hemolysis), and the formation of blood clots (thrombosis), which pose severe health risks to the patient. It is essential to improve prediction tools for blood damage to reduce the risk of hemolysis and thrombosis. A simulation-based approach examines the interaction between hemolysis and thrombosis. Incompressible finite-volume computational fluid dynamics simulations are executed on an open-hub axial flow ventricular assist device. A continuum model of thrombosis and the intrinsic coagulation process is extended to include the effect of hemolysis. The model accounts for the effect of activation of platelets by shear stress, paracrine signaling, adhesion, and hemoglobin and ADP released during hemolysis. The effect of hemolysis with thrombosis is modelled by accounting for the hyper-adhesivity of von-Willebrand Factor on extracellular hemoglobin, and the increased rate of platelet activation induced by ADP release. Thrombosis is assessed at varying inflow rates and rotor speeds, and cases are executed where thrombosis is affected by ADP release and Hb-induced hyper-adhesivity. It is found that there is a non-negligible effect from hemolysis on thrombosis across a range of rotor speeds, and that hyperadhesivity plays a dominant role in thrombus formation in the presence of hemolysis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49836,"journal":{"name":"Medical Engineering & Physics","volume":"131 ","pages":"Article 104218"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142050436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurately predicting the onset of epilepsy can effectively improve the quality of life for patients with the condition. While there are many methods for detecting epilepsy, EEG is currently considered one of the most effective analytical tools due to the abundant information it provides about brain activity. The aim of this study is to explore potential time-frequency and channel features from multi-channel epileptic EEG signals and to develop a patient-specific seizure prediction network. In this paper, an epilepsy EEG signal classification algorithm called Channel Recurrent Criss-cross Attention Network (CRCANet) is proposed. Firstly, the spectrograms processed by the short-time fourier transform is input into a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Then, the spectrogram feature map obtained in the previous step is input into the channel attention module to establish correlations between channels. Subsequently, the feature diagram containing channel attention characteristics is input into the recurrent criss-cross attention module to enhance the information content of each pixel. Finally, two fully connected layers are used for classification. We validated the method on 13 patients in the public CHB-MIT scalp EEG dataset, achieving an average accuracy of 93.8 %, sensitivity of 94.3 %, and specificity of 93.5 %. The experimental results indicate that CRCANet can effectively capture the time-frequency and channel characteristics of EEG signals while improving training efficiency.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49836,"journal":{"name":"Medical Engineering & Physics","volume":"130 ","pages":"Article 104213"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141963842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
