The electric field intensity is a critical factor in the therapeutic efficacy of TTFields, as stronger electric field can more effectively impede the proliferation and survival of tumor cells. In this study, we aimed to improve the therapeutic effectiveness of TTFields by optimizing the position of electrode arrays, resulting in an increased electric field intensity at the tumor. Three representative head models of real glioblastoma patients were used as the research subjects in this study. The improved subtraction-average-based optimization (ISABO) algorithm based on circle chaos mapping, opposition-based learning and golden sine strategy, was employed to optimize the positions of the four sets of electrode arrays on the scalp. The electrode positions are dynamically adjusted through iterative search to maximize the electric field intensity at the tumor. The experimental results indicate that, in comparison to the conventional layout, the positions of the electrode arrays obtained by the ISABO algorithm can achieve average electric field intensity of 1.7887, 2.0058, and 1.3497 V/cm at the tumor of three glioblastoma patients, which are 23.6%, 29.4%, and 8.5% higher than the conventional layout, respectively.

An advanced laser delivery system equipped with a pulsed UV laser with specific parameters is used to ablate parts of the cornea surface to correct the existing refractive error. The argon fluoride (ArF) excimer pulsed gas laser at 193 nm is the most employed type in the commercial devices for such treatments. This laser is generated using a mixture of Argon, Fluorine, and a significant amount of Neon gases. However, due to the ongoing Russian-Ukraine war, the availability of Neon gas is currently very limited, as this region is considered the primary supplier of pure Neon gas. Consequently we suggest replacing the common ArF laser source in the commercial devices with a solid-state (forth harmonic neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser at 266 nm). This replacement uses the same operation parameters, optics, and scanning algorithm. Parameters from five commercial devices (Zeiss MEL 90, Technolas TENEO 317, Alcon Wave Light EX 500, Schwind Amaris 750 s, OptoSystems MICROSCAN VISUM) were compared with those of the i-ablation device, a research device that uses a 266 nm laser source. Our goal is to reduce production costs through a simple modification that has a significant impact. Consequently, the present study aims to find an alternative laser source for the current ArF laser without exchanging the complete system's design. This recommendation is based on a numerical simulation study. The thermal effect on a human cornea model was numerically evaluated using finite-element solutions of Pennes' bioheat equation on the COMSOL platform by applying two laser wavelengths. The results demonstrated that changing the laser source significantly impacts the thermal effect, even with the same laser settings. All studied devices showed a reduction in the thermal effect to below 40°C, compared with nearly 100°C under ordinary conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":50349,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering","volume":"40 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142001183","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}

Machine learning (ML) using neural networks has been used to overcome limitations of traditional ROM techniques when applied to nonlinear problems, which has led to the recent development of reduced order models augmented by machine learning (ML-ROMs). However, the performance of ML-ROMs is yet to be widely evaluated in realistic applications and questions remain regarding the optimal design of ML-ROMs. In this study, we investigate the application of a non-intrusive parametric ML-ROM to a nonlinear, time-dependent fluid dynamics problem in a complex 3D geometry. We construct the ML-ROM using POD for dimensionality reduction and neural networks for interpolation of the ROM coefficients. We compare three different network designs in terms of approximation accuracy and performance. We test our ML-ROM on a flow problem in intracranial aneurysms, where flow variability effects are important when evaluating rupture risk and simulating treatment outcomes. The best-performing network design in our comparison used a two-stage POD reduction, a technique rarely used in previous studies.

A finite element (FE) model from a healthy human computed tomography was used to evaluate TMJ dynamic using two methods, namely, a conventional spatial-oriented method (displacement-driven) and a compliant muscle-initiated method (masticatory muscle-driven). The same virtual FE model was 3D printed and a custom designed experimental platform was established to validate the accuracy of experimental and theoretical results of the TMJ biomechanics during mandibular movements. The results show that stress distributed to TMJ and articular disc from mandibular movements provided better representation from the muscle-driving approach than those of the displacement-driven modeling. The simulation and experimental data exhibited significant strong correlations during opening, protrusion, and laterotrusion (with canonical correlation coefficients of 0.994, 0.993, and 0.932, respectively). The use of muscle-driven modeling holds promise for more accurate forecasting of stress analysis of TMJ and articular disc during mandibular movements.

Collaterals at the level of the Circle of Willis and distal collaterals, such as the leptomeningeal arteries, serve as alternative avenues of flow when the primary pathway is obstructed during an ischemic stroke. Stroke treatment typically involves catheterization of the primary pathway, and the potential risk of further flow reduction to the affected brain area during this treatment has not been previously investigated. To address this clinical question, we derived the lumped parameters for catheterized blood vessels and implemented a corresponding distributed compartment (0D) model. This 0D model was validated against an experimental model and benchmark test cases solved using a 1D model. Additionally, we compared various off-center catheter trajectories modeled using a 3D solver to this 0D model. The differences between them were minimal, validating the simplifying assumption of the central catheter placement in the 0D model. The 0D model was then used to simulate blood flows in realistic cerebral arterial networks with different collateralization characteristics. Ischemic strokes were modeled by occlusion of the M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery in these networks. Catheters of different diameters were inserted up to the obstructed segment and flow alterations in the network were calculated. Results showed up to 45% maximum blood flow reduction in the affected brain region.

Patient-specific and well-tuned boundary conditions are key to obtaining accurate and reliable hemodynamic results. However, CFD simulations are usually performed under non-patient-specific flow conditions due to the absence of in vivo flow and pressure measurements. This study proposes a new method to overcome this challenge by tuning inlet boundary conditions using data extracted from electrocardiogram (ECG). Five patient-specific geometric models of type B aortic dissection were reconstructed from computed tomography (CT) images. Other available data included stoke volume (SV), ECG, and 4D-flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ECG waveforms were processed to extract patient-specific systole to diastole ratio (SDR). Inlet boundary conditions were defined based on a generic aortic flow waveform tuned using (1) SV only, and (2) with ECG and SV (ECG + SV). 4D-flow MRI derived inlet boundary conditions were also used in patient-specific simulations to provide the gold standard for comparison and validation. Simulations using inlet flow waveform tuned with ECG + SV not only successfully reproduced flow distributions in the descending aorta but also provided accurate prediction of time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) in the primary entry tear (PET) and abdominal regions, as well as maximum pressure difference, <i>∆P</i><sub>max</sub>, from the aortic root to the distal false lumen. Compared with simulations with inlet waveform tuned with SV alone, using ECG + SV in the tuning method significantly reduced the error in false lumen ejection fraction at the PET (from 149.1% to 6.2%), reduced errors in TAWSS at the PET (from 54.1% to 5.7%) and in the abdominal region (from 61.3% to 11.1%), and improved <i>∆P</i><sub>max</sub> prediction (from 283.1% to 18.8%) However, neither of these inlet waveforms could be used for accurate prediction of TAWSS in the ascending aorta. This study demonstrates the importance of SDR in tailoring inlet flow waveforms for patient-specific hemodynamic simulations. A well-tuned flow waveform is essential for ensuring that the simulation results are patient-specific, thereby enhancing the confidence and fidelity of computational tools in future clinical applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":50349,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering","volume":"40 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cnm.3855","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141762326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
